With the new Collectibles gallery, users will be able to easily view and manage their NFTs in the Firefly wallet. Thus, users will be able to exchange, create or burn NFTs directly through the Firefly wallet.
Likewise, the introduction of the governance tab allows users to vote on the latest proposals within the Shimmer ecosystem and even hold their own votes for the DAO community.
Apart from introducing collectibles and management support, the latest Firefly wallet version also brings some other important changes. Some of these include a fiat market conversion for the Shimmer blockchain; in-app version updates for the Mac and Linux platforms; clear balance sheet breakdown and effective storage provisions; burning unwanted native tokens; burn all unwanted native tokens; as well as other improvements and corrections.
