Unfortunately
@qualty_agent is shutting down
It's been an interesting 3 months and I learned a lot along the way. However...
Qualty was built to help traders navigate the scammy landscape of larp launches - an autonomous agent that did the due diligence for you, digging through projects and flagging stuff before you even had a chance to look into it. And the tech itself genuinely worked. Heavy LLM engineering doing real autonomous research on every scan. That part I'm proud of
But the simple truth is that the utility meta Qualty was built for never fully formed. I still believe ICM is coming to pump fun but between the crypto winter, the lack of launches and the lack of real utility, the product just wasn't that useful to people right now. You can't find product-market fit in a market that doesn't yet exist
And the burn rate was big. Multiple API subscriptions added up to thousands in costs every month.
$QUALTY was supposed to cover that runway, but in utility plays the product is what drives value to the token and with no adoption, the token never got traction either. No adoption, no token, no runway. That's the whole story
Lost 5 figs between the tech expenses and supporting the token, and for a while it genuinely felt like I failed. In hindsight, failing as a team is an experience we needed. I still stand by quality over quantity. The core problem (to scale tf out) with both of our platforms was the same - the audience was too niche, and the problems we were solving only exist under specific market conditions (utility/streaming). When these conditions shift (or never come to fruition in this case) the project loses interest
I'm taking those lessons with me. And honestly, bear market is the best time to figure out product-market fit for whatever is coming next
See you all in the trenches.
