Discuzz Network is the world's first video chat platform integrated into the Web3 space, offering enhanced usability, data protection, and advanced functionality.


I led the Discuzz Network project from concept to successful acquisition, overseeing the full lifecycle — from product strategy and design to development and launch. The platform was built as a suite of interconnected tools for modern communication and professional networking, combining real-time video, social discovery, and Web3 technologies. The system was divided into three purpose-driven products, each tailored to distinct user needs but united by a consistent design system and scalable architecture:


1) Discuzz Video – A smooth, real-time video conferencing platform optimized for browser-based group calls. Key focus areas included low-latency streaming, cross-device compatibility, and intuitive UI for frictionless meetings.


2) Discuzz FindMe – A hybrid concept inspired by LinkedIn and Reddit, designed for professional discovery and social engagement. It allowed users to build profiles, share content, and network based on interests or industry — with community-driven features like upvotes, categories, and threaded discussions.


3) Discuzz Web3 – A crypto-native extension that enabled users to connect their crypto wallets and transfer project-related tokens securely. This functionality laid the foundation for incentivized participation and DAO-like collaboration within the network.


The platform was built to scale quickly and adapt to market feedback. Within just seven months, the product reached a point where it attracted acquisition interest — and was successfully sold. Throughout the process, I was responsible for technical leadership, UI/UX design, front-end and back-end development, and team coordination. The MVP launches for alpha testing in December 2024, in partnership with Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and 500 testers.

/ The project

Development Process

We started by defining the core functionalities and creating an intuitive design. Next, we developed the front-end using React and Next, and the back-end with Node.js, MongoDB, integrating Clerk and Stream. After thorough testing, we deployed the app, which includes video chat, a networking platform, and a crypto transfer tool for withdrawing tokens.
