Key Achievements
- Product Evolution:
- The year began with a focus on reshaping DexGuru, a DeFi trading terminal offering real-time trading analytics across 180 decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and 18 blockchain networks. Over time, this evolved into a broader ecosystem under the Guru Network umbrella.
- Major updates included the launch of DexGuru V2, featuring enhanced functionalities like portfolio tracking, token profiles, and advanced analytics.

- Ecosystem Expansion:
- The Guru Network expanded its framework to include applications like Burning Meme (a meme coin platform) and integrated AI processors into various decentralized apps (dApps).
- Partnerships with communities like Miles Deutscher and Kyle Chasse further embedded Guru’s AI tools into crypto trading ecosystems.
