Their ability to take a deep look at a subject is impressive.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder of a blockchain-based entity that pursues various projects in the crypto space. We’re a decentralized autonomous organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RedDuck?

We needed a way to exhaustively and rapidly test the Solidity code we were outputting. We needed F# specialists who were really good at functional programming, specifically because functional programming has a set of features and opportunities around it that we needed to build our products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RedDuck helped us with software development using Ethereum, Solidity, and F#. First, we communicated our software requirements to Mark (CTO), and he found us several developers on their side who could help us. He also helped us build the tapes for the first version of the product and to put that version up.

The purpose of the software was to thoroughly test Solidity code, which is a smart contract language. Smart contracts are typically responsible for a fair amount of money going into them. RedDuck helped us build a mechanism to test the code and test it rapidly. The team created a PI (process intelligence) provider system for Ethereum. 

Additionally, they started a second version of the product that we’re still busy with on our side, though they’re no longer involved. 

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was Mark (CTO), who acted as a Scrum master and product manager.

How did you come to work with RedDuck?

I initially found RedDuck through Upwork, and we started working via the platform.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–November 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

I was satisfied with the quality of RedDuck’s code and the speed at which they completed work. Our primary metrics were whether the code worked and if it was maintainable. Since I’m a developer myself, I had a look at the code that they were outputting. One of their consultants stood out for their very high-quality code.

Our engagement only ended due to budgetary constraints on our side. Otherwise, I would have loved to continue working with them. 

How did RedDuck perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management was satisfactory regarding communication, deadlines, and staying on budget. In terms of tools, we mostly used Jira. We primarily communicated through instant messaging. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed by RedDuck’s large concentration of functional programming expertise, which very few providers have.

Are there any areas they could improve?

When I gave RedDuck negative feedback, I never got excuses from them — I got adjusted behavior. They were able to take criticism from us and adjust their approach versus blaming the circumstance. RedDuck is on the right track; they should keep doing what they’re doing, and I’m sure they’ll be incredible in a few years.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise engaging with RedDuck and making sure you spend enough to gain one whole resource from them. You can expect a lot from the team because they adjust their approach to the client’s expectations. It’s okay to get a little demanding with them — you’ll get good results.

• Vesting with Merkle Tree Approach: RedDuck implemented a robust vesting smart contract using the innovative Merkle tree approach. This ensured secure and transparent distribution of tokens, with vested amounts released based on predefined conditions. The Merkle tree architecture allowed for efficient and scalable token distribution, providing our project with a strong foundation for token lock-ups and controlled releases.
• Website Refactoring and Migration: RedDuck assisted us in smoothly migrating our website files to a new hosting environment. While the initial files were migrated, RedDuck also advised on the necessary refactoring to optimize the website's performance and ensure seamless user experiences. Their attention to detail and expertise in website development helped enhance the website's overall functionality.
• Vercel Hosting Integration: To ensure reliable and scalable hosting, RedDuck recommended and implemented Vercel hosting for our website. Their choice of Vercel as a hosting service has proven to be highly efficient, providing us with fast-loading pages and a seamless user interface.
• Promo Codes and Referral System: RedDuck integrated a feature-rich promo code and referral system into our payment process gateway. Users can now enjoy exclusive discounts and incentives through pre-programmed promo codes, while the referral system rewards users for bringing in new participants. This dynamic addition significantly boosted user engagement and contributed to our project's growth.
• Manual Modification of Merkle Tree: RedDuck's expertise allowed for the manual modification of the Merkle tree, granting us greater flexibility in managing token distributions and adjusting vesting schedules as needed. This level of customization has proven invaluable in responding to specific project requirements and adapting to market conditions.
• Payment Integration - Testnet and Mainnet Support: To facilitate smooth transactions and token management, RedDuck expertly integrated a payment gateway into our platform. Their implementation ensured that each deposit was securely credited to the user's account, akin to a centralized mixer or centralized exchange. The initial use of testnet keys allowed us to rigorously test the system, and later, the transition to mainnet keys ensured a seamless transition upon the project's launch.
• Dynamic Levels/Stages for Presale: RedDuck skillfully programmed dynamic levels and stages for the presale process. As the number of tokens sold reached predetermined thresholds, the price automatically adjusted according to pre-defined rules. This automated process streamlined the presale and allowed for a fair and transparent token distribution, further building trust and confidence among our community.

In conclusion, RedDuck's contributions have been instrumental in transforming our project into a robust and feature-rich blockchain ecosystem. Their expertise in developing smart contracts, payment gateways, and website functionality, coupled with their problem-solving abilities and professionalism, has made them an invaluable partner in our journey. We highly recommend RedDuck to any project seeking top-tier blockchain development services.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The knowledge, experience, and credibility proved extremely beneficial. RedDuck were not only able to envision what wanted the final product to look like, but they also consulted and asked probing questions, leading to an even better result.

They have the ability to consult and make efficient solutions, and unique additions that we didn't even think about or realize. This was extremely unique and proved that RedDuck understands the goals of their clients as much as they understand the capabilities of the tech.

Are there any areas for improvement or something RedDuck could have done differently?

While RedDuck's overall performance was commendable, there are a few areas where they could have improved or taken a different approach:

1. More Detailed Documentation: Providing more comprehensive documentation for the delivered solutions could have been beneficial. This would assist us in understanding the implemented features thoroughly and help with future maintenance and updates.
2. Proactive Testing: While the project was delivered without major issues, proactively conducting comprehensive testing during the development phase could have further minimized potential bugs and ensured smoother implementation.
