## Multy: mobile development = house development?
The first day we’ve moved to our new office, we discovered that there is a construction site right next to it.
— What if developing software project is pretty similar to what workers do at construction site?… Let's compare developing crypto-wallet and house development! — these were the first words we heard from our CEO Vadim Makovsky that day.
— Let’s start a **challenge: who is the first to close project?** Will developers manage to sell apartments to people before we release final version of Multy? — commented on Vadim.

## The first step in house development is about choosing a land site.
At this stage developers determine the **availability of necessary communications and infrastructures.**
As for us, **mobile developers**, this stage implies **choosing the best idea of the future project** - basis on which the project will be "built". Developers should also answer such questions as follow: are there similar projects on the market? What is good / interesting / useful and not very good about them? Is there a so-called "infrastructure" for idea’s implementation and functioning?
Roughly speaking, who needs a stand-alone crypto-wallet with no blockchain and cryptocurrency backing it? Truth is - there are many blockchains and cryptocurrencies already, and new ones emerge every day. But **there is a deficit of high quality mobile wallet applications for those.**
Builders made their decision to build a high-rise in front of our windows, we decided to develop a super crypto-wallet.
## The second step - geological examination
Experts determine **whether it is possible to build anything on this spot**, taking into account properties of soil, relief, etc., choose construction technologies and construction materials.
We’ve built **our own expertise** and participated in **Imaguru Blockchain Hackathon** with an idea of cryptocurrency wallet (“tested the soil”). And we actually **won it**, with positive feedback from experts and gained investments from Cyber Fund. Problem of “material for development” was solved as well.
In 48 hours we’ve developed 2 usable prototypes of mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms capable of displaying balances in BTC, ETH, Golos and send/receive transfer value from one account to another. Vadim claimed apps worked on “crutches”, but still it worked, right?
Builders inspected the soil and technologies too.
## The third step - projecting
At this step developers **design the house plan**, appearance, burden on the foundation and assess plan for further development of the area.
And it looks like our competitors figured all that out just fine, since they started digging a huge hole right in front of our office.
And what have we done?
We did a great job **hunting bright minds** to complement existing team. We did **market analysis**: determined competitors, studied up- and downsides of existing products, thought over the **future killer features** of Multy. It means we described plans for future development of our app!
**During that stage we:**
* found: Lead Android Developer Andrew, CTO and Lead Core Developer Vasily, Lead Golang Developer Cristina, Golang Developer Eugene, Pasha the C ++ Developer, two social media marketing specialists, bought a few macbooks, moved to a cool office and officially started a legal entity LLC ”Idealnaya rabota"
* defined Multy killer features: multiple currencies, simplicity of integration for new blockchains, high security solutions, single seed-phrase to all addresses, planned development of the watch and desktop versions and more.
* chose name for our project — “Multy" =)
