Hello everyone! What a joy it is to connect with all of you again. It’s truly incredible how fast time flies when you’re building something with genuine passion. It feels like just yesterday we were closing out our second month, and yet here we are, ready to dive deep into everything that has defined our Third Monthly Report.
This past month hasn’t just been a period of maintenance; it has been a season of technical expansion and the consolidation of strategic alliances that position us as a fundamental pillar within the Astar ecosystem. As someone who lives and breathes this project, it fills me with immense pride to see the pieces of the puzzle finally clicking into place—from the invisible infrastructure of our APIs to the tangible social impact of our latest launches.
Below is a detailed breakdown of our progress, key metrics, and the innovations we have deployed this month.
For a Web3 platform to function with the fluidity we demand, the architecture behind the scenes must be nothing short of robust. Throughout this month, we have dedicated significant resources to optimizing our APIs and WebSockets.
WalletConnect Metrics
Our integration with Reown has provided us with fascinating insights into our community’s behavior. Analyzing our activity data, we’ve observed sustained growth in daily connections. Not only are we seeing more users, but user retention and recurrence have increased by 40% compared to the previous month. This tells us that users aren’t just visiting; they are coming back and making Aradia a part of their daily Web3 workflow.
Astar Collaboration
If one thing defines this month, it is our close collaboration with the Astar Network team. We have worked side-by-side to implement the Burndrop Passport, which holds the prestigious honor of being the first official collection on the Astar Mainnet.
This is a historic milestone for us. Being the team entrusted to provide the infrastructure for its visualization makes us incredibly proud and reaffirms our commitment to the network’s growth.
The Aradia Crowdfund Factory (In Development)
We are currently engineering a personalized crowdfunding system to democratize funding on Astar. This project is built on a triple-contract architecture currently under refinement:
- CrowdfundFactory.sol: A deployer for users to launch independent campaigns.
- CrowdfundProposal.sol: The core engine managing funds, goals, and deadlines.
- ParticipationSBT.sol: An innovative system minting non-transferable Soulbound Tokens as proof of contribution.
The Workflow
We are optimizing the logic so that contributing ASTR automatically triggers the minting of a unique SBT. The system is being built to ensure secure fund withdrawals upon success or guaranteed refunds if the goal is not met. This system is actively being built. In the spirit of transparency, our progress and code remain open for public audit on GitHub as we work toward the official launch.
Ecosystem Growth and Adoption
The numbers on the blockchain don’t lie, and the data extracted from Subscan this month is truly encouraging:
ERC-20 Token Factory
Our token creation tool has “given life” to over 50 different tokens. This proves that Aradia has become the preferred launchpad for new projects seeking technical simplicity without sacrificing security.
ERC-721 Collection Factory (NFTs)
In the NFT space, we have facilitated the creation of 15 new collections. Each represents an artist or a community that has trusted Aradia to immortalize their work on the chain. You can explore these new creations directly through our collection explorer.
The Impact of the Faucet
Our token “faucet” for new users has been vital in reducing entry friction. We have distributed tokens to hundreds of new wallets, allowing newcomers to perform their first transactions and integrate into the Astar ecosystem without any initial economic barriers.
Community Dynamics
Aradia is more than just code; the community is its soul. This month, we launched our first Weekdrop, a dynamic designed to incentivize experimentation on the Shibuya testnet before making the leap to Mainnet.
Users are actively participating for ASTR rewards simply by creating their own collections and testing the tools we’ve built. This hands-on feedback has been invaluable, allowing us to listen to your requests and implement improvements in real-time.
Empowring Artists: The Creator Panel
Finally, we have enabled the Creator Panel, a section dedicated exclusively to giving artists and developers total control over their finances. From this dashboard, you can:
- Track Royalties: View both individual and total accumulated royalties in real-time.
- Claim Rewards: Directly withdraw the rewards generated by your creations with a single click.
As we wrap up this third month, I want to thank you for trusting us, for testing every new feature, and for being an active part of this revolution on Astar. We are building the tools of tomorrow, and we are doing it together.
Thank you for being part of the journey. See you on-chain!
