 Since the conclusion of the hackathon, our project, EazyWally, has embarked on an ambitious journey towards realization and market entry. In the weeks and months following the event, we have made considerable progress, although we've also encountered challenges that have informed our approach and strategic decisions. Here's a detailed update on the developments, improvements, and milestones we've achieved, as well as the hurdles we've faced.  Developments and Improvements Platform Enhancement: We've refined EazyWally's user interface and user experience based on feedback received during the hackathon. This includes optimizing the process of linking Ethereum wallets to mobile phone numbers, making it even more user-friendly and accessible to a non-technical audience. Security Upgrades: Given the paramount importance of security in cryptocurrency transactions, we've bolstered our platform's security measures. This involves enhancing the encryption methods used when associating wallet addresses with contact information and improving the robustness of our smart contracts. Strategic Discussions and Decisions Blockchain Transition Considerations: A significant point of discussion within our team has been the potential transition from building on the Ethereum blockchain to utilizing Arbitrum, a layer 2 scaling solution. This consideration was driven by Arbitrum's promise of lower transaction fees and faster processing times, which are crucial for our target market in Africa. Technical and Financial Challenges: However, as we delved deeper into the requirements for such a transition, we encountered both technical complexities and financial constraints. The development effort to adapt our platform for Arbitrum, coupled with the need for additional funding to support this pivot, has led us to pause these plans temporarily. Our current focus remains on solidifying our foundation on the Ethereum network while keeping future blockchain scalability options open.
