- Supports all smartcoin functionality
- Supports all create/edit asset functionality including extensions
- Offers optional NFT support - a first on the Bitshares blockchain!

Updated the create prediction market asset & user issued asset pages
- Improved the asset permissions & asset flag UX significantly
Created a new blockchain overview page

Implemented the Bitshares committee account block list

- Cannot transfer to a blocked account
- Cannot view assets in your portfolio which were created by a blocked account
- Cannot view pools or credit offers created by blocked accounts

What's next?

I'm hoping that more votes will be cast in support for my Bitshares Astro UI worker proposal, this would really drive what's coming next into overdrive. If you've not voted yet, consider doing so to show your support!

OK, but what's actually in scope for development next?

Creating a new account from the Astro UI
- This would cut the need for the reference UI out of the picture
- Both bin file and cloud account based sign up
Creating charts for the DEX limit order page
Creating/closing vote lock tickets
Viewing vote lock tickets & resulting blockchain influence leaderboard
Implement the Bitshares core 8.0 voting system once released

Additional asset admin functionality - issuance, override transfer, price feed publisher configuration, etc.
Tanks and taps UI implementation once Bitshares core 8.0 is released
