There are three elements that will be critical for us to achieve these milestones. The first is being able to fully dedicate members of our team to the DCA initiative. Since launching Loop in 2021, we've been working on scoping out and building a prototype of the DCA product, but other business initiatives caused us to de-prioritize the work. Fortunately, we are now at a point where our other products are stable. While we have a lengthy roadmap of feature enhancements to our existing checkout product, this grant would allow us to shift the team’s focus to the DCA product, which we have not been able to do in the past.

Second, over the last 2.5 years, the Loop team has become highly proficient building together and bringing products to market. We have fine-tuned our process of project planning, ticket creation, sprint planning, and testing. We know how to execute as a team, and we will bring that know-how to this initiative.

Finally, we believe it will be essential to draw on the support of the Arbitrum and Uniswap ecosystems to accomplish a project like this. We will be reliant on sourcing and working with dedicated testers who will be providing feedback along the way as we roll out an alpha and eventually live version of the product. Building this DCA product while part of a cohort of builders within the Arbitrum and Uniswap communities will be invaluable and allow us to get to market significantly faster.
