Revuto’s First ICO Anniversary in Numbers

Products shipped. User base milestones crushed. And we’ve only just begun.

Revuto ICO: First Anniversary

This past year has been filled with many ups and downs in the world of crypto. It’s definitely been tough a lot more than it’s been easy. But that’s why we truly appreciate all of the supporters who have stayed with us through thick and thin; bull and bear.

It seems incredible, but a whole year has already passed since our historic ICO.

The first-ever ICO on Cardano sold out in minutes, smashing milestones in user base growth, CEX listings, the first-ever mobile DEX, and so much more.

Time truly flies when you’re working hard, capturing market share, and shipping new product features like Revuto does!

But now that we have brought it up, 365 days is a lot. And given the amount of work our team has squeezed in, we wanted to assemble a review of all of the metrics, milestones, features, partnerships, and team members that have been behind it.

1. Funds raised, users joined, and wallets created:

The historic first-ever Public ICO on Cardano has given us not only funds, but also a vast and growing user base.

10M USD raised
3M people waitlisted
350K users
60K wallets created

2. Mobile app available on iOS, Google Play, and Huawei AppGallery:

Stop subscriptions stealing money out of your pocket!

Our mobile app, initially launched in August 2021, is evolving and continuously getting better, faster, and more robust. Due to our global user base, we expanded our presence to include the Huawei AppGallery, added a non custodial wallet, and now has even announced the first mobile DEX ever.

The development team continues to crush our roadmap, delivering not only what was promised in the whitepaper but actually over-delivered, with more surprise features scheduled for H2 of this year.

We want to remind everyone that Revuto was the first to introduce the Cardano Lite wallet for mobile devices, and this is only the foundation for all other crypto-related features we’ll be adding to the ecosystem.

Our Staking Center gives investors the option to stake REVU and ADA to earn some amazing rewards…right from your mobile phone!

In June 2022, we’ll be introducing our Subscription Management service with a password sharing feature.

Our signature DEX and R token will follow in August.

Conclusion of our short but packed two-month roadmap will see the launch of both our custodial wallet and Virtual Debit Cards.

Check out some app specifics:

29 production builds
340 internal builds
121,000 lines of code
90 APIs

3. Aggregate community numbers:

One of the biggest and fastest-growing community on Cardano — Revuto — is best in expressed numbers: almost 1.5 million subscribers for our fantastic newsletter (If you’re not already a subscriber, make sure you go to revuto.com and become one today!) that have received over 80 newsletter in the past 365 days. Combine this with our social media following and members of international groups and you get Revutonians — the biggest group on Cardano.

All social media followers combined: 114,669
Total number of newsletters: 80 newsletters
Total number of newsletter subscribers: 1.45 million subscribers
Number of members in international groups: ~16,200 members

4. Partnerships and staking pools:

If you haven’t downloaded our app and explored our Staking Center, you are missing out on the biggest yield opportunity on Cardano. A total of 8 staking pools with more than 34M REVU staked have been offered to investors. If you are interested in meeting our Biz Dev team, make sure you check out our conference plans and meet us face to face.

Number of staking pools: 8
Total number of staked tokens: over 34 million

5. Industry Conferences:

Revuto is committed to being present and supporting the world of crypto, fintech, and innovation in general. That’s why both the company and individuals that represent it participate in events where we can show this active presence in the world of technology and focus on the future.

Our marketmaker SkyNet Trading continues to support us in maintaining a healthy volume at all times while the entire Revuto team focuses on long-term perspectives for delivering the most value to all token holders and customers.

We can also point out that our official ATH was on the first day of our listing, which was also the highest volume ever.

To be specific, over 100 media outlets in a matter of a year with news on our ICO, our investment pool called the R fund, our first ever and fastest growing Cardano wallet, our award for the fastest growing fintech solution, and more.

over 100 press and media coverage pieces in multiple languages and through a variety of markets

Plus we have been supported and mentioned directly by all of the top Cardano ecosystem leaders and builders like IOHK, Cardano Foundation, Cardano Feed, Cardano Daily, Cardano Feed, Cardano Live Podcast, and Learn Cardano.

13. Work Strategy:

One of the strongest parts of the Revuto project is its work setup. Although all team members work remotely, Revuto has an advantage over other crypto-projects in its relatively centralized team when talking about where the team members come from. In short, most of the team members are primarily based (living) in Zagreb, Croatia. This is something that helps in situations when the team needs to meet in-person to solve particular tasks and/or problems. In that regard, Revuto decided to use a setup in which the members of the development team have daily meetings scheduled with external partners, heads of department have weekly meetings with their team members, the whole team has office days, weekly CEO talks, and 48-hour team-building events taking place twice a year. Living relatively close to each other, the Revuto team has formed a strong bond with each other and is regularly meeting even beyond officially scheduled meetings.

To help everybody fundamentally understand the ecosystem on top of which we’re building the product, we even hosted a weekly Cardano School headed by our Cardano expert Filip Blagojevic.

In this video you can witness the atmosphere present during Office Day:

12. Team members:

Revuto’s biggest asset is our team.

The people who stay up all night to answer your Telegram messages even when they may be impolite or offensive, who pull 3 all-nighters in a row after our infrastructure gets stress tested by incredible demand each time we publish a new feature…

Still, there are some notable positions we need to emphasize.

RUX — the CTO

Although our CTO Marko Rukonić is usually shy and hard to get on stage, he recently received his 27th patent. If you haven’t checked it out already, please feel free to check out his patent on the System and method for dimensionality reduction of vendor co-occurrence observations for improved transaction categorization — very relevant for our long-term vision of managing recurring payments based on transaction classification!

You can also check out some presentations he gave at the F2 Future of Fintech conference:
- Application of AI in granting loans to small businesses using bank transactions
- What happened to GameStop stock and how does short selling work?

VEX — the CEO

And then, of course, there’s our CEO, who often pops up on Telegram to answer your questions and responds to suggestions and ideas on Twitter. At the end of the day, we are all dedicating every spare moment to building this ecosystem and delivering value.

JOS — VP of External Communications and Strategy

When it comes to destroying the stage with her presence and eagerness to explain to the world what Revuto is, there’s our third co-founder, Josipa Majic. Josipa is that missing piece and a balance between the craziness and extrovertism of our CEO and introvertism of our deeply technical CTO.

Thank you for all of your support so far! We are looking forward to many more ICO anniversaries and milestones. Onwards and upwards!
