Behind the scenes at GoodGhosting

Time for another update!

BizDev

  • We started preparations to set up a proper limited liability company. This will allow us to launch internationally, without legal headaches. 🌎
  • We were awarded a grant by MakerDAO and Meta Gamma Delta (MGD) 👩

In addition to $10k, we’ll receive:

  • A security audit by a member of the Quantstamp team
  • Access to legal guidance
  • Mentorship and guidance from leading developers in the DeFi ecosystem
  • An interview with Girl Gone Crypto
  • A new domain from Unstoppable Domains (https://goodghosting.crypto)

That’s not all. We also have a new intern: Simon Cousaert (Business Analyst). He will support us building our business plan, and general operations.

It might have been quiet, but allot has been happening behind the scenes.

Tech improvements 👷

Back-end (smart contracts)

Our smart contract developers made a number of changes that will go a long way to reduce gas costs. It also enables us to more easily plug into additional yield-generating platforms in the future, as well as deploy multiple games at the same time.

Some examples:

  • Integration of Aave v2
  • Added batch deposit functionality
  • Increased smart contract unit test coverage to 100%
  • Added scripts to automatically deploy new games
  • Mitigated potential security issue

You can follow our progress in real-time on Github.

Front-end (user interface)

  • Integrating feedback from UX testing
    This is the big one! We will be adding new features and fixing the few bugs that popped up during alpha testing in our current prototype. More about that in this blog post.
  • Updated website FAQ & Roadmap

Gitcoin Grants (GR8): 50+ contributors! 🎁

Round 8 of Gitcoin Grants just came to a close. It is great to see so many of you contribute to the GoodGhosting Grant. We’ve counted over 65 unique contributors. A massive thank you to all who dug in to their wallets to support us! 🙏 It not only helps to keeps us motivated, but also enables us to actually build and deploy the MVP to mainnet!

A special shout out to the Ethereum Push Notification Service, DeFi Dad, Simona Pop, ThisBoyonGithub and Chloethedev for their — sometimes even multiple — donations. 🙏

Ps: don’t forget to claim your airdropped $BADGER if you donated.

Networking

Our team members have been reaching out not only to great people and teams in the crypto space, but also in the FinTech world. We learned allot the past two months, build new relationships, all while having lots of fun!
