🤝 Values & How do 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 and 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.
