Forward’s November report arrives with a month’s worth of the latest improvements from the project moving developers and users closer to full Web3 functionality on a traditional-looking interface built for efficiency.

The month of November brought news of technical developments and upgrades, culminating in an overall improvement in the interface and experience for every Forward user, whether as smart contract developers, deployers or even end users..

Now, to the highlights of the month.

The Forward Factory is the Portal to Web3

If you’ve noticed anything different in the Forward Marketplace, it’s probably because of the Forward Factory updates we rolled out quietly during the month: So, what’s new?

• Lifetime earnings from the Marketplace: Forward developers can set up a steady, reliable income stream with every template they upload to the Forward Marketplace.

Developers are not just uploading tools for the userbase that interfaces with Web3 from the Forward Factory.

Depending on the setup, developers can earn one-time deployment fees or commissions every time a deployer uses their template in the Forward Factory. The best part? These earnings are automatically tracked and credited to the developer. No token claim; no extra steps.

Who says no to a lifetime of earnings?

• Contract, setup and go: Marketplace transfers, freelancer fees and milestone payments have become as easy as setting up contract rules, connecting to the Forward UI, and deploying the Escrow Template.

That’s the Web3 experience with Forward — speed, simplicity and chain-ready builds in minutes on an improved UI and optimized APIs for dragging, dropping and deploying dApp templates.

• Upgraded experience for developers: Building and uploading smart contracts and dApp templates to the Forward Marketplace has become the ultimate benchmark for Web3 simplicity and efficiency.

Developers no longer have to build their own backend. Forward’s API resolves all the extra steps involved in linking the backend code to the frontend and admin panel of developers’ smart contracts — automatically.

No-code, low-code or full-code, the Forward Factory meets developers right where they are, allowing them to build their templates their own way.

The simplified template flows, faster admin panel actions, and cleaner UI for all come together to mean developers spend less time clicking, focusing their effort on building out their templates and setting up new tools for the Marketplace.

Forward Factory v4 continues to deliver on the efficiency and usability goals that its industry-first no-code foundations were designed for.

Whether it is new templates currently being developed for the Forward Marketplace or wallet integrations to facilitate seamless monetization opportunities for developers, the possibilities are endless, and they are available for all Forwardians.

The Forward Factory continues to excel at bridging the technical divide between the typical Web3 experience and the everyday internet user.

At the same time, there’s always room for improvement, and we’re constantly working on every avenue to gain every marginal advantage in efficiency and usability.

That was Forward’s July, but let’s run a full breakdown now that you’re here.

A More Personalized Forward Marketplace

The Forward Factory was a no-brainer because it broke down the barriers that made Web3 an exclusive club for lifelong techies. We made smart contract deployment and blockchain operations as seamless as using a mobile or web app.

In that same vein, we took big steps to make the Forward Marketplace more personalized to the user, whether as a developer, deployer or end user.

• Forwardians can do so much more in terms of template presentation now. Custom titles, descriptions, tutorials, audit docs — template developers can now communicate and connect to potential deployers scrolling through the Marketplace for the template that aligns with their Web3 their visions.
• The upgraded Forward Factory is even more adaptable and responsive to developers’ styles, supporting no-code, low-code, upload-code and full-code styles.

In short, the Forward Factory lets you build your way, every step of the way. But it gets better because we now have a full video demo on how to get started in the Forward Marketplace on our YouTube page.

We rolled up our sleeves in July, and we’ll continue to add bits to make the Forward Factory your one-stop shop to develop and deploy your Web3 vision.

Anyone can innovate, ideate, and deploy their Web3 visions within minutes from the Forward marketplace. All it would take is a few clicks, a little dragging, and some light dropping on an interface that is indistinguishable from your typical web browser.

That is the Forward vision, but it can always get better, and that’s what we achieved in May. The Forward Factory got boosts in speed, efficiency, intuitiveness and seamlessness.

Now, to how we did it, Forwardians.

The New Standard in Web3 Efficiency

The focus in May was on making sure that everyone interacting with Web3 through the Forward Marketplace is getting paid, and we certainly delivered in that department.

• The Escrow Template is the perfect setup for users looking for automatic, transparent, and permissionless solutions for their marketplace needs, service payments arrangements, or even milestone-based deals — all executed by automatic smart contracts.

