We integrated WalletConnect into the Kaira platform. This was one of the important integrations for Kaira's upcoming mobile experience with the Kaira v2 upgrade.

Kaira now supports viewing content from all Lens apps and allows the posting of various types of content. This enhancement is key in establishing Kaira as a comprehensive 'all-in-one' social media platform, anticipating the Kaira v2 upgrade. Users can now directly engage with content from all Lens apps on Kaira's feed, create posts, initiate discussion topics, or share photos.

Throughout this year, starting with our MVP version and continuing with our Beta V1, we collected feedback from our users and data based on their behavior on the platform. Using these insights, we began building our V2, set to launch with the new year.

Kaira V2 will feature a completely new UI and UX, along with many new features, integrations, and partnerships. It's exciting to see that the timing also aligns with market sentiment, making it an opportune moment to begin public onboarding soon.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each member of our community for being an integral part of this incredible journey. Your engagement, feedback, and trust have been the driving forces behind our innovations and achievements.
