WOM Protocol Development Update: Q4 2022
With the year slowly coming to a close we’ve spent the final months moving the needle ever closer towards our goal — bringing user-generated-marketing to brands and web3 projects. To that effect we have been busy adding to and refining our suite of MarTech products that enable easy collaborations between creators and brands.
This has been complemented by business development efforts to onboard strategic partnerships and brands into the ecosystem, with seven new strategic, integration and marketing partnerships established over the past few months, including IDO platform, Enjinstarter, MixPay and Mixin Network, and DOEX Exchange.
BULLZ Web App
BULLZ hit a major milestone in December with the release of the web version of the platform. This scaling of our multi-platform strategy enables BULLZ to keep increasing web3 accessibility for content creators, by providing the choice to create and share content on any device. The aim is to keep refining our toolkits targeted at the creator economy to foster easy collaboration — and exposure — for web3 projects.
MixPay Integration
In November WOM announced a partnership with MixPay, a decentralized web3 cross-chain payment protocol built on the Mixin Network. This partnership has since enabled the integration of MixPay into multiple products across all wallets, including the WOM Authenticator, BULLZ Campaign Manager and BULLZ Web App.
Changelog
In addition to releasing the BULLZ Web App and integrating with MixPay across our library of products, we also released the third iteration of our playlist on both YEAY and BULLZ. Version 3 of our playlist has been enhanced with a better, smarter algorithm that learns and adapts to user preferences.
Aside from the more significant updates, we have continued updating, refining, and adding features to the other products across the WOM ecosystem, including support in further languages, improving the flows for account creation and deletion, and adding notifications toggles for controlling notifications.
