It’s only been a short time since our last major release - [**Companions**](https://blog.vimworld.com/blogs/companions-are-live-start-incubating-your-eggs-today), but we’ve already got a new platform upgrade live today, packed with new features. Read on to get all the details!

**‍[Marketplace](https://vimworld.com/marketplace/companion) - now open for Companion Trading**

Companions can now be listed for auction and instant-buy on the Marketplace. Companions follow the same Marketplace rules as VIMs and EGGs, and have their own dedicated section where you can filter by Companion lineage and Star level.

**‍Hatched EGGs also now trading on the Marketplace**

Completing your EGG collections will now be much more achievable! Hatched EGGs can now be listed for auctions and instant-buys on the Marketplace - they will appear in the EGG section alongside unhatched EGGs. You’ll be able to tell them apart from both their ‘hatched’ art form as well as being labeled ‘unhatched’.

***Seller beware: certain hatched EGGs and used Companions may have future use cases*** 

**‍Companion bulk linking**

To streamline the process of linking Companions to VIMs, we’ve made it possible to link up to 8 Companions in a single transaction. Unlinking Companions is still done one at a time.

**‍Who is the ultimate EGG farmer? New Leaderboard category for completed incubations**

It’s now possible to track who is leading the way with the most productive EGG battery farm. See the top wallets and where you rank in terms of the most incubations completed on this new [**leaderboard**](https://www.vimworld.com/resources/leaderboard) in the Caretaker section. Due to the crossover with ‘Top EGG Collector’, this new leaderboard will not be associated with monthly POWA rewards.

**‍Further upgrades**

In the VIMstudy, we’ve upgraded the EGGs section to now display hatched EGG images, where they have been discovered.

You’ll also now be able to observe Box Rewards that you may have received in the Dashboard Rewards section. 

**‍An ever evolving platform**

We hope everyone enjoys and makes good use of our latest changes. With the exciting news announced at the recent [**Community Conversation**](https://youtu.be/w8JhApOO2OI), we will be working hard to both improve and enhance existing features, as well as building out new utilities and systems on new infrastructure. The future of VIMworld has never looked brighter!
