GM!
It’s been a busy year at the D8A HQ (AKA my laptop)..
I restarted our website design from scratch and have been utilizing AI to speed up development.
Before we had 3 databases on 2 servers for our 3 products:
Metaverse.
Website.
Telegram bot.
Now they’ve all been merged into 1 server..
This was a pain point before because I’d have to update 1 project at a time and had to test individually..
Now it’s a lot smoother on the backend and quicker to upload when changes are made..
How’s it going?:
The expense of $120 a month has been reduced to $50 a month.
A newer website is live for testing and the old test website has been deprecated.
The telegram bot is working well against spam.. (984 banned this year)
The Decentraland metaverse has been getting very exciting lately with all the AI developments.. Now it only takes a few days to build something which would of taken months before..
Statistics:
The telegram bot is in a few groups with around 30,000 users..
3739 users have interacted with the bot directly..
170 users have interacted with the latest metaverse build.. (Since jan) (not told anyone about it tbh)
The unofficial telegram group has been slowly declining since the 2021 boom and is now at 645 users but we’re still actively helping anyone that needs it..
The new website now has accounts integrated so we can start tracking usage better from now onwards.. Go sign up!
So what’s next?:
The website has a lot of bugs that need fixing. (While developing, CCIP was very new so it needs better testing and improving.)
I am actively monitoring all the telegram bot activity and updating as new scams come through but it’s mainly on auto-pilot now..
I want to vibe-code a quick NFT trading platform in decentraland utilizing the D8A technology. And also a twitter/discord bot to help users link their accounts to the D8A platform and maybe more..
I have discovered an interesting use-case for the D8A website so most of my work will be there for the next months. (Secret project)
I’m very proud of the Astar community for not attempting to delist me for lack of engagement as I continue to work behind the scenes!
All your stakes are appreciated!
Thank you all for your continued support!