In typical Forward fashion, it’ll only take a few steps to set up the frontend and admin panels for your escrow.

As the contract deployer, you can insert the wallet and token addresses during deployment. You can use the admin panel to initialize the escrow by depositing funds and setting a duration.

The frontend is used to track the escrow, including funds released, duration, transaction history, total funds in escrow, and other parameters agreed between the template deployer and escrow end-user.

It’s that easy!

• We have good news for the template developers, who provide the building blocks for the Forward Marketplace. We’ve made earning lifetime income as seamless as earning royalties on your IP.

Simply define the fee parameters (amount, fee structure, etc) on the templates you create and upload to the Marketplace, and get paid every time someone deploys your template — for perpetuity.

Everything happens on the blockchain — deployment counts, ratings, etc. So, no one can tamper with your earnings or reputation in the Forward Marketplace.

Some of the cool stuff our development team is working on is immediately apparent when you check out the Forward Marketplace, and we can’t wait for you to get that “Ah-ah!” moment on your next visit.

Many Forwardians have already noticed comprehensive interface improvements and overall experience upgrades in the Forward Marketplace.

These upgrades are the result of the incremental back-end progress and solid groundwork we laid in April, which we expect to continue to roll out throughout the month of May.

In the meantime, let’s take a peek behind the curtain of the developmental progress from the Forward Factory.

Building Your Web3 Vision from the Forward Factory

The Forward experience stands out because it condenses the steps between visualizing and fully deploying Web3 solutions into simple processes for users at every level of technicality.

• Function mapping in the Forward Factory has been upgraded so that developers can easily and seamlessly turn their smart contract inputs into drag-and-drop blocks.

Any Forward user can now use the plug-and-play UI elements from the no-code builder to reach full Web3 functionality without any limitations — No programming experience, no problem.

• Forward APIs are now at full capacity, unlocking customization options for low-code, full-code and upload-code builds at both front-end and admin panel levels.
• The development team has been pushing upgrades for the templates in the Forward Marketplace throughout the month, optimizing function and execution.
• The Forward wallet and developer monetization rollouts are closer to full deployment.

That’s good news for the Forward community in terms of making the Forward experience more rewarding and profitable across every level — for developers, deployers and end-users.

April was a great time for Forward, and now, we’re rolling into May with solid momentum and confidence from the measurable improvements we pushed in the last month.

The first quarter of 2025 has been about revitalizing the magic of the Forward Factory, and we’ve hunkered down on crossing off the items on our to-do list.

So far, the year has been a combination of technical developments and aesthetic upgrades cumulating into back-end fixes and front-end optimizations that give us the intuitive, comprehensive Forward experience that keeps us coming back for more Web3 magic.

Our focus is on April already, but let’s spare a quick second to run through the biggest updates we shared between January and March.

The Forward Factory is the Portal to Web3

In case you missed any of the Forward Factory updates we shared during the quarter:

• Frontend and admin template uploads: This upgrade allows developers to upload custom-built frontend and admin panel templates for their dApps. Developers can integrate Forward APIs into pre-built frontend or admin panel code, with support for React, Angular, Vue, and JavaScript frameworks.
• Map tags: This optimization and efficiency upgrade automatically inputs the function names from developers’ smart contracts. Developers can still manually input, customize, or make corrections to tags whenever they want.
• Template customization options: Forward Factory users now have more opportunities to customize templates in the Marketplace, turning them into personalized dApps that executive their Web3 visions.
• User info page: The interface has been redesigned and optimized to make users’ Web3 experiences smooth and seamless.
• Template creation process: Template reviewers can now unpublish templates and revert to the “In Review” stage for further edits. Developers can also cancel their pending reviews to make changes before re-uploading them for review.
• Custom name: Developers can add custom names for their templates directly from the “Publish to Marketplace” page. It allows developers to distinguish their templates and connect to their target audience from the Marketplace.
• Template documentation and attachments: When publishing to the Forward Marketplace, developers can also attach deployment tutorials and audit reports to gain deployers’ confidence.

Clear documentation and security proof give Marketplace users confidence about the reliability of developers’ work, which ultimately leads to more earnings and reputational boosts.

We’re already on pace for a strong second quarter. Whether you want a no-code experience or prefer a full-code workflow, why don’t you visit the Marketplace to get a feel for the Forward Factory that makes Web3 work for all?

