Development Update — 2026-09-10

Overview: Where Development Is Heading

Recent development is centered on hardening and expanding the backend's NFT metadata and chainWatch data processing capabilities, with recent work adding canonical collection name support, normalizing IPFS and inline image URLs to a CDN, and rolling out new chainWatch backfill modes for full historical chain data ingestion. The team is also prioritizing operational resilience through improvements like per-chain and IPFS

Overview: Where Development Is Heading

The frontend repo is currently focused on maturing its collections feature set, with recent work centered on hardening server-side rendering support, standardizing routing paths, adding search and pagination functionality, and fixing metadata injection to improve SEO and consistent performance across direct page loads and client navigation. The team is also prioritizing cross-page design alignment, with recent updates to the contact page to match the broader design system, alongside foundational fixes to hydration, loader behavior, and core rendering to resolve edge case bugs.

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.
