Hello, community!
We've worked hard behind the scenes at 3Speak and other SPK Network dapps to improve the user experience. Many updates and improvements are happening beneath the surface to ensure our apps evolve and provide the best possible experience for you.
We've got an exciting roadmap ahead! In the coming weeks, we'll be making significant improvements to our mobile, web, and desktop apps, including better performance through refactoring.
We're also integrating Acela Core's off-chain and on-chain indexer to enhance the user experience. Our sign-up and login system will be upgraded for smoother onboarding, and we're adding ceramic off-chain posting and MetaMask posting for added convenience. Plus, we're introducing a new feature that allows users to earn rewards for storing content as part of our commitment to rewarding content creators.
That's not all. We're also launching the SPK Network's test net, proof of access storage rewards, and enabling video capabilities across multiple Hive dapps. So stay tuned for all the exciting updates coming your way.
Here's a glimpse into the progress made in a typical week:
