## Challenge

After validating product-market fit, the Gelato Network team needed help from web3 development experts to expedite roadmap delivery due to limited bandwidth.

## Solution

A dynamic team delivered $GEL token sale front-end, performed a Light Audit on the smart contracts, and shipped a dApp for the creation and configuration of G-UNI pools, which later spun off as Arrakis Finance ([https://www.sorbet.finance/#/pools](https://www.sorbet.finance/#/pools)). Following the delivery of the scope of work, we provided maintenance and supported the team as tech advisors.

## Contributions

Front-end, smart contract light audit, and assistance with defining the organization's management, hiring, and security processes.

## Outcome

On-time and successful Token Generation Event.

User-friendly dApp facilitated the onboarding of new projects into the G-UNI pools.

Improved processes allowed the organization to scale efficiently, by staying lean and agile.

Internal skillsets were enhanced, strengthening the team's overall capabilities and adaptability.
