Description

## Problem
The **"Explore CC"** dropdown currently opens and closes immediately without any smooth transitions. This behavior, while functional, does not align with modern UI/UX standards. Additionally, the **"Explore CC"** button moves its position when toggled, which may disrupt the user's focus and create a less intuitive experience.

Current implementation:

## Description
Enhancing the dropdown with smooth CSS transitions would make the experience feel more polished and visually pleasing. Additionally, keeping the **"Explore CC"** button static or improving its interaction with the dropdown could ensure a more cohesive user experience.

## Additional context
This enhancement will make the interaction feel more polished and user-friendly.

## Implementation
- [x] I would be interested in implementing this feature.
