To streamline the development of the Web-based Card Pay dashboard dApp, the mobile Cardstack wallet, and the command-line utilities, we have extracted the common capabilities into something called the Card Pay SDK. The Card Pay SDK provides an easy way for JavaScript developers to tap into our implementation of prepaid cards, supply depots, token bridges, and revenue pools.

Here’s a teaser for a design project we are doing in collaboration with Flex Dapps in Australia. We are working to create an NFT-based product catalog, where merchants can set prices, discounts, and various criteria (e.g. "only people who hold my token can buy this product").

Current NFT platforms do not have a way to support more complex mixed-media expressions—or ways to download a source file to be able to make any changes or edits. What's the solution then? Watch this chapter of What's in Your NFTs? : https://youtube.com/watch?v=M-S_5AVTnSo&t=923s

On the Card compiler front, we continue to port the capability of nested cards—which is very important for the synthesis of data about assets—into the new (V3) version of the Cardstack Hub. This work is done in the main monorepo, on an iterative basis—so we can strive to reduce the number of code lines that are necessary to express all the compositional concepts needed to support our upcoming products, including Card Space, Card Catalog, & Card Membership.
