Back to collectionA Thinner Market Meets a Tighter Engineering Handoff
The February–March preview had just placed Xai Play, Raijin, and the DAO on one schedule, while only two people remained on chain-side duty. XAI slid to $0.15, and trading volume kept shrinking. The preview had drawn no immediate response in the price, and the staffing change was beginning to shape the pace of work.

The February–March preview had just placed Xai Play, Raijin, and the DAO on one schedule, while only two people remained on chain-side duty. As A-Zhen began work on the new project, her colleagues had to decide which routine questions to handle now and which needed her handoff.
XAI slid to $0.15, and trading volume kept shrinking. In the group, someone challenged the team by setting the falling price beside the previous day’s preview. The duty engineers faced a smaller immediate question: should they answer an integration query themselves or send it to A-Zhen? They decided first to gather the existing material the query required, then leave only the part involving a judgment about the new project for her, avoiding repeated interruptions over a single request.
The preview had drawn no immediate response in the price, and the staffing change was beginning to shape the pace of work. The chain-side colleagues planned to use this division for the next questions. Where old chain work met the new project, A-Zhen would still need to make a call; whether the handoff would run smoothly remained to be seen.
