Since featuring in the dApp nominees at the VeChain DevCon in San Fransisco, we aimed to follow up with a simply upgrade of our MVP NFT contract, keep building and hope they would come. However, it’s now become a case of they have indeed come, en masse, and we are making sure we are prepared. In fact, our potential client base has now surpassed over 100K users which while great for those wanting plenty of VeThor burned, means we have to get things right, steadily and in stages. So before we talk about Alpha V.2, here’s a recap of the past couple of months. We have:

Filled up two membership campaigns to max capacity.

Partnered with several entities, including 15000LV, Desktopography, an undisclosed digital art site, two well-known artists and several more clients.

Initiated a card-collectible game with a well-known fantasy author and ex-Eidos game developer using VRA as it’s backend.

Created and disclosed the first Collectible to be auctioned on VRA.

Decided to work with several VeChain community dApps, including VeChain Stats and Everscore in separate projects and include Comet integration and CometVerse Avatars.

Revamped our team, roadmap and developments.

VRA has no intention of ‘being another NFT site’. We want to set the standard. VeChain protocols such as Multi-Party Payment Protocol which allows fiat to token creation and VIP-191( fee delegation ), and the future use of OceanEx fiat on-ramps will make VRA one of the most seamless NFT portals available. More importantly though:

We want to build a VeriArti World, rich with community features and an accessible user interface.

That’s where Alpha V.2 comes in.

What is Alpha V.2

As we have a large amount of members already, we are opening Alpha V.2 as a closed test for 200 members only. Most of these will be chosen at random, some deliberately. If you have been chosen, then on Thursday, August 1st, you will receive an email, your login will be reopened, and you will receive your first badges. Alpha V.2 will be testing out our new community features and VRA ‘world’. These features include:

New advanced profiles rich with customisable avatars, cover images, fields, activity streams and messaging services.

Ability to make groups, friendships and search through members.

Achievements and leaderboards, including badges, points (community and market) and rankings.

Live chat for premium members (although all 200 will have access to this in Alpha V.2).

So, look out for an email on August 1st, along with an ‘Early Bird’ badge, to see if you are selected, and if you are, and help us with a bug or improvement, you will receive your ‘Bug Hunter’ badge and a points package!

All the best,

The VeriArti Team
