Community Update: Exciting Changes Coming to Our NFT Marketplace! 🚀
Hello, CryptoLand Community!
🎉 Big News: Today, we proudly introduce the first version of our NFT marketplace! 🎉
Okay, we know... it's taking a little time to load. But hang in there! We’ve got some really exciting updates on the way to make everything run smoother and faster.
🔍 Why the wait? Imagine our marketplace is a store that gets its stock from a huge warehouse (called the XRPL). Sometimes, the warehouse takes a while to send stuff over. We're on it!
✨ Long-Term Solutions (Work in progress - 90 days out):
Our Own Assistant, RIPPLED: Think of our new RIPPLED node server as our special helper. It's catching up on all the old stock from the XRPL warehouse (updating transaction history from when we launched it to before our first DGPs were minted). Once it’s all caught up, we can grab stuff way faster! This process does take quite a bit of time, currently it has reached mid June but needs to go all the way back to February.
Meet CLIO: CLIO is like our speediest store assistant. It doesn't run to the big XRPL warehouse; it just asks our RIPPLED assistant. Because CLIO does not interact with the main ledger and only queries our RIPPLED Assistant, it’s a faster way to find your NFTs and the transaction data, but we have to wait a little for RIPPLED to finish catching up.
✨ Short-Term Fixes (Coming super soon! - Most likely by end of next week.):
Subscription Listening mode: Very soon, our system will know in near real time when a transaction has occurred on the XRPL for any of the DGPs minted by the Architect. Like a doorbell ringing every time a new package gets delivered!
Database Driven: At the moment, our site is checking in two places before showing you the NFTs. We're going to make it check just one place, so things will get snappier! This will dramatically decrease the load times on the My DPG Wallet Page and the Marketplace.
Picture Size: Our NFT pictures are beautiful but BIG! The collection comes in at a whopping 13.6 GB of data. We have resized them cutting them down to 3.5% of their original size. The trick was doing this in a way that did not diminish the beautiful art done by our team to give you high quality Digital Game Pieces. Now we just have to teach our system where to find the smaller images, while leaving the high resolution images directly tied to your metadata. Imagine moving from a small backpack carrying large, heavy stones, to a back pack that you are using to carry much smaller gravel, many more individual pieces will fit in the same bag. That means faster loading and more pictures at once!
