Here I recorded a video and talking in details about what we did in the previous week, and where we are going and what this will mean for Moonly.
I highly suggest watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEcWhoIQijE (btw when I say beer 🍺 , I mean bear 🐻 lol ^^). Btw video have chapters, so you can skip directly to the parts you are interested.

Constantly improving and exploring different aspects of application. To mention that we defined Twitter Growth Strategy, which we started applying the last week. There were a lot of small bugs and small fixes which needed to be solved, and they are not worth mentioning here since its very technical.
Our next big goals for the near future are:
Portfolio tracker Staking as a service Discord bot and tools for projects Expand to other chains. ETH, APTOS, etc. And something really big, which I will not discuss until we deliver the above-mentioned features.

Moonly weekly progress update #43
Hello everyone, how was your weekend? This week, Portfolio Tracker and Staking(Locking) features are being tested and prepared for production! Then the real testers will be the holders and other projects who will use these features, and they will give us real feedback!

Moonly weekly progress update #44
Hello everyone! In short. Our Staking as a Service (SaaS) platform is in production finally! This means that other projects could use our SaaS and have mutual benefits from it, as I explained in the video: https://youtu.be/MMX1YnxQRe4 Link to Moonly Staking: https://moon.ly/staking/moonly You can help us test SaaS by staking your Moonly NFT and providing feedback so we can improve the platform for our community and other projects. We also silently introduced ETH and Polygon market stats, which some of you probably saw but we are still working on polishing them. As Stefan said, these are just puzzle pieces of the Moonly ecosystem!

Moonly weekly progress update #45 - First Staking Client
I think we can celebrate this milestone. Why? Because we have our first client, Kaimana DAO, using our SaaS (Staking as a Service) in production. Their community already staked 436 tokens, which is pretty cute.
Since most of our tools have been free so far, I think this is a great new beginning for Moonly. We have a lot more work to do. Releasing other tools that are being developed (Portfolio tracker, Sniper, other Discord tools/bots, Royaltie Detection tool, Raffles, etc) and package them correctly, so it can be easy to consume for users and customers and understand the value we are providing.
We also need to improve existing stuff: some things are broken, bugged, or need improvements. It’s natural in the development world, especially if you make such a complex platform like Moonly.
We aim to polish SaaS even more, package it with other tools, and start reaching projects and people.
Discord HVB bot or Staking as a Service is an excellent way for Moonly to grow. If they use our service, they will basically work for us since all their holders/members will need to come to our website, register, and use our tools.

Moonly weekly progress update #46 - New design for a login page
Hello Guys! How are you all? Some devs were on a small vacation (deserved vacation) this week, but we manage to finish some important stuff.
Finished a new design for a login page. Users can log in via Wallet or via Discord but now we will also integrate logging via Twitter(coming soon).
Once you are logged in you can link your Wallet and your Discord and that way you can upgrade your profile to the next level and you will be able to use some of the new tools and new features that will be locked for the visitors!

Moonly weekly progress update #47 - Testing Raffle Feature
Little by little, we are improving our UI and UX. We released some stuff pretty fast and needed to properly plan where to fit them. Don’t worry, we are aware of that.
We have a lot more work to do. Portfolio tracker, Sniper, other Discord tools/bots, Royalty Detection tool, Raffles, etc are the features being developed as we speak and after they are done we are locking a lot of them on Monthly only for the holders to use!
We already started basic tests for Raffle account validation and have been testing it for a while! We are working simultaneously on every new feature and it’s only a matter of time before everything comes out in the production!

Moonly weekly progress update #48 - Optimizing our Discord Bot
Additional features for our Discord Moonly Bot. Today we tested the first version of the multiple collection role feature. E.g, if you are holding Critters Cult NFT, you will get role-@Critters Cult role. Still testing this feature out, so it’s not fully working yet.
Another tiny feature of Moonly Discord Bot is Announcement Catcher. This feature will automatically pick announcements from the selected channel and display them on the Moonly website for a specific collection. It will also be displayed on the homepage so that we can provide more exposure to other projects. Remember, the Moonly website has 25k — 30k visitors every month.
Flexible, customizable Raffle system for our collection and other projects that can utilize our Staking as a Service but don’t wanna mess with Tokenomics. I talked with dozens of founders; many don’t have staking because they think it’s all about tokens.
Yes, the token is, in most cases, the best way to reward the holders. But staking can be used even if you don’t have your token. E.g., using some other “stable SPL” as a temporary reward or having no token reward but organizing weekly raffles/giveaways. And here is our Raffle app will play. Since it’s gonna be adjustable, projects will be able to do raffles based on who staked their NFT.
Sniping Bot (still, but most of the work is done. Just slowed down, for various reasons. You will know.), Portfolio Tracker (partly released, but still to improve some stuff for better UX and stats). Twitter Spaces / Twitter Giveaway bot.

Moonly weekly progress update #49 - Secret thing coming out soon
We are secretly working on something. You probably will think you know what is about, but you don’t. It’s different, real, and valuable. It’s gonna help Moonly, because …
Anyway, let me get back to work. Writing and designing always make me feel good. I feel better that I expressed myself. Remember, we are here long term, we like to build, that is our passion. We will get better, at whatever we are missing out.
We are not perfect, and will not be, but will give our best to provide value for everyone.

Regarding the upcoming mints, everyone is wondering two things:
Moonly weekly progress update #50 - Getting closer to a Sniper tool
The working version of Sniper is there. But it’s not ready for production, specifically because we need to finish up with some important stuff so we can move forward!
Basically, it is on the staging server, ready to be tested and played with! Also, UI is being polished and it needs to be changed and prepared before the public release!

Moonly weekly progress update #51 - Happy birthday Moonly!
Happy birthday Moonly!
One year ago, on May 26th, we successfully crashed Magice Eden’s website and minted it out. I will never forget those moments.
This is a marathon, not a sprint. Which means we are here for long-term goals. One year passed quickly, and another will as well. Right now, at this moment, we are preparing for better days, so when they come, we will be there and ready.
Here is a short bullet list of what is next:

We are working very hard and step by step, we are bringing all the new features to completion! We are very excited about all this but we still have so many cool things planned!
We are preparing something new and very interesting for a long time. It was a secret until now! A new Moonly collection called Karamendos is on the horizon. The collection will be something very unique and special! We will announce everything very soon and start onboarding the fresh blood to this NFT project that will be the bridge between Web2 and Web3 worlds!
Application automatio.co will play a very important and big role in this project, but stay tuned, more about all this is coming soon…

Moonly weekly progress update #53 - Upgraded Holder Verification Bot
We just deployed new changes for our HVB (holder verification bot). We added some cool stuff that I am sure other tools don’t have it. We might break something, but I think we are fine. The update is a bit detailed and maybe technical, but still worth sharing it.
When we add moderators roles to manage HVB, we gonna make a simple landing page (website) and start marketing it.
