imapp

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Coras is a software company that has developed a single API for the world's tickets. https://coras.io/

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire imapp, and what were your goals?

We had an idea to develop a blockchain loyalty app and token so we needed a company to help us figure out what needed to be built and then build it.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We looked at lots of different companies and decided to go with Imapp as they had the clearest thought process of how they could help build what we needed. The deciding factor was the quality of the people. Choosing a software company is more luck than skill and we got lucky with our choice.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We worked together to scope out what needed to be built to build a roadmap that both companies signed off on. Imapp then followed that document in collaboration with Coras. Solidity was the primary programming language used. The key deliverables have been an Ethereum Request for Comment 20 (ERC20) token and multi functionality dapp that we then had audited.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

There were 3-4 people we have primarily worked with from management, product managers to developers. All are of a very high quality and friendly to work with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We're about to launch so the project has the outcome we set out in the original scope of work document.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Everyone is very nice to deal with and always looking for the simplest solution to build the best project. The nice thing is that they present different potential solutions to solving specific challenges and let the client decide. Communication is very friendly whether on email, calls or on Telegram.

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

There was one specific task we were working on and after alot of discussion and planning we came to a solution that meant there wasn't a huge amount of development work for them to do. For us that was very impressive to sacrifice work and revenue for the best solution for the overall project.

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

Nothing that comes to mind. There is always a working relationship that takes time to develop.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a Software Engineer at Ethereum Foundation (EF), a non-profit organization. The EF promotes and supports research, development, and education related to the Ethereum ecosystem and related technologies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire imapp, and what were your goals?

Imapp conducted research that aimed to propose a method of estimating gas costs of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) instructions, focusing on the subset of non-IO instructions. Their proposed procedure provided an insight into the relative computational costs (focusing mainly on CPU) of the individual EVM instructions and explored their variability in different circumstances.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We chose Imapp for this project because we’ve worked with them before. Their team is very experienced in research projects and they also have great applied knowledge in the blockchain environment.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The main focus areas of this research project were: 1. Expand the program generation module, to explore the interesting features of EVM programs and the variability of their computational cost. 2. Expand the instrumentation and measurement modules, to make the measurements more "fair" and comparable across EVM implementations and instructions. 3. Expand the analysis module, to incorporate statistical testing and other validation methods and other ways to extract features from the collected measurements. 4. Provide a proper harness for the measurement runs in terms of hardware and environment diversity. 5. Ensure easy application of the automated scripts for validation methods.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with a team of 4–5 people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

They delivered what they set out to do. They proposed a method of estimating gas costs of EVM instructions by means of estimating their marginal execution cost. They also provided arguments for this method to be a feasible way of assessing the discrepancies of costs of EVM instructions.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We communicated mostly through Slack and had a weekly call scheduled. The team was very responsive and promptly answered our questions.
