We publish this log whenever a customer-visible feature or fix lands. It is a product record, not an investment promise.

Latest published changes

  1. Published changes

    Hosted conferences and city activity

    • AddedConference creators can join directly as Host and speaker after an explicit microphone check. Microphones stay off until locally enabled; listeners have playback recovery without a microphone prompt.
    • AddedConference halls now seat up to 100 actual participants, with speakers facing the audience and optional seat or podium views. Capacity remains 100 per city, 100 across the server and eight speakers; device and load qualification remain separate.
    • AddedA homepage live-conference strip and city tooltips show fresh public activity, verified curator attribution where available, and separately labelled optional visitor connections and 5–15 simulated residents. The anonymous count is off by default and shares no wallet or position.
    • ImprovedEvery city has a distinct visual Passport stamp. Existing confirmed visits, Heritage and Legacy records, balances, original 2D artwork, RPC configuration, dual-provider checks and formal phase status are unchanged.
  2. Published changes

    Compact city resident controls

    • ImprovedA compact City residents tally in the 3D toolbar replaces the large floating resident notice. It counts simulated residents and connected visitor figures shown in the current local scene; it is not a real-user total.
    • ImprovedSimulation details remain available inside the existing collapsed controls and privacy panel, while actual connected visitors stay labelled separately. Exterior scenes retain their existing 5–15 simulated residents and motion. Visitor privacy, voice participation, RPC settings and dual-provider checks are unchanged.

    Current city Drops and resident density

    • ImprovedThe home City sidebar now excludes ended and minted-out Drops, orders live Drops by newest actual mint start and upcoming Drops by nearest start, and retains unconfirmed and paused labels. Valid source observation times appear in UTC, separate from the MS review date. Returning to World or resuming the page refreshes the existing local timeline clock without adding network polling.
    • ImprovedSupported fictional 3D City exteriors now contain 5–15 independently moving simulated residents, with the simulation disclosure retained in the controls. These figures remain local scenery; real visitor and voice participant counts are unchanged. Existing 2D artwork, public City content, RPC settings, dual-provider checks, balances and formal phase decisions are unchanged.

    Independent city residents

    • ImprovedOverhead plaques have been removed from city residents. Each exterior keeps 3–10 simulated residents who walk independently along safe local routes, with varied speeds, pauses, looking directions and destinations.
    • ImprovedThe existing controls continue to disclose that residents are simulated local scenery. They do not count as real visitors or voice conference participants. Existing 2D artwork, public City content, conference controls, RPC settings, dual-provider checks and formal phase decisions are unchanged.

    City residents and themed gardens

    • ImprovedNPC residents are now spread across all 31 supported fictional 3D Cities, with safe walking routes visible from the entrance and additional routes in the wider district. Each exterior retains 3–10 distinct, labelled NPCs who walk, pause and look around. They are local scenery, separate from real visitors and conference attendance.
    • ImprovedLicensed free benches, trees and courtyard objects now use city-themed garden compositions. Foreground seating replaces primitive furniture within existing blocked garden footprints, keeping walking paths, doors and media surfaces clear. Existing 2D artwork, public City content, conference controls, RPC settings and dual-provider checks are unchanged.

    City conference audio

    • AddedOptional conference salons are available in supported 3D Cities. Joining as a listener, requesting a speaking turn and enabling a microphone are separate explicit actions. Only an authorized speaker can start audio capture. Leaving the page stops local audio and returns a restored page to the preview. Availability depends on the conference service.
    • ImprovedMicrophone eligibility is limited to City documents; entering or leaving a City loads a new document. Camera capture, recording and automatic audio rejoining are unavailable. Visitor visibility remains off by default. Physical-phone and capacity acceptance remain separate; formal phases and Gate A are unchanged.
    • AddedAll 31 fictional 3D districts now include a larger walkable garden quarter, with free street furniture, trees and courtyard objects. Each exterior has 3–10 distinct, labelled NPC residents who walk, pause and look around. NPCs are local scenery and do not count as real visitors or conference participants. Existing 2D artwork and public City content are preserved.
  3. Published changes

    Wallet selection refresh

    • FixedWallet selection now updates when a browser wallet becomes available after the picker opens, including from the Passport card. Choose the wallet to continue with the existing account approval and free SIWE sign-in steps.
  4. Published changes

    MS research and 3D cities

    • AddedDrop evidence dossiers and numeric Mintropolis Scores (MS) are available where published. Numeric publication requires sufficient current evidence, a defined scope and independent review; held, stale or incomplete reviews do not display a score. MS does not guarantee safety, delivery or investment returns.
    • AddedA dismissible introduction links to MS research, the Drop catalog and existing 3D Cities. It appears once per browser when local storage is available and is marked seen on first display. City pages retain explicit entry to optional fictional 3D exploration and a return to 2D.

    Heritage and Legacy discovery

    • AddedFollowing testnet validation, Heritage and Legacy discovery is available on the public site: four Cosmic Meta collection identities and a dated, text-only Pixel Art #570 reference. Signed-in members can explicitly save five private discovery acknowledgements and one Legacy Explorer achievement. These actions award 0 Atlas Points and do not establish reading or ownership or create mint, allowlist, allocation or other rights.
    • AddedPassport separates a historical Heritage Stamp from the latest ownership observation. Recording a stamp requires at least 1 NFT across the four fixed Ethereum collections in the signed wallet; the Embassy threshold remains 5. Ownership checks still require both the existing chain policy and a reviewed independent provider pair; they remain unavailable if either is missing. Publication on the public site does not activate providers or claim successful live ownership verification. No RPC configuration, 2D City artwork, balances, ordinary quests, Season counters or formal phase decisions change.
  5. Published changes

    Passport wallet connection

    • FixedThe Connect wallet button inside the Passport card now opens the same wallet selection and sign-in flow as the header button after testnet validation. The existing wallet approval and free SIWE sign-in steps are unchanged. This correction does not change balances, 2D City artwork, RPC settings or dual-provider checks.

    Referral reward policy correction

    • FixedThis release ends new referral signup point awards and stops new referral attribution capture on the public site after testnet validation. Previously earned points, historical totals and existing cosmetics are unchanged. Passport wording now describes referral history without promising new points. Ordinary sign-in, non-referral quests, RPC settings, dual-provider checks and formal roadmap phases are unchanged.

    Roadmap delivery status

    • ImprovedThe roadmap now separates published 2D and optional 3D City discovery, full-screen controls and collection guides from validation still in progress and decisions still required. Counts describe dated release snapshots, not live coverage or a completion percentage. Formal phases, the Season 0 decision record and Gate A remain unchanged. This update does not launch a mint or enable Building NFTs, rights or rewards. Existing 2D artwork, RPC settings and dual-provider checks are unchanged.
