We use GitHub as the backbone of our development workflow to ensure transparency, code quality, and smooth collaboration across the team. GitHub allows us to manage version control, reviews, and releases in a structured way, which is especially important for a security-sensitive product like a crypto wallet. Pull requests, code reviews, and automated checks help us catch issues early and maintain a high standard as the product evolves.
