Calaxy v1.7, potentially Calaxy’s biggest feature release to date, introduces a number of performance upgrades, UX refinements, highly-anticipated support for the Solana network, and lastly, ‘Worlds’ – the group app for your favorite group chat. 

‍

Your World, Your Calaxy

As the name suggests, Worlds are sub-communities that users can create within the Calaxy verse. Worlds offer various customization options like themes and colors in addition to both familiar (ie. subscriptions 🤑💰) and new-age on-chain (ie. non-fungible / fungible token gating 🔒) access controls. 

Setting one takes less than 2 min and the best part? Each World is it’s own installable ‘mini-app’ via a unique URL link – like magic 🦄🪄! For ultimate customizability, Worlds will also support URL forwarding so users can push their communities to a domain name of their choice. Say goodbye to censorship and shadowbanning and hello to freedom and control 🙌💪

Whether it’s for a content creator or starving artist, memecoin community, small business, college sorority, or the group chat with the fellas, Worlds allows us to finally break out the death grasp of legacy social’s algorithm. It’s time we take the conversation elsewhere. It’s time for SocialFi. 

Solana Support Now LIVE! 📱

V1.7 also introduces support for the Solana network in Calaxy Wallet. Below explains everything you need to know about Calaxy going live on Solana 😝: 

1. Users can now custody SOL, USDC(SOL), and other SOL-network assets in Calaxy Wallet
2. Users can now pay for experiences within the Calaxy-verse with USDC(SOL) (SOL coming soon 👀)
3. Users can now mint Solana-based NFTs and collectibles via Calaxy NFT minter
4. Users can utilize all on-chain ‘Social Wallet’ features like key-less crypto transactions via DM’, tipping, NFT pfps, token gated communities + experiences, and more 🔥

Performance Improvements

Our product team has been diligently focused on making the wallet – something that’s typically been the biggest, most intimidating deterrent to people starting their crypto journey – a place of ultimate comfort and convenience. 

Calaxy was founded in 2020 with the mission of onboarding crypto’s next 100M users. And nearly 5 yrs later, that mission couldn’t be more relevant given the strides our industry has made in the last year. Today Calaxy introduced the democratized web to Solana. Tomorrow, it’s everyone else (whether they care about crypto or not).
