You really never know how popular your product is until you let the public at it,” Benyamin says.

Benyamin worked as a developer on the team and also as technical support. Moreover, he helped with creating the project’s web app and smart contract with the help of his father, Imran.
“I have been working closely with the NFH team since the beginning,” Ahmed says. “The Weird Whales community has taught me a lot about what works and doesn’t work, and so I brought the experiences I had there with me.”
