DumDumDeploy
DumDumDeploy was a Vercel-like platform for deploying and managing permaweb applications. It won Weavers Raid III and later evolved into ArLink, Arweave’s flagship deployment tool — now being developed by ArLinkLabs.
🌱 Origin
- Initially built as DumDumDeploy, focused on simple, fast permaweb deployments
- Designed to give developers a smooth experience similar to modern cloud platforms like Vercel
🚀 Evolution Into ArLink
- The platform grew beyond its MVP and was rebranded as ArLink
- Became the primary deployment tool recommended across the Arweave ecosystem
- The team behind ArLink went on to raise a seed round at a $2.5M valuation
🧩 My Role
- Built the original DumDumDeploy platform from the ground up
- Helped shape the early architecture and developer experience that ArLink is now built on
🎯 Why It Matters
- Made deploying permaweb apps simple, fast, and accessible
- Showed how web3 deployment tooling can match (or exceed) the UX of modern web platforms
- Set the foundation for ArLink — now a core part of the Arweave ecosystem
