AYIN Draws a Close on Migration 2.0
An Intense Chapter of Rebirth and Transformation Nears Completion for the AYIN Fintech Collective
We are tickled pink to finally be lifting the lid on AYINs new mission and vision for the future. The strategic unveil of the AYIN Roadmap launch and the ensuing ALPHa reveals transformational change for the platform and the ecosystem at large. Whilst there are a plethora of exciting announcements, unveils, and deployments all being shortly revealed we felt it fitting (and needed) that the first unveil — before we board you on a rocket ship to ALPHa-galaxies far far away, speaks to the journey so far and the critical foundations we have been laying at break-neck speed.
As many of you know the AYIN Collective grew considerably in February of this year — what most of you may not have understood is that the project is now being steered by new hands, with renewed levels of resource, and a paradigm shift in ambition, mission and vision.
Growth in the Collective has frankly been insane — think giant pepper shaker liberally distributing peppercorns of steroidal fertilizer to every AYIN nook and cranny! Enough of the whack metaphors — let’s give you the skinny on the NEW AYIN Collective:
Team Growth
They say it takes a village to raise a child — well we’re raising an army! We are in an aggressive growth mode — we now have 5 full-time devs under Saul’s leadership and look to double that team again over the rest of the year. Some of you have e-met Alex and Chas who embed themselves in the AYIN Collective as masters of our volume knob and we will continue to resource further MarComms expansion. We are eternally grateful to our Mods — the front line of AYIN for their incredible role in keeping our audiences fed and nourished — it has not been an easy job for them in this transitionary period but we’re quietly confident that’s all about to change!
So not too much to report on team growth then …cough ….>5x growth ….cough …in a little over 3 months ; )) . Excitingly we can also share our plans to add another two new functional squads to the collective in H2 — but we’ll leave you guessing as to what they’ll be focusing on! Did someone say Gustavo?
Tech Growth
From the tech side, bonkers amounts has been achieved and the ask on the Dev Squad continues to J-curve. We won’t bore you with the onerous details of our tech stack optimisations (in this intel parcel!) …but we have successfully built from the ground up — all of the needed enterprise-grade infrastructure, processes, and facilities to provide a secure, sustainable base of operations fit and purposed for radical speed & scale.
Taking our development operations forward, our teams work in full agile with a mandate to get to MVP as fast as possible, get those epics live and in market, and then iterate improvements through CI/CD (continuous integration, continuous delivery). This pipeline process drives our development through an optimised path of building, testing, and deploying code. For you our audiences, it means we can get lean products to market faster and build on those iteratively to add more function and facility. You will start to see this in action as features on the road map are unveiled — we may unveil an MVP and revisit that feature multiple times over the coming months introducing further sophistication and product depth.
Strategic Growth
AYINs already got a worthy collection of silverware — “Alephium’s 1st D’App”, “Alephium’s 1st DEX”, and the facilitator of nearly all Alephium’s ecosystem liquidity. So what’s the new north star? Where do we go next? What type of plan do we need to underwrite the next phases of sustained increases in market reach and unprecedented volume?
We’d like to share two pools of strategic thinking that we have been fastidiously pouring over during the recent passage of AYIN rebirth.
To the DEX, the products, and the platform itself:
We want to become leaders of the pack. To do this we need to online all major feature sets of de-fi presently offered by the leading players in the space — and we need to do this fast. Underpinned by an arsenal of Alephium innovative fundamentals, not only are we confident of doing this, but envision products that are more robust, safer, and able to deliver a radically improved customer experiences. And thus we set the compass.
To the Alephium Ecosystem:
For the majority of businesses, growth is their main objective. With that in mind, business decisions are often made based on what would contribute directly to that particular company’s continued growth and overall success. At AYIN we think differently. We understand that AYINs successes are underpinned by Alephium’s successes and so it is to this mission we will now invest and direct considerable energies towards — it’s a significant strategic extension to the boundaries of our present value exchange. Watch this space!
Market Growth
We get all sorts of feedback from the community (its crypto after all!) but a theme that we’d like to silence the critics on is “..nothings been happening with AYIN over many months…” We’d humbly proffer that more has been happening within the AYIN Collective than any other project in the ecosystem — but bragga-statements are not our DNA and instead we like the facts to speak for themselves. Since February:
These numbers have been achieved in a difficult market, whilst the Collective has been focused on foundational resilience and strategic planning. The AYIN Roadmap launch ignites a marketing blowtorch that we intend to wield with great promise.
Wen Complete?
We have titled this post “AYIN Closes Out Migration 2.0” — and for the detail orientated folk among you, you may notice we haven’t used the past tense. This is because there are still two items outstanding for us to complete this body of work and move in to GEN3.0 frameworks and thinking. The first of these is the Rhone Upgrade and we are working closely with Alephium core team to ensure that Wednesday’s sea-change for the chain passes without issue. The second item (one we’re pretty excited about sharing with you) will be another tile of the roadmap revealed next week. Your clue is: It will be another first for AYIN — the first team to have conquered this critical and foundational milestone in the Alephium ecosystem. Standby…
