Gamified DeFi Ecosystem
A cross-chain 'Feed-to-Earn' staking dApp that gamified token holding with an L2 strategy.
“The founder wanted to launch 'FatPepe' not just as a token, but as a gamified ecosystem where holding tokens literally 'fed' the Pepe character, increasing his weight (and staking APY) over time.”
Gamifying DeFi state on-chain without breaking the bank. Updating the 'weight' of a character for thousands of holders in real-time on Ethereum Mainnet is prohibitively expensive due to gas fees.
I proposed an L2 strategy. We deployed the core token on Ethereum for liquidity but built the 'Feeding Game' logic on Arbitrum to minimize costs. We used a custom LayerZero bridge to sync the staking state between chains securely.
We built a Phaser.js game for the frontend to make the 'feeding' interactive. The backend used a serverless architecture (AWS Lambda) to handle the game state updates before batch-signing them to the L2 contract, ensuring a lag-free experience.
FatPepe became a viral hit, reaching a $50M market cap in 2 weeks. The gamified staking retention rate was 3x higher than standard staking contracts due to the addictive 'feeding' mechanic.
We wanted a meme coin that was actually fun to hold. Witsberry turned our silly idea into a sophisticated GameFi product.
We help founders and operators make the right technical decisions, the ones that save money, ship fast, and hold once real users show up.

The App Built to Own, Not Rent OutWeeksA licensed Qatar ride-hailing app for Hello Limousine, a limousine company running thousands of drivers and cabs, built after other vendors left them with an app they didn't fully own. Architected from day one to launch in a new GCC country in minutes, not months.
Designed to Be Trusted With MoneyWeeksA German fintech startup building broker comparisons, financial education, calculators, and a social trading community. Their own AI-generated mockup looked exactly like what it was, generic and untrustworthy for a product that handles people's money. Witsberry advised on the tech stack and designed and built the full product from scratch, then handed over a complete design system so their internal team could keep building without us.
