DEVELOPMENT UPDATE: 12/21

We’ve made a number of improvements to the protocol to accommodate a growing user base - with total protocol volume surpassing one million FORE just a few weeks in! To allow you to see protocol statistics in real time, we’ll soon be deploying a dashboard that shows key metrics: volume, burns, and rewards.

Since our last development update, we’ve deployed several updates:

New features:

Referral program launch: With the launch of our decentralized referral program, you can earn FORE by bringing new users to FORE Predict. Learn more and start earning 1% of your friends’ activity.

SEO support: Market links will now display relevant market data when shared for better visibility on social media and search engines.

Bugs and improvements:

App optimization: We’ve optimized the loading of the app across a number of areas to increase performance and reduce loading times.

NFT load optimization: Active validators reported increasing load times as the power of their NFTs increased. We have made several fixes to this to enable Analysts to capture validator rewards quickly and seamlessly. 

NFT claim on market draw: We've fixed a problem where some users couldn't claim back their Analyst NFT from markets that concluded in a DRAW. 

Improved approval workflow: We've refined the approval workflow to prevent issues around market creation and other functions pertaining to ‘max spend’.

Portfolio view: We’ve addressed a glitch that was preventing new users from visiting the portfolio page.

Validation view: We've addressed minor issues related to the validation view to make it more user friendly.

Chart displays: Charts on market pages have been improved when toggling time-series.

Minor bug fixes: Addressed and resolved some minor bugs to enhance the overall user experience.

Documentation:

Dispute-related Information: While the number of disputes has been minimal (with just four markets disputed to date out of over 300), we’ve added more information and clarity to our documentation around the dispute process.

In-app linking: For improved onboarding in-app, we’ve added more sign-posting within the app itself.

‍Next priorities:

User requests: We will continue to prioritize your feedback, including gasless approvals, improved tracking of activity, and improving the UI.

YouTube integration: To make market pages more dynamic, we’re working on a YouTube integration to display related content pertaining to live markets.

Dashboard: With hundreds of users onboarded already, creating hundreds of markets and burning hundreds of thousands of FORE, we’re prioritizing deploying a dashboard so you can track activity on FORE in real time.

In-app translation: As we prepare for expansion into new markets through large regional partners, we’re working on an integration to translate the protocol and markets seamlessly in-app.

FORE Markets: Deployment of a ‘market alert’ bot on social channels to provide real-time alerts for new markets, markets about to close, and markets entering validation.

Longer-term priorities: fiat on-ramp, new market structures, USD-denomination of activity, and much, much more. We’ll be releasing a detailed development roadmap very soon - stay tuned!
