🤝 Values & How we work?
The entire crypto space doesn't just move fast but is constantly accelerating. It’s hard building a DeFi product — it’s 24/7, 365 days a year, markets do not close, the ground beneath you can shift, assumptions can and do fail & risk of burning out is real.
- We take our product + brand very seriously.
- If we see even a small flaw in our product, we always ask ourselves - Why isn't this perfect?
- All members have perpetual autonomy to fix anything broken that we notice, and we do not wait for someone else to tell us what to do.
- Take extreme ownership of everything we do
- If the team fails, everyone fails, so prioritize and execute.
- We think long-term, set big goals, and communicate with clear directions and goals to achieve them. Everyone must understand not just what they're doing but also why they are doing it.
- No Egos, lead by example, and mutual accountability.
- Strive for clear and simple communication - this is easier said than done but communicating the "why" of an issue is equally important as the "what.”
- All meetings have an agenda, with outcomes clearly defined as tasks and call-to-actions.
- Prioritize all tasks by - what is more important for our users without compromising on any of the above goals.
