We are excited to announce that IdeaSoft has launched our very own in-house R&D unit, and we couldn’t be prouder of this major step forward. This initiative invites all our team members to join and actively participate. But what exactly is an internal R&D unit, and why is it so important?
Our R&D unit is formed from internal teams of employees who are dedicated to discovering innovations in the Web3 space. We generate new project ideas, build proof-of-concept, validate those concepts, and make strategic decisions about whether to develop them further. When a project shows promise, we create a dedicated team within the R&D unit to build the MVPs and bring it to market.
It started over a year ago when I realized the immense potential in building products — not just for the market, but for our team as well. The IdeaSoft R&D Unit wasn’t created to solve just one particular problem; its mission is to develop new products and unlock the full potential of both our company and our employees. It’s a space where people can be creative, experiment, learn new things, and grow both personally and professionally. After all, it only takes one success to outweigh previous failures, and that one success can lead to exponential growth for both the company and its specialists.

One of the first projects to emerge from our R&D unit is HookRank, a tool designed specifically to collect and analyze data on Uniswap V4 Hooks. HookRank provides detailed insights and analytics, enabling a better understanding of the performance and behavior of Uniswap V4 Hooks, empowering developers and crypto market investors to make more informed decisions.
Any IdeaSoft employee, regardless of their position, can participate in idea discussions, research new market trends, generate their own concepts, join hackathons, and work on developing POCs and MVPs. The specifics are discussed with each team member individually.
Key Objectives of the IdeaSoft R&D Unit
So now let’s dive into the main objectives our specialists will handle within the unit:
- Build POCs for various products, validate them, launch MVPs, participate in hackathons, and contribute to open-source/public goods projects.
- Consistently generate and test hypotheses to bring the best IT products to market, helping to develop and enrich the Ukrainian IT industry with more high-quality projects.
- Unlock the potential of the company and its employees, allowing them to build successful startups and achieve exponential professional growth.
- Create a space for creativity and self-realization, offering a platform for gaining hands-on experience with new technologies.
- Our goal for the next year is for the R&D unit to evolve into a startup factory, producing a steady stream of successful projects.
“As a company, it’s crucial for us to give our employees the opportunity to take an active role in developing new products and growing professionally,” says our CEO, Andriy Lazorenko. “This R&D unit fosters an environment for creativity, self-realization, and innovation testing, which can lead to the creation of successful startups that will shape the IT market and drive its development.”
We’re proud to be taking this step and look forward to seeing the great projects and innovative solutions that will emerge from our R&D unit.
