Our gratitude goes to the Nexa community for their efforts in participating and improving the platform. The community event, followed by the latest update to NiftyArt, brings exactly that: a sweeping backend overhaul centered on a new PostgreSQL-powered database, along with a range of front-end fixes, performance enhancements, and important guidance for users managing NFTs on the platform.
Most critically, this update introduces a new database schema, which means all existing NFTs must be re-listed.
