Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I contracted 4Blocks at the start of the year with a blockchain project that I wanted to develop, and it has been on schedule and as smooth sailing as possible. 
The work involved development in many aspects: mobile apps, web app, fiat & blockchain payments, database & operation, as well as multipe Smart Contracts to operate the minting of NFTs and make sure the platform is operating securely. Design aspects were executed to what I was looking for, and the front end overall looks very well done and professional. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The best outcome is that the project that I had a vision for, but lacking for in skills was developed into the platform that operates and looks as I had hoped. I have progressed from idea to business, and absolutely see everything so far as successful or leading to success.

Project Management was excellent, no problems with delivery, and my needs were achieved and exceeded on multiple occasions. Good communication skills and incredible dedication made a continental time zone difference a non-issue.
