**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
