Introduction

Property Card Enhancements

  • Property cards now display the owners' information, specifically when the owner has an ENS (Ethereum Name Service) avatar. If you own land on Fabrica, make sure you setup your ENS domain with an avatar! This small but significant improvement allows land collectors to build their profiles and engage with other land owners. It's a first step toward creating a more social experience within our platform.

Improved Performance

  • We have refactored the architecture of our application to optimize its performance. As a result, the app is now significantly faster, providing you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience. This refactoring involved making better use of cache, which has led to reduced loading times and improved responsiveness.

  • This optimization process is an ongoing effort, as we strive to accommodate a larger audience on our platform. We are committed to ensuring that every user continues to have a fast and seamless experience.

Domain Update

  • We have migrated the Fabrica dApp to the domain https://app.fabrica.land while contextually phasing out the old legacy application that was still using the previous domain.

We hope you enjoy these updates and find them valuable. We are continuously working to enhance your experience on our platform, and we appreciate your ongoing support. Stay tuned for more exciting features and improvements in future releases.

Overview

We are excited to announce the release of a new dashboard on Dune Analytics for the Fabrica protocol. This update offers users a comprehensive overview of the properties on our platform, their geographical distribution, statistics about property owners, and insights into the marketplace. The dashboard will continue to evolve over time as we add new charts and tables to provide even more valuable information.

Why this update?

Our aim with this update is to enhance transparency and improve user experience by providing easy access to important data. By offering a centralized location for key metrics and analytics, users can make more informed decisions regarding property investments on the Fabrica protocol.

What's new?

The new stats on the dashboard are based on our latest smart contract, which was released a few weeks ago. These stats give users an up-to-date picture of the Fabrica ecosystem, including details about property ownership and geographical distribution. It is important to note that these statistics do not provide any context on our historical transactions conducted using legacy smart contracts.

What's next?

As we continue to gather valuable feedback from our users, we plan to expand the dashboard further by adding new charts and tables in future updates. This will enable us to offer even more comprehensive insights into the Fabrica protocol, empowering users with data-driven decision-making capabilities.

To explore our new dashboard and gain access to these insightful metrics, please visit https://dune.com/fabrica/dashboard. We hope this update enhances your experience on the Fabrica platform and helps you make informed investment decisions.

Why the Change?

In this release, our main focus has been on expanding our services to more states, allowing us to cater to a wider range of requirements. As we continue to grow, it is crucial for us to revamp our backend system to support the diverse needs and regulations of each state. Our goal is to ensure a seamless user experience during the on-ramp process, making it as easy as always for property owners to get started with our platform.

What Has Changed?

From a user perspective, the on-ramp process remains straightforward. By simply clicking on "on-ramp" and entering the address or APN of their property, users can initiate the process. However, behind the scenes, we have made significant improvements. We have developed a robust rule and template system that efficiently collects all necessary information about each property from various sources. This includes generating legal documents that require notarization, filling in location-specific administrative forms, gathering signatures from the property owner (on-ramper), and ultimately recording the deed and filing all relevant forms at the local jurisdiction.

During this release, we have specifically enhanced our ability to gather data from different sources and generate documents with various barcodes. Furthermore, we now have the capability to refer to past deeds and include county-specific data in our processes. These enhancements were driven by the requirements identified while on-ramping our first property in New York State. We are excited about how flexible and scalable our infrastructure has proven to be in adapting to these specific needs.

Trust Agreement Update

Alongside our expansion efforts, we are pleased to announce an update to our Trust Agreement. The new version (available at this link) includes important language related to UCC Article 8. This addition now enables the use of our NFTs as collateral, offering protection for lenders in case of defaults. It also opens up new financial opportunities and possibilities for leveraging properties on Fabrica.

What Happens Now?

With the revamped backend system and expanded state coverage, users can expect a streamlined on-ramp process that takes care of all necessary documentation and administrative tasks. The enhancements made during this release ensure that we are well-equipped to handle the diverse requirements of different states, making it easier than ever for property owners to join our platform.

Moreover, the updated Trust Agreement allows for greater financial flexibility and potential investment opportunities. By including specific language related to UCC Article 8, we have provided a secure framework for using our NFTs as collateral. This not only safeguards lenders but also paves the way for novel financial use cases tied to Fabrica NFTs.

We are excited about these changes and look forward to continuing our mission of revolutionizing property ownership through blockchain technology. Stay tuned for more updates and further expansion into new territories!

Web App Protocol +1

Features:

  • Automated Picture Generation: With the latest release, we have implemented AI technology to automatically generate four pictures that provide users with an idea of what a property looks like. By utilizing the actual location of the property, our AI algorithms analyze geographical features, vegetation, and orography to render photorealistic visualizations. This feature significantly speeds up the process of on-ramping a property and enables users to create marketing material for selling it. Users still have the flexibility to edit descriptions and upload actual pictures and videos for a more accurate representation.

  • Enhanced App Layout: We have revamped the layout of the property page to give greater prominence to pictures. Now, images appear at the top of the page alongside a flyover view of the property. This new layout provides a visually appealing and immersive experience for potential buyers. We have also removed completely the side menu, to allow for a richer and more immersive experience, giving more room to the content and streamlining navigation.

  • Improved International Support: While direct on-ramping of properties from abroad is not yet supported within our application, we have made significant strides in enhancing our infrastructure and protocol for international properties. This update ensures that key components are in place to seamlessly integrate international properties in the future.

Web App API +2
18 August 2023

Overview

This release introduces several important updates and improvements to enhance the functionality and user experience of our platform. We have added an external burner app for emergency situations, updated our documentation with the latest APIs, and improved the generation of NFT pictures for better error handling.

New Features

  • External Burner App: We have released of our new external burner tool, named Burner and available at the address https://burner.fabrica.land. This app serves as an "emergency hatch" feature, providing users with a convenient way to burn their Fabrica tokens and off-ramp their properties from any version of our protocol. The Burner app has been designed to operate independently from our main app's infrastructure, ensuring its reliability even in critical situations.

Enhancements

  • Updated Documentation: In this release, we have made significant updates to our documentation available at https://docs.fabrica.land. The documentation now includes the latest APIs for easy reference. Users can explore the updated documentation to gain a comprehensive understanding of our platform's capabilities and seamlessly integrate it into their workflows.

  • Improved NFT Picture Generation: We have implemented enhancements in the generation of NFT pictures within our platform. Specifically the media server is able to handle correctly poorly formed NFTs, various errors as well as removed properties / burned tokens. This improvement enhances the overall visual experience and reliability for users while interacting with NFTs on our platform, marketplaces and other web3 applications.

What's Next?

With these updates in place, we aim to provide a more robust and seamless experience for all Fabrica users. The introduction of the external burner app empowers users with greater control over their tokens, while the improved documentation aids developers in integrating Fabrica seamlessly into their applications. Going forward, we will continue listening to user feedback and actively work towards further enhancing our platform's features and usability.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and improvements in upcoming releases!
