Development Update — 2026-08-27

Overview: Where Development Is Heading

The backend repo is currently focused on bug fixes, new features. Several fixes are landing to stabilize the existing flows. New feature work is progressing in parallel. Recent commit subjects include: Fix ipfs.io rate limiting: serialize requests, detect 504 lockout, cache duplicate CID fetches; Add chainWatch backfill mode (-u/-u-dry/-full): rewrite inline base64 + ipfs/http images to CDN, normalize CID URLs, per-chain + ipfs.io rate limits, per-minute stats; remove unused routes from server.js and update imports; Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/refactor2026' into refactor2026; fix: use = instead of LIKE for numeric for_coll_id in nftMetaById. The work is tightening the foundation before more blockchain-facing features ship.

Overview: Where Development Is Heading

Recent frontend development is focused on refining collection page experiences, with major investments in performance optimizations, SEO metadata accuracy, and robust multi-chain, multi-locale sitemap generation. The team is also eliminating client-side hydration inefficiencies to reduce redundant data refetches, while aligning frontend collection data handling with backend contracts to standardize chain and slug resolution across the app.

Project Direction — Both repos are converging on a stable, production-ready NFT marketplace. The backend is hardening core systems while the frontend improves architecture and user experience.
