Hello everyone! Back with another update, and this one has been particularly satisfying to write not because of any single big announcement, but because of the sheer volume of foundational work that quietly came together this month.
A lot of what we shipped isn’t flashy. It’s the kind of infrastructure work that only becomes visible when it isn’t there. But we believe in showing our work, so here’s everything we’ve been up to.
Marketplace Contract
The marketplace smart contract is deployed and verifiable on Astar Mainnet.

This contract handles listings, offers, and sales. Having it live on mainnet is a necessary step before we can open up the full marketplace experience to users, and we’re glad to have it done.
Real-Time Indexing
We implemented a real-time indexing pipeline for all ERC-721 activity on Astar Mainnet. New contract deployments, mints, and transfers are picked up as they happen the platform now reflects the actual state of the chain rather than a snapshot of it.
We’re currently watching 4,795 contract addresses simultaneously. That number grows as new collections are deployed. The whole system runs continuously in the background, which is what makes the explorer and profile pages actually useful on a day-to-day basis.
We did a thorough pass through our indexed data to filter out dead collections contracts with broken metadata, empty URIs, or no meaningful on-chain activity. The goal was simple: when someone browses Aradia, they should only see things that are real and alive. The cleanup made a noticeable difference in the quality of what gets surfaced.
We built a recovery pipeline that runs alongside the main indexer, specifically designed to catch and patch gaps whether that’s missing transfers, failed metadata fetches, or collections that came in incomplete. Here’s where things stand:
- 437 total recoveries executed
- 4,655 tokens recovered and re-indexed
- 185 collections healed
- 1.16 million live NFTs currently tracked
The reconciler compares on-chain state against our database continuously. It’s not something we ran once it’s a permanent part of how we keep data fresh.
The monitoring numbers have been looking good this month. RPC and DB write latency are consistently under a second, memory usage is holding steady between 12 and 20 MiB, and there have been zero mass failures. The polling and WebSocket cursors are fully in sync.
API traffic has been steady, with the most active endpoint being https://aradia.app/api/v1/historical/collections which tells us people are actually browsing and exploring collections regularly
UI & Bug Fixes
Alongside the infrastructure work, we kept chipping away at the user-facing side of things. A few UI improvements landed this month mostly around clarity and flow along with several bug fixes that had been sitting on the list for a while. The platform feels noticeably cleaner as a result.
Something for the Community
We’ve been thinking a lot about how to bring the community more directly into what we’re building, and we’re working on an event and feature specifically designed for that. The idea is for people to be able to participate together, not just use the platform as individuals.
Part of what we’re exploring involves finding ways to benefit the people who have been staking on Aradia through dApp Staking. We’re not ready to share the full details yet, but it’s something we’re actively designing with the community in mind. More on this soon.
