As we look into the future, for all of the reasons listed above, we should be very optimistic, for the first time in a couple of years. The market is warming up, and indicators are for an even brighter 2024 (with some corrections along the way). Polkadot has had its challenges, and its decentralized nature and drive have a few issues, but it also looks stronger than at any point in the last 2 years. The ecosystem (including us) will have to work a lot on Open Governance, adjust to the decentralized management of everything in the ecosystem, and the biggest of all - to the new paradigm that Agile Coretime will bring. All these issues (and others) will present challenges to everyone involved in the short term, but those who overcome them well will be in an even better position. We will work on that diligently in 2024.
When it comes to what to expect from Unique and our team in 2024 - we will be announcing a number of plans during January on this topic. Our overall goals are to be a solidly top 10 Polkadot parachain or better in all major metrics, and to continue to lead its NFT ecosystem into a time of high growth.
Wish you all happy holidays and a very successful 2024!
Alexander Mitrovich
CEO Unique Network

Hello fellow Uniques!
At the end of 2022 we were proud of how much we've built that year. Indeed, in that year Unique led the Polkadot ecosystem in building out the tech stack for NFTs.
This year was to be about finding the product/market fit. Did we find it? No, we did not. 2023 was a very difficult year, (hopefully) the end of the bear market when crypto winter is at its harshest and barely any real action happens. Death valley has taken many projects, but not us. So, if I were to highlight the biggest achievement for 2023 it would be the year when we survived the hardest period for a startup.
Proof of this is that in the second half of the year we started slowly to grow. Step by step, in modest numbers, but everywhere. We were the 14th parachain to launch on the Polkadot relay chain, and that serves as a benchmark for us to understand how we're doing. By the end of 2023, we were (data for November, latest month available):
1) Number 12 in monthly transactions numbers
2) Number 7 in the number of unique addresses
3) Number 5 in the number of active addresses
As the conclusion for the year - we have made significantly higher progress then the average parachain in main metrics we work on - building real traction. Unique now has 257.9KNFTs and 395 collections. This puts us in a great position for beating the market in the growth phase, which we believe will be in 2024. Our tech stack is ready for mass adoption. If on other chains projects need months of time and tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars, all they need on Unique is days (or hours) and a few thousand dollars. To prove this we are launching a new program that will be announced shortly.
Our tech is also more advanced than anything out there. Our Nesting and related tech allow for customization of NFTs not only on custom bases prior to the minting, but on existing collections and NFTs, with unmatched flexibility for creators and users. Our core infrastructure is the most powerful out there - look for proof of that in the most obvious terms very soon. We have built and piloted the NFT PoaP/Community building/Loyalty program solution that starts to attract attention and customers, and we're fairly optimistic in this direction, especially for Music and Entertainment verticals.
In addition to the above, in 2023 we were heavily engaged in leading the overall Polkadot NFT ecosystem. We built the NFT XCM, a core functionality for the whole ecosystem, releasing its proof of concept and the first ever NFT XCM transfer a few days ago. Expanding on that, we initiated a Polkadot NFT Collective - an idea to get together all NFT parachains and projects to a united front, a very hard task given how we are all competing for attention and users. The way we see it - if the pie grows for all, all will have a bigger piece, and the slice each gets is secondary. We joined and are strongly supporting the Polkadot Gaming Alliance. A long list of ideas is in the works for 2024.
Last, but not least, financially we are still in good shape, able to continue our work for years to come without resorting to further investment rounds. We currently have no plans to sell more Unique tokens, and our Treasury usage of them is close to zero. These conditions will change only after our token is on the firm ground and has delivered value for our existing token holders.