Forward continues to hum along steadily, with the month of February proving to be a better time than January. Still, we are buoyed by the assurance that our best days in 2025 are ahead of us.

Before we move forward with the opportunities in March, let’s quickly get you up to speed with a recap of February.

Web3 Runs Seamlessly in the Forward Factory

Forward developers, template deployers, and end users visit the Marketplace to bring their Web3 visions to life. That’s why we spent the month making the Forward Factory experience as seamless as possible.

• The user info page looks better and runs smoother, too.

With the redesigned, optimized interface, you no longer need to re-enter old passwords for every update.

• The template creation process just got more flexible.

Template reviewers can now unpublish templates and revert to the “In Review” stage for further edits. Developers can also cancel their pending reviews to make changes before re-uploading them for review.

Now, anyone involved in the template creation or review process can enjoy the luxury of moving forward or backward in the template creation process to ensure every dApp deployed from the Marketplace runs on templates uploaded via the new quality-controlled, user-friendly, and reliable process.

• Developers now have more options for maximum reach and visibility in the Marketplace.

Developers can now creatively represent their templates and connect to their target audience when they visit the Marketplace. It’s as simple as setting up a custom name for the templates they publish to the Marketplace directly from the “Publish to Marketplace” page.

When publishing to the Forward Marketplace, developers can also attach deployment tutorials and audit reports to gain deployers’ confidence.

Clear documentation and security proof give Marketplace users confidence about the reliability of developers’ work, which ultimately leads to direct sales, referrals, and positive user reviews.

The Forward core development team has so much more in the production pipeline — — products like the Forward wallet and upgrades, such as dev monetization and uploading full code instead of using the Factory no-code builder — based on community popular demand and the opportunities we’ve identified in the evolving Web3, AI, and blockchain spaces.

Forward has gotten off to a strong start in 2025, and it’s because we’ve continued to build on top of all the great work we did in 2024.

For us, January was about consolidating the full-stack Forward experience by adding technical upgrades on the backend to the interface optimizations on the frontend of the Forward Marketplace.

Here are the biggest updates from last month.

The Forward Factory is Intuitive and Limitless

The Forward Factory has become the one-stop shop for Web3 deployment solutions because of the symbiotic relationship between Forward developers, template deployers, and end users.

Everyone has something to look forward to with the new marketplace updates we launched this month.

• We launched the “frontend and admin template uploads” update during the month. This means developers can now upload custom-built frontend and admin panel templates for their dApps.

As a template developer, you get more opportunities to unlock your creativity because you can now link the interface and backend with the smart contracts you want to deploy — seamless and automatic.

• Last month, automation took a giant step forward in the Forward Factory. The “map tags” page automatically inputs the function names from developers’ smart contracts, optimizing time and making deployments more efficient.

Developers can still manually input, customize, or make corrections to tags whenever they want.

• The Forward Marketplace is the destination for Web3 innovators who want to stand out in their unique visions, and the new template customization options added to the Forward Factory have made it even easier to help you connect with users.

The V4 Forward Marketplace continues to evolve with the comments from our Forwardians and our observations.

Visit the Forward Factory to experience a seamless marketplace, running on a sleek interface and templates optimized to open the world of Web3 to you.

What a year!

We shot out of the gates and never looked back in 2024. Did things go according to plan the whole way? Definitely not. However, we can proudly say we stood in the batter’s box and made the best of everything the year threw our way.

We didn’t hit home runs on every pitch (nobody can), but we made sure we got on base in every inning. That’s the kind of consistency that has defined our reputation and continues to define our vision as we enter a new year in 2025.

Let’s take a moment to catch our breaths and reflect on the year.

Putting Our Best Foot $FORWARD

The balloons dropped, we got to the drawing board, and the $FORWARD token launch did not disappoint.

We were humbled by the support for our $FORWARD token launch, selling out allocations within seconds. That set us on the path to a record-setting start that led to over-subscriptions on launchpads, milestone exchange listings, and product launches.

Over-subscribed Launchpads

• ChainGPT Pad

A Year-Long Commitment to the Forward Factory Experience

We always knew that making Web3 completely non-technical and usable for the average user would not be easy. However, we signed up for this because we believe in our vision and ability to deliver on the task.

