Building and evolving Bulletin: Pioneering transparency in crypto private secondaries

I really can’t speak highly enough of WAYF. Maciej, Szymon and the rest of the team did an outstanding job from start to finish and I couldn’t be happier with the result! I particularly appreciated their desire to understand the key objectives of Bulletin and to build something in-line with my needs & budget, without compromising on the quality and design of the product.

OVERVIEW

In a market burgeoning with potential yet hindered by opacity, Bulletin emerged from a clear vision articulated by the founder, David Mirzadeh, a crypto/web3 advisor and enthusiast deeply familiar with the intricacies of the crypto private secondaries market.

His critical insight into the market's challenges—its opacity, the high cost of transactions, and the underservice by existing platforms due to crypto's unique characteristics—laid the groundwork for Bulletin.

Conceived as a revolutionary platform, Bulletin was designed to illuminate the private shares landscape in leading crypto projects and funds, fostering a vibrant ecosystem where buyers, sellers, and brokers could engage directly and transparently.

THE CHALLENGE

David pinpointed the crux of the issue in the private secondaries market: a profound lack of discoverability and accessibility.

The existing platforms fell short in addressing the nuanced needs of crypto assets—often resulting in a fragmented, inefficient, and costly transaction process.

This inefficiency not only stifled market liquidity but also deterred potential market participants.

THE SCOPE

Bulletin was envisioned as the beacon of change—a platform that not only enhanced discoverability for private crypto shares but also democratised access to these valuable assets.

The goal was to create a hub that simplified the connection process between market participants, ensuring data privacy and reducing the barriers to entry in the crypto secondaries market.

THE APPROACH

Our mission was to translate David’s vision into a tangible reality by developing a fully functional dashboard for listing private crypto instruments within an ambitious timeframe. The core objectives were clear:

  • Rapid development: Adopt an "extreme programming" approach to deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that embodied the essence of Bulletin within just a week and a half.

  • Concept validation: Leverage the MVP to validate the market need for such a platform, monitoring user traffic and engagement to gather essential feedback.

  • Strategic adaptation: Utilise the insights gathered during the MVP phase to refine and evolve Bulletin, ensuring it fully aligns with user expectations and market demands.

THE OUTCOMES

The result was a testament to the efficacy of focused, user-centric development. The MVP not only fulfilled the envisioned functionalities but also set a foundation for iterative improvement based on real user interactions.

Bulletin emerged as a functional, user-friendly platform that directly addressed the needs identified by David and other professionals in this space, marking a significant first step towards transforming the crypto private secondaries market.

CONCLUSION

Bulletin's journey from concept to MVP showcases the power of clarity in vision, agility in development, and the importance of addressing unmet needs in rapidly evolving markets.

As Bulletin continues to evolve, its core mission remains steadfast: to enhance transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in the crypto private secondaries market, thereby unlocking new possibilities for market participants worldwide.
