Notes for the DevPool pitch deck

[sergfeldman]

Crypto projects pain points

Operational limitations.
The operational throughput is limited by the capacity of internal developers.
The throughput scaling is not easy and smooth.

Efficiency and total cost of development.
The total cost of development is pretty high, i.e. expenses on Engineering Management.
The onboarding of new developers requires specific effort.

Solution quality.
The overall solution quality is limited by the level of internal developers.

DevPool is a bounty marketplace on the GitHub for crypto projects and developers.

Benefits

DevPool makes it possible to

• Increase operational throughput and scale the development easily.
• Decrease the efficiency and total cost of development because bounty is paid only after the task is done.
• Increases overall quality because tasks are performed by the different developers that naturally audit code, find problems, and propose better solutions.

Features

• Automation is implemented directly on GitHub which is suitable for most crypto projects.
• DevPool already contains some of the top developer talents.
• DevPool is focused on crypto, i.e. payments are in crypto which is valuable for developers.

1) Easy scalability
The operational throughput is significantly increased by the developers from GitHub and UviquiBot automation.
The scaling and flexibility of development are easily increased.

2) Increased efficiency and decreased total cost of development
The total cost of development is decreased because of the "pay only for done tasks" approach (i.e. expenses on Engineering Management).
The onboarding of new developers is simplified.

3) GitHub-native usability
All the GitHub tools are available.
The routine task activity is automated via UbiquiBot.
There is no need to maintain tasks on a separate freelance platform.

4) Increased solution quality
The overall quality of the solution increased because tasks are performed by the different developers that naturally audit code, find problems, and propose better solutions.
Fresh ideas and approaches came from the cooperation with the talents available on GitHub.

Well I definitely want a screencap/share video showing off a quick overview of the bot features, because it seems like it was signficantly clearer for Alpha Labs after I screenshared on the call, even after talking about it in text for some time.
