Foundation Release: Core Infrastructure Development

What is the Foundation Release?
The Foundation Release is a complete rebuild of the platform from the ground up, designed as a long-term initiative to succeed the MVP. Developed by a dedicated team working alongside the MVP development team, it focuses on creating a scalable, secure, and adaptable foundation for future growth. By integrating lessons learned during MVP development and the journey toward product-market fit, this release introduces a dedicated mobile application, ensuring the platform evolves to meet the needs of its users.

What we’re doing to establish core infrastructure:

• User Authentication:
  • Implementing secure sign-up and login processes with email verification and one-time passcodes.
• Dashboard:
  • Developing user dashboards to display key metrics like bids, auctions won, financial transactions, and activity summaries.
• Campaign Creation:
  • Building tools for admins to create campaigns with detailed options such as title, goal amounts, stretch goals, and performance tracking.
• Payment System:
  • Establishing a secure payment system for pledges and transactions, enabling users to track rewards, claim points, and utilize bid tokens.
• Dedicated Mobile Application:
  • Launching a mobile app to bring full platform functionality to users on the go, providing a seamless experience across devices.

Why it matters:
The Foundation Release represents a critical investment in the platform’s future, ensuring it is prepared to handle increasing user demands, support seamless functionality, and adapt to market needs as they arise. Designed as a true successor to the MVP, this phase focuses on delivering a robust, mobile-friendly experience while laying the groundwork for continuous improvement and future scalability.
