v0.5.0

The biggest overhaul yet to the Holochain as we work to update how things look and feel. We are leaning into more of the Holochain feeling, basically a blockchain feel for the galaxy, so you will see various updates across the site to fit that intention.

Goals

• Auction House is feature complete
• Auction House Transactions logs are feature complete
• Updated and refreshed UI
• First iteration of Nodes, more to come on this.

A look ahead

We are all about being open and transparent. We will never blacklist you from the site, unless you try to hack shit, but other than that you're free to do what you want to do. We trust in in the Chain Trust Rating to have users make their minds up about what to do and not to do.

We are planning to build an Open API that will allow anyone to reach into the market, into their nodes, and our transaction chain and get back data. This is to drive an open and fair market and an inter-connected galaxy. We do not plan nor have any intention of gatekeeping anything.

Combine Integrations

This one is tricky because we have to make sure we don't over do it to the point where it's sketchy, but also do it enough to be valuable. Our first step is automated make over and credit transfers and we will plan more as the Nodes are incorporated. If you have ideas about what type of integrations you'd like to see with the combine, please DM marc or lucy with those ideas.

Nodes

We’ve completed the transition from Orgs to Nodes across the Holochain, including core naming, routes, and permissions for a cleaner and more lore-consistent experience. You’ll now see Node-first paths like /n/… and updated terminology throughout the app. We also refreshed key Node UI surfaces, including a more focused create flow and a redesigned Node overview page to improve clarity, readiness signals, and day-to-day management actions. This is part of our staged rollout, and we’ll continue tightening permissions and access behavior as we expand full Node functionality.

Transactions Windows

We have added the ability to have pop-out transaction windows so you can keep what you want visible while you look around.

There are many other update around the app, but this is just the start!
