Franklin X Weekly Update - March 14, 2025

Company Update

Another exciting week at Franklin X!

We're keeping the momentum going with a strong focus on product development, user experience, and community engagement.

We are laser-focused on increasing retention, conversion, revenue and website visits.

This weekly update keeps us sharp and healthy in delivery velocity.

Airdrop Update: We've made significant progress on the $FRNX airdrop to $DTF holders. We discovered a minor error in the initial data list, so we've postponed the airdrop slightly to ensure 100% accuracy. A new list is being generated, and we'll be conducting thorough testing before proceeding. We will proceed with the airdrop ASAP (next days).

Transparency Commitment: As always, we're committed to full transparency. We'll continue to share our progress, challenges, and key decisions with you.

Product Update

This week, the product team achieved the following:

New design

Our collaboration with Airfoil Studio has been incredibly productive!

We've finalized the design system, including colors and a v1 MVP for how our LP DeFi vaults and "My Account" page will look.

The design emphasizes showcasing the impact and profitability of Franklin X, shifting the focus from the underlying AI technology to the user's potential gains.

Referral Program

We're nearing the finish line with our referral program!

The core functionality is in place, and we're working on the final backend updates to track user swaps and ensure accurate reward distribution.

Expect this to go live soon!

Refactor

We've implemented a major refactoring of our token data handling, resulting in cleaner code, improved type safety, and better reusability.

This includes new custom hooks (useEscrowData, useTokenOverview) and updated UI components for displaying token and portfolio information.

Finally, this allowed us to ship a better design for our upcoming portfolio view:

Liquidate portfolio

View staked FRNX

and more!

Other improvements:

Updated the AI prompt to generate shorter, more concise responses.

Removed the "gigabrain" model (Deepseek R1) for improved AI behavior.

A proactive monitoring system is being developed to alert us of any production server issues.

LP Optimizer: We'll be adjusting the LP optimizer to better reflect a 1-3 day investment horizon, using a triple barrier stop:

Take Profit
Time Out (max 3 days)
Stop Loss

In the next weeks:

Finalize and launch the $FRNX airdrop.

Launch the referral program.

Continue refining the UI/UX based on the new Airfoil designs.

Marketing Update

Continued Focus: We're continuing to optimize for website traffic, user retention, and conversion rates.

Blog Post: We reached out to create a blog post with a valuable backlink.

Video Stream: MemeIndexer is planning a video stream (details to follow).

We are pushing live with referral links!
