Sunsetting Blitz Trade

The Blitz Trade Beta v1.0 interface and brand was deprecated on September 13th, 2023.

This wasn't an easy decision to make. We've spent a significant amount of time contemplating it, weighing the pros and cons, and considering all the constraints we face.

At this stage in our journey, we believe that our team's efforts are better directed towards a product that can be scaled more effectively, helping us in our mission to build a decentralized future.

It is not all bad

Although we weren’t able to achieve our goals with Blitz, the users who tested our Beta.  generally had a positive experience. We still stand firm in our belief that for DeFi, the onus is finally shifting onto the user experience.

The puzzle pieces have been laid, and the next wave of innovation will be about connecting the dots – bringing the technology to the user.

Takeaways

When everything came together, which it did for many features, the iteration speed, quality, and user experience matched or surpassed all of our goals and expectations.

At times, it really felt like we were on the verge of changing the game for on-chain interactions. Even though these experiences were highly encouraging, when we balanced the positives against the pain points plus the current needs and resources we decided that it wasn’t right for us anymore.

We understand that this may be a difficult time for all and we want to make the transition as smooth as possible. Our team and community managers will be available via Discord to answer any questions you have and provide assistance.

Blitz was an incredibly exciting experiment with unbelievable highs and lows, and we are so grateful to the team and community for the wonderful journey.
