Many of you are already aware that the focus on INLEO has shifted toward refining the User Experience and the INLEO Interface. The lead domino for us is to create the smoothest, fastest and most enjoyable experience of Web3 on the planet. Premium Subs are now at 200 recurring monthly subscriptions and this is generating some nice early flywheel effects for the platform.
As of right now, @leopool has over $11,000 in perma-pool positions in the LEO:HIVE and LEO:CACAO Liquidity Pools.
A perma-pool position is permanent liquidity that will never leave the pool. ICYMI: LeoPremium costs 10 HBD per month. That 10 HBD is used to buy 50% LEO ($5 worth of LEO) and 50% of the other pair asset (HIVE or CACAO). Then the total 10 HBD is pooled permanently in a liquidity pool.
The flywheel effect of this is incredible. As the monthly recurring Premium user count grows, organic buy pressure on the LEO token grows. The LEO that is bought is then deployed permanently into liquidity pools, generating deeper and deeper liquidity for the LEO Token Economy.
Since the LEO Token Economy also operates various wLEO, aLEO, bLEO, pLEO bridges as well as the HIVE Aggregation Technology for Maya Protocol, the liquidity depth leads to fee revenue on these bridges, which ultimately leads to more permanent liquidity from trading volume. 🔂
If you're curious about these flywheel effects, Khal will be on @taskmaster4450's Weekly Lion's Den X Space tomorrow (Friday) at 1PM EST. We'll be specifically talking about flywheels and why they're so valuable for an ecosystem like LEO.
INLEO's New Image Hosting Service and Uploading Fully Fixed
Back to the subject of this post specifically. We're working on making INLEO the smoothest, fastest and most enjoyable Web3 experience. This requires a lot of technical debt get cleared out. If you're curious about this tech debt and how we're now focused entirely on refining the experience of INLEO, check out yesterday's blog post from @leofinance.
Over the past few weeks/months, we've experienced a lot of issues with image uploading. We used to use Imgur, then we tried using hive.blog. Neither of them provided us the uptime and smooth uploading experience that we needed.
So we set out to build our own image hosting service sometime about 6-8 weeks ago.
Since that undertaking, we experienced more issues. Finally, we pushed a major upgrade to the infrastructure last night and images are fully fixed.
You can now upload images on https://labs.inleo.io and https://inleo.io much faster, easier and with better quality.
We're going to further improve the compression tactics of images to make them more efficient AND higher quality on the UI. This will take some time but you will notice gradual improvements day-to-day on the UI.
I know that this has been extremely frustrating for many of you, so if you got frustrated and decided to take a break from INLEO, I invite you to come back and try the UI again.
In the month of April, nearly 40 bugs were fixed and some other massive infrastructure upgrades were rolled out.
The image hosting upgrade was a big one. We're now fully running our own image hosting and compression service. You'll notice how much better the experience is today compared to the past if you try uploading an image from mobile or desktop.
Continuing the Refinement Process in May
Again, the modus operandi from April and now going into May is to 100% focus on refining the experience of INLEO.
You know our team for pushing out massive features and rolling out technology that is on the bleeding edge. That's what we're passionate about.
As we roll out features, technical debt stacks up and it's important for us to address it. We were running in full sprint the last 12 months to create a feature-complete experience on INLEO.
Now is the time to clear up all the tech debt that was built up in that timeframe.
If you have been a user of the UI these past 12 months, we appreciate your patience as we have been building some bleeding edge tech that required a lot of testing, feedback and iterations.
A new era for INLEO is beginning. Get ready for an even better experience each time you log in to INLEO on a daily basis.
Posted Using InLeo Alpha
looks like I have to try it! If we can pull off an immutable blockchain-based image storage, this can be insane!
Good to know that Inleo now fully runs it own image hosting and compression service. Uploading images has been a bit frustrating for some time now but I'm glad I can now upload images with ease.
I know building this UI hasn't been easy but I'm happy we have something like Inleo; The all in one app.
I have been using the UI for quite a long time now and I must say; the UI is pretty most better now.
Can't wait to see other features being rolled out.
This is a great achievement in the month of April, am glad the the images has been fixed and we can now use any of the two logins for it.
Thanks to @leofinance her team members for their enormous work Weldon.
Great to hear about the image hosting infrastructure upgrade!
How do you decide which other asset you buy between HIVE or CACAO? Based on which pool has the lowest liquidity between the two?
It seems like "Move Fast May" and I like it. I am looking forward to the better images but it hasn't been a big problems in my threads that I've noticed.
It's a big deal for InLeo to be its own image hosting service after relying for years on Imgur.com. Many thanks to everyone involved in this undertaking. Even if it isn't 100% at the moment, that's the price for being on the bleeding edge of things not just for the developers but for us as pioneers of Web3 on the InLeo wagon train.

Just one thing: now that InLeo will host images on its own space, how can we view the images we upload? We will need some sort of Gallery widget we can access to manage the images we upload (and may need to remove later).
It is very good that things are being upgraded it will benefit people to use this app and we all like this project very much and we are seeing continuous improvement in its progress. has been and the team is working very hard.
Finally I can upload images without stress again.,,,,,, that's cool.
Amazing update, the image issue has been a big problem. Happy we can put that to rest now.
I have been with inleo for far a long time, the moment when it was first introduced and the turnover of brand names from Leofinance beta to Leothreads to Inleo now.
But quite for some months, I experienced the image posting error greatly. This is one issue which mostly needed to be fixed and now the bug is remodified and solved - so a great thank is conveyed, after all.
Image hosting feature would be a nice move surely to retain more users and also newbies in the app. This would add more engagement for sure.
Anyway,I also want that text error be solved. To edit the text, more other irrelevant characters are added spontaneously. Solving this bug be the most wanted addition here on Inleo.
Thanks for all these changes and I appreciate the team's efforts.
I was waiting for it, I had a problem uploading the images through the Inleo front end, hopefully, we will get a seamless experience from now on. I am preparing a post to publish through inleo front end. Good going, keep it p.
Though frustrated, I am checking and testing from time to time.
Happy for this image upload fixing. It has been giving me lots of headache. Wishing the technical team more elbow to improve the UI. Thanks
Are you also considering the possibility to upload bulk images? :)
I have been waiting for this update for a very long time now. Thank God it is finally fixed.

Yeah, finally 💪🏼🥳👍🏼 love to read this is sorted, thanks for your effort 👍🏽 And now let me set the bar higher so that you don't start resting too much on this solution, even if it works well for the time being 😜 What about a truly decentralised solution meaning having the images on chain somehow?!
This is a big step in the Leoverse. I believe the more things operated in house will be the sucess note for INLEO.
Now if there is a problems, you know where the issue is.
Great job Dev Team!
Woo Hoo! Excited for this. I will finally get back to posting my #splinterlands battle of the day #botd.
