Big news - last week we had our most recent development update, having done several improvements on our platform and website! But let’s not waste any more time and do a deep dive into the main events of last week.
Let’s talk upgrades!
The HYVE Platform, our main product, has undergone significant improvements. We've streamlined the process for editing user profiles and introduced User Notifications, keeping you updated on responses to your listings. We've also added a Banner Carousel on the homepage, spotlighting top positions within Web3 - for those keen on a career change, this is your chance.
Operationally, we've refined the Exchange Rate for listings for better accuracy against FIAT currencies, addressed duplicate job listings, and enhanced package comparisons in Offers. Furthermore, the mobile version of the HYVE Platform has been enhanced for better usability and simplicity.
What are some of the features you would like to see on the platform? HYVE is considering doing a user survey, in order to get the community pulse on the platform. Before we run the survey, let’s start a conversation on X and see how we can improve!
Crypto adoption thrives in Central and Southern Asia
According to an upcoming report from Chainalysis, the leading crypto research company, has shown that crypto adoption is growing in Central and Southern Asia, as well as Oceania. While the full report will be released in October, a conclusion is clear: the region's enthusiasm is not merely based on speculative investment.
Instead, it stems from a genuine need for alternative financial systems in areas that have been underserved by traditional banking. The rise of crypto is a testament to its potential in providing financial inclusivity.
