- Troubleshooting deployed Beacons and redeploying any updates regularly
- Meeting with potential partners to discuss the technical steps to start offering a Web3 service
- Building proofs-of-Concept and marketing materials to display Airnode’s capabilities
- Being a technical contact in meetings and discussions with partners to provide live support

Cycle #5 Deliverables Achieved
- Tested ChainAPI functionality and recommended new functionality based on common pitfalls
- Deployed production-ready Airnodes using multiple cloud providers and regions for redundancy
- Developed more Proofs-of-Concept around Airnode’s features for potential partnerships
- Met weekly with providers for dAPIs to implement any necessary changes
- Worked with developers to integrate Airnode into their dApps
Deliverables:
The goal of the Integration Team in the fifth cycle is to help build a large user base for Airnode and dAPIs. We’ll be working closely with the Business Development, Ecosystem, and Marketing teams in a Developer Advocacy role to bring in new users for our products. We will be meeting with development teams, building proofs-of-concept, writing tutorials and articles, and taking a more active role in the Web3 developer community. We will also be working closely with dAPI users to help build their Web3 solutions to a production-ready state.
Another priority of the Integration Team will be to help the Core Development Team scale beacons and dAPIs. We will be meeting with dAPI providers as often as every week to ensure that their beacons are up-to-date and running smoothly. We will also assist in doing beacon contract deployments on new chains whenever possible as well as assisting ChainAPI users with their integration needs.
