The entire crypto space doesn't just move fast but is constantly accelerating. It’s hard building a DeFi product — it’s 24/7, 365 days a year, markets do not close, the ground beneath you can shift, assumptions can and do fail \& risk of burning out is real. * We take our product \+ brand very seriously. + If we see even a small flaw in our product, we always ask ourselves \- **Why isn't this perfect?** + All members have perpetual autonomy to fix anything broken that we notice, and we do not wait for someone else to tell us what to do. * We take extreme ownership of everything you do + If the team fails, everyone fails, so prioritize and execute. + We think long\-term, set big goals, and communicate with clear directions and goals to achieve them. Everyone must understand not just what they're doing but also why they are doing it. + No Egos, lead by example, and mutual accountability. * Strive for clear and simple communication \- this is easier said than done but communicating the "why" of an issue is equally important as the "what.” * All meetings have an agenda, with outcomes clearly defined as tasks and call\-to\-actions. * Prioritize all tasks by \- what is more important for our users without compromising on any of the above goals.
