Hello, it’s Daniel!
Everybody is talking about their plans for 2024. But before we make our wishes on New Year’s night, we have time to recap, clean up, and realize if there’s anything missing regarding our projects. To have some kind of helicopter view over your blockchain development, I’ve brought some self-check materials from our internal documentation.
Hope you’ll find any of them helpful.
First and foremost—The Roadmap
Conceptualisation and planning
Technology selection
Architecture and design
Security measures
Performance
Development and testing
UX and interfaces
Compliance and legal issues
Deployment and maintenance
Monitoring and feedback
Checklist for your blockchain app development
…with comments from my team :)

Most projects don’t have a clear vision of their purpose at the start. In that case, keep iterating this stage from time to time. Experience will show you the way.

Our experience tells us that changes in this stage bring significant costs if they appear during other stages of development. So try to keep your dev toolbox minimalistic from the start.

It’s quite a resultative practice when you make your internal iteration of this step and then bring the results to an experienced consultant to view through. It’s still relatively easy to dive into context and reveal those mistakes that were missed. It will cost you less than you’ll change architecture on the go, but frankly speaking, that happens a lot too.

Yes, no matter how massive or “serious” your project is, security is a must for each. You have to be ready to protect your data and the data of your users and be ready to explain how you do it to them. The best security measure is always a transparent one, making everyone plan transparently.

Quite a great plan, right? We know that in practice blockchain app development is always a mix of all these steps at once, but by separating these stages, you’ll be able to grasp more control over the creation process and give it a chance to be visualized and interconnected.
