Forward Q2 2024 Review
The year is in full swing, and the Forward train is chugging along smoothly, zooming through milestone stations and collecting achievements. Spring has made way for summer, and we’ve come to a pivotal point in our journey through 2024 — the end of the second quarter of the year.
It must feel like yesterday that we published our Q1 report, and we completely understand — time flies when you’re living your best life. It’s really been three months since we last did this — three months filled with Web3 successes and achievements.
How about we take a moment to pause and reflect on the progress we’ve made and the hurdles we’ve scaled up to this pivotal moment? Join us as we go through Forward’s Q2 progress report.
Forward Movement Through Partnership, Collaboration and Integration
The success we recorded in Q2 2024 was built on our tested and trusted formula of working with Web3 visionaries. These relationships are the foundations upon which we build the Forward Marketplace, making it the domain for the ultimate no-code Web3 experience for users at every level of technicality.
This report would not be complete without a special mention of our chain integration with Optopia, a strategic move to expand our network. The latest members of our network were:
The Magic that Happens in the Forward Factory
The Forward Factory is the interface for different classes of Web3 users, including developers, builders, and end users. Our users have deployed over 450 templates from the Forward Factory, relying on the no-code solutions in the Marketplace to interact with the Web3 space.
We dedicated Q2 to improving the Forward Factory. These improvements have come in different phases and through various events. The reviews we’ve received so far have been the encouragement we need to know that we’re on the right track as we continue to build useful products and services for you.
So, here’s everything we had going on in the Forward Factory through Q2 2024:
- Forward Bug Bounty Campaign: We enlisted the help of our Forwardians to help us find any bugs and vulnerabilities in the Version 4 update of the Forward Marketplace that’s still in development.
Check out the Public Leaderboard to learn how the participants fared during the campaign.
- Forward x ITMO Hackathon: Our first hackathon event was as advertised — an opportunity for Web3 creatives to unlock exclusive rewards by leveraging their expertise, experience, and passion to improve the Forward Marketplace.
We published a full report if you want to catch up with the events of the hackathon, meet the winners or check out their winning templates.
- Optimizations and Customizations in the V4 Marketplace: The Marketplace continues to grow and the V4 upgrade is the newest and most intuitive iteration of the Forward Factory yet.
It maintains the no-code, user-friendly solutions that make the Forward Factory the hotspot for Web3 adoption. It also combines these features with new templates, flexible customization and personalization options, UI improvements, and API upgrades to improve security and functionality.

Forward in the Spotlight
Leading Web3 innovation comes with the perk of reaching new communities through the associations we develop with other leading lights within this space.

It can be difficult to make progress when you don’t know how to move forward. That’s why we never pass up our responsibility to educate our community members and the Web3 space at large.
Just as it takes only a few steps to customize and deploy a fully functional Web3 template from the Marketplace, it takes only a few minutes to digest our bit-sized Web3 knowledge packages.
