Busy week behind the scenes for ZUNA, and a crazy week for crypto as a whole.

I’m sure most have heard or read about the issues with FTX and have felt the results of fear in the market.

This will undoubtedly bring about change in the industry, and as it evolves (whatever that might look like) it’s clear that decentralized transparency is more important than ever.

This is, in our opinion what crypto is all about. Freedom of finance, which is what we’ve always stood for and aimed to build.

Undoubtedly there have been heavy losses across the board recently regardless of chain or project.

Most of us have at some point thought or said “if only I had bought Bitcoin or ____ coin/token when it was “this” price… I’d be set for life”

We’re approaching/already in one of the greatest opportunities to build holdings that will provide life changing returns in the future.

We’ll continue to build and remain on the side of decentralized finance and transparency.

This week we’ve been working closing with the tech team on many backend upgrades that were needed before starting on secondary marketplace sales and handling other currency integrations. Progress is coming along nicely, and things are being done to a high standard.

We’re working to roll out new incentives/campaigns to push holder generated content and marketing. A new portal/page is nearly finished that will provide several graphics and material for holders to use, as well as a community upload option so that you can share your created content with other holders.

With the market we’re in marketing dollars are better spent giving back to our community and incentivizing everyone to be actively promoting ZUNA on a daily basis.

Your voices are ~30,000 strong, and you are our greatest asset.

In this market.. we win by working together as a community. We will do whatever we can to support that goal.

Get loud ZUNA crew 🚀

💤 ZunaNauts Reward Upgrade + January Rewards 💤

1) Had the tech team go ahead and make the upgrade to the ZunaNauts reward program ahead of schedule, hence the delay in rewards this month.

2) The upgraded reward plan will go live in the next day or two and you will be receiving the new upgraded amount.

3) We are resetting the 12 month clock on all ZunaNauts already minted, meaning if you have been receiving rewards up until this point.. consider those months a bonus for being an early supporter. (You will begin receiving 12 months of the increased rewards starting this month)

Reminder: Just over a week left to collect any additional ZunaNauts before the vault closes. You will not get a second chance.

💤Rewards Update💤

The new upgraded reward plan didn’t trigger correctly, sorted the contract issue so it won’t happened again.

Tiers 1 - 2: paid twice on old reward plan (overpayment for the new 1.5x reward plan)

Tier 3: paid twice on old reward plan (correct payment for the new 2x reward plan)

Tier 4-6: paid yesterday once on old plan with another payment dropping this evening bringing them to correct payment for new 2x reward plan

Apologies for confusion! Changes always bring about new surprises :)

for those asking: 10% transaction fee’s still apply to new plan

Separate update coming soon on secondary marketplace integration (it is live and being tested live now) plus other features that have been deployed/being deployed.

💤 What’s happening at ZUNA? 💤 [1 of 2]

Hey ZUNA Crew! This update is overdue - everyone has been hard at work and my head has been down building great things for our future. Let’s catch you up to speed:

👇🏼 New to ZUNAVERSE👇🏼

From the user end there are several updates that have happened that you probably won’t notice - we recently upgraded our indexing in a major way as this was the cause of many issues, often intermittent and hard to pinpoint. Took some time but seems to have done the trick! There have been a few other updates (small and large) that haven’t been announced, here they are:

✅️Secondary Marketplace is now LIVE - this means that our marketplace is now reading and indexing all NFT contracts on Binance Smart Chain. You can be holding or buy an NFT elsewhere, and as long as it’s on Binance Smart Chain it will show in your wallet when connected to ZUNAVERSE. You can list it for sale as you would any other NFT. This feature has also been fully integrated with our ZUNA buy back/Reward system - and will count towards overall volume flowing into the ZUNA ecosystem.

✅️Metadata for social sharing - correct images and descriptions now show for your NFT’s and Collections

✅️Sort by price (low-high and high-low) fixed and back up

✅️Connectivity issues: we’ve run dozens of tests across multiple device types and browsers and have fixed all issues possible. Indexing upgrade helped with some of this - currently we cannot reproduce connectivity issues on any device or browser. (Safari is still not recommended - and in general is behind on being crypto friendly)

Side note for those wondering: Brave browser would be my personal recommendation for security + privacy + crypto friendly. Built on chrome framework and you still have access to all chrome extensions.

