In face of the recent downturn in crypto markets, the past two months have seen events at HYVE evolve at a more accelerated pace than ever before. The downturn hasn’t slowed us down, on the contrary - we are delivering surprises for our users at an ever faster pace than before. Because we know that there have been many updates and that you may have missed some, we’ve put together a recap of May and June to ensure you are caught up.

Offering payment flexibility
May and June have been a continuation of working towards the complete diversification of our payment options, with the focused aim of providing HYVE users with the most optimal methods for payment of tasks, jobs, and offers on the platform.
**In chronological order, we have integrated:**

$NFTD the crown jewel of the NFTrade ecosystem on ETH and BSC,
$FRM the utility token and $FRMx the governance token of Ferrum Network, on ETH and BSC,
$SOURCE the utility and governance token of the ReSource protocol on ETH and BSC,
$PUNDIX & $FX from our long term partners PundiX on ETH,
$BOO the SpookySwap governance token on Fantom and ETH,
$KCS the native token of KuCoin exchange on ETH,
$eRSDL the utility token for unFederalReserve on ETH,
$PEL the native token of the Propel platform on BSC.
Each token has brought new valuable benefits, additional exposure, and the prospect of multi-platform functionalities. By focusing on integrating multiple payment options, we provide freelancers with further freedom over instant payment options and facilitate the discovery of different communities and projects while creating partnership potential.

**HYVE App 2.0**
HYVE kicked off June with the launch of a much-anticipated V2, which is the most notable event to date. For the interested developer community, HYVE also introduced many exciting new developer tools, which are now live. The developer team worked tirelessly on:

Enabling a functional mobile and tablet platform, ensuring collaboration, regardless of devices with display resolution up to 4k,
Including job categories, reducing browsing times of listings for clients and freelancers,
Adding the total sum in USD converted underneath the token listings, enhancing traceability for freelancers unfamiliar with changing token prices,
Enhancing the profile subsection, with dashboards, previous work and a My Profile page,
Fixing several bugs and improving the website's overall performance,
Expanding task cards on viewports and creating new zoom options,
Creating an onboarding component to facilitate the process of companies hiring on HYVE,
Overall the new HYVE came with many new improvements to explore, a massive rebranding and a freshly reshuffled ecosystem that invites our users into an intuition-led experience and on top of this, revealed HYVE Bazaar, the marketplace for creatives.