The Forward Factory evolved throughout 2024, with each iteration better than the previous. Still, our Forward Factory v4 continues to impress with each new feature and upgrade revealed.

Earlier in the year, we hosted two major events that rewarded our community for participating in our growth in 2024.

Forward Bug Bounty Campaign

• 90 Bugs resolved

Forward x ITMO Hackathon

• In collaboration with ITMO University
• 60 participants, 20 teams
• 4 Weeks
• 3 winning teams
• 7 templates
• $15,000 Prize pool

Since then, Forward Factory v4 has only gotten better:

• New templates have been added to the Marketplace, while existing ones have also received upgrades.
• A streamlined onboarding flow to make registration and logging in faster and more reliable.
• An upgraded “My Applications” page to check template information on a simple, optimized page.
• A “Preview” button to assess the details and code of every template in the Marketplace.
• An interface upgrade for the Forward Marketplace for optimum user experience and maximum efficiency.
• A serious commitment to ensuring a bug-free experience.
• Implemented an extensive review process for every Marketplace template to ensure safety and reliability.
• Our latest array inputs means you still don’t need to write a single line of code to enter the Forward Factory.
• A developer info card and help section to double-check that the templates you deploy are from developers you trust.
• You no longer have to deal with duplicate subdomains or other related errors when you deploy templates.
• More earning opportunities for the developers contributing to the Forward Marketplace.
• More flexibility and control with access to the admin panel even before users are ready to launch.

Forward’s November report is ready with all the latest information about the technical progress in our Forward Factory v4.

This month’s report is thirty days’ worth of fixing bugs and testing templates to ensure they are ready for use on all the chains that will be integrated into v4 when it launches.

Let’s get into the details now.

Re-Imagining the Forward Factory

Forward earned its WordPress for Web3 tag because of the simplicity it brings to the Web3 dApp deployment process. Also, as WordPress evolves with Web2, Forward never stops innovating to meet the fast-paced Web3 ecosystem we thrive in.

For Developers:

Developers in the Forward Factory got a lot of good news during the month, especially with the progress we’ve made with our wallet integration to help them earn seamlessly and directly from their templates.

We also made new additions to the Marketplace.

• The Forward Marketplace is set up to reward the developers contributing to the template library in Forward Factory v4.

Learn more about opportunities for developers like you in this in-depth Forward review published on Cryptopolitan, one of Web3’s leading news sites.

• Take full advantage of the new Developer Help Section to add more information to help potential deployers understand your templates better and exponentially increase the deployment stats of your templates.

For Deployers:

• Template deployers can now access the admin panel during deployment. This new function gives you more flexibility and control in modifying your templates before you launch them on Solana and any of the top EVM chains integrated into the Forward Factory.

Making the Difference with Forward

The Forward Marketplace serves various use cases for different classes of users — the template developers, deployers, and users who participate in the Web3 space through the Forward Factory interface.

We have more updates in the production line, and you can be the first to learn about the latest opportunities in the Forward Factory by following our social media channels.

Building Robust Roots in v4

Visit the Forward Marketplace, and you’ll see evidence of the hard work going on behind the scenes. So, what’s new in the Forward Factory this month?

• Array inputs: With array inputs now supported in the Forward Factory, developers have more flexibility than before while building their templates. The best part is you still don’t need to write a single line of code while in the Forward Factory.
• Know your builder: The newly introduced developer info card brings new meaning to “trust, but verify.” Security is a serious issue in blockchain, especially with the existential threats of exploits and hacks.

So, you can be sure that any templates you deploy from the Forward Marketplace are safe and secure.

• Duplicate subdomains restricted: Efficiency has gone up a notch in the Forward Marketplace with the deployment precision improvements our developers have introduced to Forward Factory v4.

You no longer have to deal with duplicate subdomains or other related errors when you deploy templates.

The Future of Forward v4

We know the importance of keeping your foot on the gas when you’re ahead. That’s why we’ll continue to move forward with our plan to give you the ultimate no-code Web3 experience from the Forward Marketplace.

The future of Forward Factory v4 will include more innovations based on the solid no-code foundations we’ve already built.

Whether it is new templates currently being developed for the Forward Marketplace or wallet integrations to facilitate seamless monetization opportunities for developers, the possibilities are endless, and they are available for all Forwardians.

The future is no code; we’ll get there by moving forward together.
