What Went Well, What Didn't Go Well, Misc

What Went Well What Didn't Go Well Misc
Main themes Airdrop / Max FOX launch went really well and positive reception from community & media Bounty - No design/ux, product requirements, or architecture planning before bounty work started Engineering oversights
DAOing it - Feels like the transition to a DAO and community building is going really well Losing engineers and product folks post wave 2. No recruiting pipeline for engineering at the moment Worried about next years taxes due to SS decentralizing
Hit the Open Source Platform v2 bounty deadline Tech debt occurred in open source platform v2 due to having to hit bounty deadline Defi had to work a weekend on balance charts to get them right.
Strong collaboration and team to hit bounty deadline Lack of clear vision for DAO So much innovation happening right now
Other Topics Open Source Platform v2 is pretty slick and built to scale Trying to decentralize unchained is like fitting a round peg into a square hole
Props to Bread for mobile responsiveness work Pranksters in early DAO calls
Engineering community demos/office hours going well DAO test funds logistics
DAO community engagement A lot of DAO meetings. Most likely not good time management
Various DAO partnerships Engineering resource allocation
Finally, Metamask support Not enough allocation made to Unchained
# of Engineers that continued post wave ~4% airdrop claim rate
Engineering leadership and planning Underlying data structures
Planning and refactoring of v2 LPing Code owners reviewing own PR's as bounty deadline got closers
Agile Governance process Watchtower
Hired Oxcean Lack of clear vision for future
Velocity / throughput increase since open source v2 Gitflow
Post wave 2 transition went well Package versioning in lib
Is client storage even feasible?
Public bounties haven't worked yet
