Tech/Dev/Feature Updates

To improve the overall LUXY experience, the Development team has decided to integrate a more regular deployment of feature updates to migrate any changes as seamlessly as possible to maintain a high-level user experience.

Deployed upgrades:

  • Launchpad Design adjustments
    Several design adjustments and upgrades for the launchpad including resizing field widths, adjusting colours and shapes, and improving and upgrading aesthetics.
  • Launchpad — Customize the Drop — Fix logic on project name altering
    Added a constraint to no longer accept project name alterations once a drop has a contract, as the contract name is something extracted directly from the smart contract and cannot be adjusted.
  • Handle similar/identical names for new Collections
    Added a constraint to no longer accept Collections with identical names to be created within the Luxy platform. We also implemented a popup warning displayed for users if their chosen Collection name is similar to another one existing on the platform.
  • Refactor Home Page — Default sorting by Popularity — NFTs/Collections:
    Update the sorting criteria for the NFTs and Collections that are shown on the homepage, offering users more relevant NFTs/Collections viewable first.
  • Structural upgrades to our backbones services
    We implemented several updates to the backbones services of the platform to make it more reliable, efficient, secure, and fast. These changes will also reflect on some bugs appearing previously on the application, such as transactions not showing on the user page.
  • Internal Admin panel
    Upgrade, refactor, and general review of admin panel, facilitating smoother workflow and removing invalid options.

Final stage developments:

  • Finance Related Integration
    Upcoming integrations with major partners aim to greatly improve the checkout and transaction processes within Luxy for users. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Discord for updates coming soon.
  • Notification System
    Creation of a notification system inside Luxy, with in-app and email notifications. Developing a basic structure and implementing initial testing of various types of notifications, such as those related to your bids and offers. More advanced notifications will be added as we build the system.
  • New explorer page
    A new explorer page will allow users to browse NFTs and Collections more efficiently and easily while providing an additional filter feature that will enable users to filter search results more thoroughly through various criteria.
  • New automatic contract checker for the launchpad
    This feature automatizes sections of the workflow of approving your launchpad application by improving how we check if your project's smart contract complies with our standards. Before, this was a manual process, adding days to the review process involving our development and admin teams. Now, this review is done in real-time: when you add a contract, Luxy will immediately tell you if the contract is valid. If your contract has issues, we’ll pinpoint them to you, so you can fix them and resubmit your application.
  • Search Engine Upgrade
    Perform a refactor on the search engine, allowing users to search for NFTs based on the Collection name.
  • TRV
    Add “TRV” as a searchable term for the Red Village Collection. This will assist the Red Village community in locating the Collection and NFTs on LUXY more easily.

Further to these updates, the development team regularly solves community-raised issues and bugs, striving to streamline and continuously improve the user experience. Recent Bug fixes are outlined below:

Bug fixes:

  • NFT bought on Luxy not showing on user wallet:
    The user bought an NFT, which was not showing on their wallet. The problem and the underlying causes were fixed.
  • Problems seeing the NFT inside Luxy and minting it:
    Different problems, some related to login/authentication and others with the contract the user used. We helped the users through both issues and solved the login/authentication problem.
  • Problems with SysApes NFT during migration:
    Related to an existing open offer when the SysApes team deployed a new contract. We removed the offer from our database, so it cannot be accepted, ensuring no further issues will arise.
  • Launchpad — Updates to the artwork return the contract address error:
    The problem was related to the file size uploaded on the artwork preview and has been rectified.
  • Search by term breaking the frontend:
    A rare case where the application crashed when we were filtering on the explore page by a searched term. The issue was identified, and a fix has been implemented.
  • URL Refactor — Proper fix for special character collection names & username performance:
    During the Launchpad deployment, we had to hardcode some fixes related to some Collections’ names, as they were incompatible with the new URLs logic. A proper fix has now been deployed.
  • DevOps — Review and update deployment pipelines:
    We improved our deployment processes, automating steps that could be automated and making others more secure. We expect smoother launches going forward.
  • Red Village — Fix alignment on statistics so it doesn’t change depending on the content:
    Deployed a fix for a rare problem where displayed text would misalign depending on the set of statistics on a champion’s page.
  • Dark/Light mode — Fix focus mode colours:
    We implemented several fixes to the colours throughout the UI, including the focus mode when the user is on dark/light mode.
  • Users having to clean the cookies to connect to the Metamask wallet at every login:
    The problem was related to the authentication cookies. The issue has been rectified, and now the login flow is much smoother.
