In late 2017, @storj asked me to become their general contractor and build a development office for them in Ukraine
That later became @BoostyLabs, with Storj as our only client throughout 2018
@BoostyLabs has always been at the cutting edge of Web3 product development.
Many of the biggest names in the space have built with us over the years — and still come back when they need to ship something new, fast, and at the highest quality.
Very proud of my guys there now under @arilastX’s leadership, while I’m crushing it with @utexocom. The sky is the limit for both of us. Cheers!
🧐 Did you know?
🏆 Boosty Labs started with 10 people and one client - @storj
Founded by @VIhnatiuk on Dec 17, 2017
Nearly 9 years and 250+ projects later, we're building for @Ledger, @Consensys, @moonpay, and @McKinsey, and many others!
🕰️ After 12 years, @BitMEX is closing.
📅 Aug 26: no new positions
📅 Sep 23: all positions force-closed. Users advised to withdraw assets early.
What BitMEX will be remembered for:
🏗️ Launched in 2014 by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed
🚀 In 2016, introduced XBTUSD - the 1st popular crypto perp futures contract with up to 100x leverage. Perpetuals became the main product of nearly every exchange after
💰 $3T+ in cumulative XBTUSD volume alone
🛡️ 11 years without ever losing client funds to a hack
BitMEX laid the rails the entire crypto derivatives industry still runs on!
