Web3 MVP development

We take a Web3 idea to a working proof of concept in 2-6 weeks or a market-ready MVP in 6-12 weeks: contracts, backend and frontend, scoped to the features that prove the idea. Our team comes from hackathons, so cutting scope to what matters is a habit.

We reply within 24 hours, usually the same business day.

PoC & MVP Development

Build the smallest thing that proves it

Most first versions try to do too much. We start by agreeing on the one question the build has to answer, for example whether users will deposit at all. Features that do not help answer it wait for later.

We write the PoC so the parts that work carry over into the MVP. You keep the contracts and data model that proved themselves, and the next phase adds to them instead of starting again.

What we offer

What we build

01

Concept Refinement

We turn the idea into a feature list and a single test of success, then cut what does not serve that test.

02

Rapid Development

Contracts, a small backend and a usable frontend, shipped to testnet in weekly increments.

03

Technical Validation

We look for the hard parts early, such as gas costs, chain limits and third-party APIs. You hear about problems in week two, when they are cheap to fix.

04

Evolution Planning

A plan for the next step: what to keep, what to rewrite, what the audit has to cover and what the MVP adds.

Timeline

How long it takes

PoC: 2-6 weeks to test whether the idea works, with core contracts and a basic interface. MVP: 6-12 weeks to a product real users can try, with complete contracts, a usable interface, basic analytics and audit preparation. Full release: 12-24 weeks, including an external audit and scaling work.

FAQ

Questions founders ask before hiring us

What is the difference between a PoC and an MVP?

A PoC answers "can this work?" for you and your investors. An MVP answers "will people use it?" and is good enough to put in front of real users with real funds, which means tested contracts and audit preparation.

Does an MVP need a smart contract audit?

If it holds user funds on mainnet, yes, or at minimum a capped launch with strict limits until the audit is done. A testnet MVP can go out without one.

Can you build a crypto exchange MVP?

Yes, for DEXs and aggregators. We have built a DEX aggregator and a perpetual DEX. Our crypto exchange MVP guide covers what to build first and what to leave for later.

How much does it cost?

We quote after a short scoping call, because the price depends on how many contracts you need, which chains, how much backend and frontend work sits around them, and whether an external audit is in scope. You get a written estimate with scope and timeline before any work starts. Our blockchain app development cost guide lists typical market ranges by project type if you need a number for planning.

Consultation & Analysis

We learn what you are building, check the technical and business requirements, and recommend a scope and phase: PoC, MVP or full release.

Architecture & UX/UI Design

We pick the chain, design the contract architecture and data flow, and design the interface, including wallet and transaction states.

Development

We build the contracts, backend and frontend, connect them to your existing systems, and test functionality and security as we go.

Deployment

We deploy to mainnet after final security and performance checks, and an external audit where funds are at stake.

Post-Launch Support

We monitor the system, ship fixes and updates, and help you scale as usage grows.

Ready when you are

Tell us what you are building and where you are stuck. You get a reply from an engineer and a scoped estimate for a PoC, MVP or full launch. We reply within 24 hours, usually the same business day.
