Over the past few weeks, HoRa has been fully focused on rolling out its new NFT marketplace. With the closed beta live and the public launch just around the corner, the project is entering a crucial phase, laying the groundwork for a platform designed to be reliable, flexible, and community-driven.

Here’s a look at what’s been happening behind the scenes at HoRa:

One of the most exciting aspects of HoRa’s approach is its emphasis on community participation. Holders aren’t just spectators, they’re part of shaping the platform.

The closed beta of the marketplace is already running for Premium holders who verified through HolderRadar. This has allowed the team to gather real feedback, fix bugs, and fine-tune the platform ahead of the broader rollout.

The public launch is scheduled for September 7th, 2025, giving the entire Pepu community the chance to explore what HoRa has been building.

Key progress highlights:

• Closed beta live – Early access for Premium holders with active bug fixing and refinements

• Public marketplace launch soon – Opening the doors for everyone to participate

• Planned integrations – Collaborations with other projects to expand available payment methods

• Beyond ERC-721 – Upcoming support for additional NFT standards, enabling creators to design NFTs tailored to their needs

• Safety first – An NSFW detection algorithm is under development to ensure a secure browsing environment, with manual reporting available in the meantime

Alongside marketplace development, HoRa has been running the Vote Bot competition in partnership with Pepe Unchained.

Each season (lasting one month), holders can vote for their favorite tokens on the Pepu blockchain. The top three projects receive:

• A featured blog post on Pepe Unchained’s official Mirror

• A badge displayed on HolderRadar

• Recognition across the ecosystem

With Season 1 wrapping up soon, the leaderboard is heating up. Right now, PEPU Bank, TOSH , and HoRa are leading the charts, but every vote still counts.

Cast your vote before the season ends and help decide which projects make the top 3!

HoRa’s focus is clear: building a marketplace that combines reliability, flexibility, and community ownership. The closed beta has already been a valuable step in refining the product, but the real milestone will be the upcoming public launch in September.

Over the next few weeks, their team will continue:

• Polishing the user experience based on beta feedback

• Finalizing integrations with partner projects

• Rolling out safety mechanisms for a trusted environment

We’re excited to see how the launch unfolds and how the Pepu community will engage with a platform built to raise the standard for NFTs in the ecosystem.
