WOM Protocol Development Update: Q1-Q3 2022

As we watch the season pull up its own stakes, we acknowledge that we have not published a development update the entire year! As is our habit, we have been completely immersed in our product development to bring the next generation of Web3 Martech solutions to you. We are in constant communication with our users, creators, customers, and the rest of our community as we continue to develop and refine our products.

This year has seen numerous updates, changes, and new products, in addition to other other project and company milestones and events. Among the non-dev milestones is the listing of the WOM Token on the MEXC Global exchange and the first edition of SUPERVERSE, the largest consumer-oriented Web3 summit connecting creators, entrepreneurs, and artists. Seriously, if you haven’t seen SUPERVERSE yet, check out the Dubai event and stay tuned for future editions!

The BULLZ Campaign Manager + Influencer Collaborations

The biggest product launch in this edition of the Development Update is the BULLZ Campaign Manager with the related creator Collaboration feature launched in the BULLZ app.

With the BULLZ Campaign Manager, Web3 brands can collaborate with creators and influencers to create content, spur excitement, and boost awareness of their brands. Brands create Collaborations, define the parameters, and push the Collaboration live. Creators are notified in the BULLZ app and can choose to participate in the Collaboration, earning WOM Tokens for creating videos and posting them in the BULLZ app, as well as on their social media accounts.

Collaborations and the BULLZ Campaign Manager are the latest addition to the Web3 MarTech suite of products offered by the WOM Protocol.

Telegram and Discord Bots

Another exciting user-facing development is the launch of our Telegram and Discord bots. These bots give brands the ability to enable their communities in Discord and Telegram to upload recommendations to BULLZ directly from Discord and Telegram, without ever leaving the apps.

These recommendations are authenticated and appear in the BULLZ app feed, as well as the WOM Campaign Manager for brands to use on their websites and properties. And of course the creators earn WOM Tokens for their recommendations.

Changelog

In addition to developing the BULLZ Campaign Manager and related Collaboration features in the BULLZ app, development on the NFT offering also continues. The NFT project, formerly called YAAAS, has continued to grow in scope to become a unique social collaboration and experience platform that will now be launched inside the BULLZ app to further solidify BULLZ as the go-to platform for everything crypto.

Alongside these large developments, we were continually updating, refining, and adding features to the other products in the WOM Protocol library, as well as tightening security, increasing efficiency, and otherwise improving the entire ecosystem. Test coverage increased by 80% across all the projects for backend, frontend and web projects as well.

Now let’s take a closer look at the changelog so far this year. The changelog is divided into three sections:
