Protocol-level blockchain engineering & AI systems.

We build the parts below the smart-contract line — consensus, networking, cryptography, wallets, and node infrastructure — and the AI tooling that helps teams ship faster. For early-stage and growing companies.

Services

01 / lead practice

Blockchain protocol engineering

Layer-1 work below the smart-contract line: the node, the network, the cryptography, and the wallets that talk to it.

  • ›Consensus and block production
  • ›P2P networking and mempool
  • ›Zero-knowledge proofs and applied cryptography
  • ›Threshold signatures and multisig (FROST)
  • ›Wallets, light clients, and wallet servers
  • ›Hardware-wallet apps (Ledger, embedded Rust)
  • ›Node infrastructure, deployment, and observability
  • Rust
  • TypeScript
  • Iron Fish
  • Base

02

AI & agents

Practical AI that ships: product features built on LLMs, and engineering teams that get real leverage from coding agents.

  • ›LLM-powered product features
  • ›Agent workflows and tool integrations
  • ›Coding-agent rollout for engineering teams
  • ›Evals, guardrails, and reliability
  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • LLM APIs

03

Software engineering

Senior engineering for the parts of the product that have to be right the first time.

  • ›Full-stack product builds and MVPs
  • ›Backend services and APIs
  • ›Cloud infrastructure and DevOps
  • ›Mobile apps with native cores
  • TypeScript
  • Rust
  • React
  • Terraform

Engagements

Hourly or monthly retainer

Advisory

Architecture and protocol design reviews, security-minded code review, and a sounding board for hard technical calls.

Fixed scope

Build

A defined deliverable, scoped up front: a protocol feature, a wallet, an agent workflow, an MVP. Shipped, tested, documented.

Part-time, ongoing

Embed

A senior engineer inside your team part-time, in your standups and your repo, until the work no longer needs one.

Every engagement is scoped per project. Tell us what you need and we'll propose a shape.

Selected work

Iron Fish

Privacy layer-1

Full node for a privacy-focused cryptocurrency: consensus, P2P networking, mempool, and the wallet, with Rust cryptography under a TypeScript node.

  • TypeScript
  • Rust
  • zk-SNARKs

Wallet server

Light-client backend

Caching HTTP server that lets fully private light wallets run on nearly any device without a local node. Protobuf light blocks, OpenAPI endpoints.

  • TypeScript
  • Protobuf
  • OpenAPI

Process

  1. 01

    Call

    Thirty minutes on what you're building and where it's stuck.

  2. 02

    Scope

    A written plan: deliverables, risks, and how we'll know it's done.

  3. 03

    Build

    Short cycles, working code early, progress you can run yourself.

  4. 04

    Hand off

    Docs, tests, and a team that can own it without us.
