Some anniversaries are about numbers. Ours felt like a better moment to listen.
As we approached 10 years of Consider It Done Technologies, we didn’t want to publish a timeline of milestones or a list of achievements. Instead, we asked the people who make up the company today a simple question:
“What is CIDT to you in one word?”
The answers became a snapshot of who we are right now.
CIDT in one word
Looking at the words our team shared, one thing stood out immediately: Team.
It appeared again and again - alongside trust, growth, support, stability, freedom, warmth, friendship, quality. Some words were written carefully, others quickly. Some were bold, some quiet. But together, they formed a clear picture.
This wasn’t a branding exercise. It was a reflection.
A company where people feel safe to grow.
A place where professionalism and humanity coexist.
A team that values progress, without losing its soul.
How it started: work before a company
Consider It Done Technologies didn’t start with a business plan. It started with real work that needed to be done.
We didn’t start by building a company. We had a project before we had a company. We needed a legal entity because the work was already there.
Eugene Fine, Founder & CEO
Before there was a company, there was a project. A technically ambitious one. In the early days of blockchain (long before the buzzwords and documentation), we were already working on infrastructure-level challenges: consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and systems that hadn’t yet become mainstream.
Some of our earliest work involved blockchain solutions with tangible, real-world impact: from preventing counterfeit aircraft components through immutable ledgers, to foundational blockchain infrastructure that later became part of much larger ecosystems.
At the time, learning resources were few. Communities were small. Documentation was limited. Growth happened the hard way: by doing.
That approach - learning by doing - became one of the company’s defining traits.
Choosing the unknown
In those early years, growth often meant choosing uncertainty over comfort.
I had a choice between a project I already knew very well and blockchain - something I had never worked with before. There was almost no documentation, no community, no clear answers. I chose blockchain.
Ramil, CTO
People joined projects they had never worked on before. Developers picked unfamiliar technologies instead of safer, well-known stacks. Mistakes happened and were expected.
From the beginning, the focus wasn’t on being perfect. It was on being curious, resilient, and honest about what we didn’t yet know.
That mindset shaped not only how we built software, but how we built relationships - with each other and with our clients.
A culture built on purpose
Culture at Consider It Done Technologies didn’t emerge by accident. From the start, there were clear boundaries; not written on walls, but practiced daily.
No yelling.
No public blame.
No tolerance for toxicity - no matter how skilled someone might be.
Mistakes were treated as learning moments, not failures. Challenges were addressed directly, but with respect. Feedback was part of the process, not a threat.
Over time, this created something rare in distributed teams: psychological safety.
Across team responses, the same ideas kept coming up:
- feeling supported
- being trusted
- knowing that the team and leadership would stand behind you
This sense of safety made growth possible. Not just technical growth, but human growth.
You’re not afraid to make mistakes here. You know you’ll be supported, not blamed, and that makes it much easier to grow.
Marina, QA Lead
This approach to culture and collaboration didn’t happen by accident. Our CEO shares more about the principles behind it, and what truly sets CIDT apart, in this article: What Makes CIDT Different
Growing up without losing ourselves
Over ten years, the company changed significantly. We grew from a handful of people to a global team. We began working with larger clients, across multiple projects at once. Our processes matured. Agile became not just an intention, but a consistent practice.
There were growing pains. Periods when the scale moved faster than the structure. Moments where people wore multiple hats just to keep things moving. But those phases passed.
Today, delivery is more structured. Responsibilities are clearer. Teams are supported by processes designed to scale, without becoming rigid.
What didn’t change was the atmosphere. Even as the company matured, the environment remained collaborative, friendly, and grounded in mutual respect.
I didn’t know how to build culture the right way, but I knew exactly how not to do it. I didn’t want to work in a place where people are against each other. I wanted to build a place where I enjoy working with people and where they enjoy working together.”
Eugene Fine, Founder & CEO
Growth didn’t replace culture - it reinforced it.
From projects to partnerships
Over the years, our work has taken many forms - from early blockchain infrastructure experiments to long-term partnerships supporting complex, production-grade systems.
Some of these projects became important milestones not just for our clients, but for the broader ecosystem as well.
Among them:
- IBC Integration with Avalanche - a foundational blockchain project where we delivered one of the earliest IBC integrations within the Avalanche ecosystem, contributing to interoperability at scale.
- Blockchain Infrastructure Deployment & VaaS with Onino - an ongoing partnership focused on building and maintaining resilient blockchain infrastructure, built on trust, technical depth, and long-term collaboration.
- Trading Automation & Infrastructure (Genesis Block) - a long-term partnership combining Web3 financial strategy with robust technical execution, where we handle complex infrastructure so our partners can focus on growth.
These projects differ in scope and technology, but they share the same foundation: trust, clarity, and shared responsibility.
Our work, in practice
What matters to us just as much as what we build is how we work together.
Many of our client relationships grow into long-term partnerships. In some cases, we’ve been working side by side for over 1,000 days, steadily building, releasing, and refining products together.
Long-term work means staying close.
Across ongoing projects, we’re in daily contact with our clients. In shared Slack channels alone, teams exchange thousands of messages every year, discussing product improvements, resolving issues, and making decisions together in real time. It’s not about being “available.” It’s about being genuinely involved.
Behind every metric is a conversation.
Behind every release is a collaboration.
Behind every long-term partnership - people working through challenges side by side.
That’s what steady progress looks like to us.
Who we want to remain
Ten years in, we’re proud - not only of what we’ve built, but of how we’ve built it. We want to continue growing: in expertise, in quality, in relevance. We want to stay flexible, curious, and open to change. And above all, we want to remain a place where people feel safe to grow together. Because in the end, the most important thing we’ve built over the past decade isn’t a product or a platform.
It’s a Team.
Thank you to everyone who shared their words, stories, and memories, and to everyone who has been part of this journey so far.