👇🏼 Coming soon to ZUNAVERSE 👇🏼

We’re almost finished with many marketplace upgrades, here are a few things to get excited about in the near future:

✅️Bulk uploading and listing NFT’s for sale!
Creators wanting to list large collections will soon be able to upload their full NFT collection all in one go, perfect for those wanting to launch a project easily and still pay nothing in minting fee’s thanks to Lazy Minting. Here is the flow:

- Bulk upload NFT graphics
- Upload .CSV spreadsheet (our provided form) that provides metadata like the name, description, properties, collection, price etc.. for each corresponding NFT graphic — you will also have the option to apply the same meta across the entire upload if desired
- Choose auction or buy now and list for sale

✅️New partnership!
We have the first of many projects joining ZUNAVERSE, we will be integrating their token shortly and they will be dropping their first NFT collection on our platform - that will be used in their upcoming Metaverse Project. I’ve spoken at length with the development team and Ceo and while they are a newer project they have solid fundamentals and are working on some very cool things - I was also pleased to find that they share similar morals and principles as myself and other ZUNA founders.

More dates to be announced and I will release the name and details soon along with our marketing campaign to assist the launch of their collection. For now I will share that they are building a Metaverse experience with Celebrity Concerts and A-Lister Islands, along with P2E games and a Social dApp. They’ll be dropping a collection of 2,200 Game Characters on ZUNAVERSE, with an additional Metaverse collection in the future.

✅️ZUNAVERSE UI/UX Facelift
We've largely been focused on the backend and feature list of our beloved marketplace, turning some attention to upgrading our marketplace aesthetic. It's time ZUNAVERSE looked as good as it is! New UI/UX dropping soon.

✅️Industry News Portal (fancy words for Blog)
We'll be adding a resource for NFT News and happenings and tips and tricks for creators + buyers. Will be great for seo and help us attract more users over time.

🚀 Ai Superpowers 🚀

Over the past few weeks I have been deep diving into artificial intelligence and workshopping different ways that it can help us, I firmly believe that Ai will transform many industries including ours very soon. It is far more powerful than most people realize and will only continue to advance. My intention is to leverage it however we can and be early to the game, which leads me to our first Ai application in a line of many:

I’ve just begun development on our upcoming NFT Creator Portal (with a big twist) that will give any NFT Creator Ai Superpowers when launching their project. Trained specifically for our industry - our Ai Creator Portal will effectively assist in all forms of marketing, scheduling, content creation, and management of communities (telegram/discord). The Ai is being trained on everything NFT related including different launch/sales strategies, lingo and industry terms, and community building/engagement. If you’ve dabbled with any Ai tool - you might grasp how powerful of a tool this could be when applied correctly.

Only ZUNA/ZunaNaut holders will be allowed in beta group - if you’ve been wanting to launch a collection.. get ready! This tool will be a cheat code.

Outside NFT Creators will be allowed in at some point (for a fee) with goal of attracting and pushing towards ZUNAVERSE. There will be special perks/powers for ZUNAVERSE users. More details to come.


💤 Together we will win!

We will continue to push for new partnerships with other projects, integrating a host of different tokens and collections, the more friends we make in this market the better. Our goal is to build the NFT Hub for Binance Smart Chain projects, partnering with unique projects that stand for innovation and strong core values.

Continue to be loud and proud about the future of ZUNA! This is as much your project as it is mine. The best thing you can do for your own investment is to be an engaged and active holder. I cannot stress this enough - without you as a community actively promoting and sharing our mission.. it won’t matter what we build or how much we invest into development. If you are on the sidelines watching, find a way to re-engage, find a way to help.

Those that have already been crushing it on social media - a personal thank you 🙏🏼 and BIG shoutout. I see it all and love the energy and enthusiasm, it fires me up and keeps me going! 🔥

That’s it for now - back to work.

Stay strong ZUNA! Love you all.

Blake
