The end of May brought important updates across De.Fi Ecosystem – from practical insights on building better software to growing our free security features and opening new roles on the team.
“We’ll fix it later” – A Common Mistake with Real Costs
Our CTO, Artem, shared a thread about one of the most common traps in software – putting off fixes for later.
He explained why “later” rarely comes, and how small problems often grow into big ones if not addressed early. It’s not about writing perfect code, it’s about being clear on what still needs work, tracking it properly, and making time for regular cleanups.
“Most shortcuts don’t save time. They just delay the cost, and make it worse,” he wrote.
Even 15 minutes of cleanup each week can make a difference. Good engineers don’t just ship fast, they leave space to improve what they build.
De.Fi Audit Database – Now Over 9,100 Reports
In May, we reached a major milestone, the De.Fi Audit Database now features over 9,100 verified security reports.
This free tool allows DeFiers to search and filter audits by project name, token, blockchain, auditor, or contract address, making it faster than ever to find the exact information they need.
Each report includes essential details such as the number of issues found, the date of the latest audit, and the auditors involved.
Whether you’re an investor looking to vet a project, a developer wanting to avoid past mistakes, or a researcher tracking security trends, the Audit Database is built to support your work.

Focus is a CTO’s Real Skill
In another post, our CTO, Artem, talked about the danger of trying to do too much at once.
“If everything’s a priority, nothing is,” he wrote.
He shared how unclear goals slow down teams, burn out developers, and lead to poor decisions. Saying “no” to some tasks is hard, but necessary. Teams move faster and build better when priorities are clear and focused.
That’s a Wrap for May
May ended with important reminders about writing better code, staying focused, and supporting the DeFi space with stronger tools and a growing team. We’re excited to keep this momentum going into June, with clearer goals and a sharper focus on what matters.
