Title: Proposal: BIM Mobile App
I suggest developing an official BIM Exchange app for Play Store and App Store. Currently, we only use browsers. A mobile app will improve user experience, increase accessibility, and boost the project’s credibility. Let’s make BIM easier to use
Thank you for your proposal — the idea of a BIM Mobile App is definitely interesting and valuable in the long term.
I’ve taken the liberty of moving your proposal into the “Ideas” section, as at this stage it is more of a development concept rather than a formal governance proposal.
At the moment, a native mobile application is not part of the BIM roadmap. The main reason is that building and maintaining an official app for both Play Store and App Store is extremely costly and technically complex — especially for a DeFi protocol.
A few important considerations:
Developing a secure mobile exchange app requires extensive engineering resources.
App Store and Play Store compliance for financial and crypto applications is increasingly strict.
Security audits for mobile infrastructure would be mandatory.
Ongoing operational and maintenance costs can easily reach several million dollars for a fully compliant, institutional-grade product.
Currently, decentralized finance adoption still happens primarily through browser-based Web3 interfaces (desktop and mobile browsers). Native apps are not yet the dominant standard in DeFi infrastructure.
It will be very interesting to observe how major protocols handle this transition. For example, the upcoming Aave V4 release could potentially set a new benchmark for mobile-native DeFi standards. Watching how industry leaders approach mobile architecture will give us better strategic clarity before committing significant capital.
At this stage, BIM’s priorities remain:
Strengthening protocol infrastructure
Security and audits
Treasury sustainability
Core exchange functionality
That said, a mobile app remains a potential long-term development direction once the protocol reaches greater scale and financial capacity.
Thank you again for contributing the idea — community input like this is important for shaping BIM’s future.
"Hi team,
Thanks for the detailed response! I totally understand the technical and financial hurdles you mentioned, especially regarding the App Store compliance and the high cost of maintenance. It makes sense to focus on the core infrastructure and treasury sustainability for now.
I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on how Aave V4 handles their mobile transition as well. I’m glad the idea is in the ‘Ideas’ section, and I look forward to seeing BIM grow to a stage where a native app becomes a reality.
Keep up the great work!"
