INDUSTRY Β· CRYPTO & BLOCKCHAIN

Crypto platforms your users can trust with their funds.

We build exchanges, custody systems, wallets and Web3 apps for crypto businesses across the UAE. Our Dubai-based engineers know VARA's rulebook, write secure smart contracts, and have shipped to mainnet for teams handling real money. Security and uptime are not extras here. They are the product.

How we think about crypto builds

Secure by design on day one, not after the first incident.

Crypto products fail in public. A bad smart contract costs millions. A leaked seed phrase ends a business. We treat key management, contract upgrades, and incident response as core product decisions from the first sprint. Boring on purpose, because boring is what stays standing.

What we build

Six things we ship for crypto teams.

Most engagements pair one platform build with two or three add-on services.

Flagship

Exchange & order book platforms

Spot and derivatives platforms with low-latency matching engines, custody, KYC, and admin tools. Built for VARA and similar regulators, with audit trails ready before the first inspection.

  • β†’Matching engine & market data feeds
  • β†’Hot/warm/cold custody flows
  • β†’KYC, AML & sanctions screening
  • β†’Admin, surveillance & reporting
Service

Smart contracts & DeFi

Solidity and Rust contracts with paired audits and CI test coverage from day one.

Service

Wallets & MPC custody

Non-custodial wallets and MPC-based institutional custody flows for real users.

Flagship

Tokenisation & RWA platforms

End-to-end platforms for tokenising real-world assets like real estate, treasuries and private credit. Issuance, transfer agent logic, KYC gating, and reporting all wired together.

  • β†’Asset issuance & lifecycle
  • β†’Transfer agent & cap table
  • β†’Investor portal & KYC
  • β†’Reporting & tax documents
Service

Indexers & data infra

Chain indexers, analytics pipelines and oracle integrations that scale with traffic.

Service

Security & audit prep

Threat models, fuzzing, formal verification scaffolding, and audit-firm coordination.

What you'll see in six months

Real numbers from crypto clients.

We measure these because our retainers depend on them. None of the numbers below are theoretical.

$120M+
Value secured by our code

Live on mainnet across exchanges, custody, and tokenisation deployments. Zero exploit losses to date.

12ms
p95 matching latency

Median for the order book platforms we have shipped. Within range of established global venues.

100%
Of contracts independently audited

Every contract we ship to mainnet is audited by an outside firm before launch. No exceptions.

90 days
To VARA-aware readiness

We help product, compliance and engineering align so VARA reviews are calmer, not crisis events.

Our tech choices for crypto

Battle-tested chains and stacks our team owns end to end.

We pick chains and tools we have shipped to mainnet before. Most of what we build runs on EVM-compatible networks, with Solana for high-throughput use cases.

Contracts

Solidity on EVM chains, Rust for Solana. We pair every contract with audits and CI fuzz tests.

Next.jsReactTypeScriptTailwindshadcn/uiReact Native
Backend services

Node, Go and Rust. Built to handle market-data fan-out, idempotent settlement, and reorg-aware indexing.

NodeGoPythonGraphQLgRPCOpenAPI
Data & analytics

Postgres for product data. ClickHouse for trade and on-chain analytics. Event streams via Kafka for real-time.

Wallets & custody

Account abstraction patterns, MPC libraries, and HSM-backed institutional flows when the use case demands.

React, Next.js and React Native. Web3 wallet flows tested across browsers, hardware wallets and mobile dapp browsers.

How to work with us

Three ways crypto teams hire us.

We are transparent about pricing during scoping. The smallest engagement starts around the cost of one senior in-house hire.

Audit-prep & Stack Review

A two-week review of your code, contracts, and operations before audit or launch.

For

Teams about to enter mainnet or VARA review who want fewer surprises

  • Smart contract code review
  • Infrastructure & key management review
  • Written 30/60/90-day remediation plan
  • Executive presentation
From the cost of one senior engineer for a week

Most chosen

Embedded Crypto Engineering Team

A senior pod that ships contracts and platform features alongside your team every sprint.

For

Growth-stage crypto firms shipping new products, markets, or regulatory features

  • 3 to 6 senior engineers + a lead
  • Solidity / Rust + backend specialists
  • Daily overlap with your timezone
  • Quarterly outcome commitments
Our most popular option. Let's talk scope and price.

Security & Reliability Retainer

We take ownership of your contract upgrades, key rotation, monitoring and incident response.

For

Live exchanges and custody firms past PMF that need a steady security partner

  • Upgrade pipeline & rehearsals
  • Threat modelling & fuzzing
  • On-call & incident drills
  • Audit firm coordination

Small decisions, big impact

The choices that keep funds safe.

Crypto products live and die by a handful of decisions made in the first quarter. We spend most of our attention there and leave clever for testnets.

01
Keys never live in one place

MPC for hot operations, HSMs for warm, cold for the rest. No engineer, vendor or process ever holds a complete signing key.

02
Upgrades are rehearsed, not improvised

Every contract change is run on a forked mainnet before production. Roll-backs are tested. Nothing ships from a Slack message.

03
Watch the chain, not just the app

On-chain monitoring, oracle drift alerts, and mempool watchers run from week one. The exploit you do not see is the one that takes the funds.

How an engagement runs

From first call to live on mainnet.

Week 1
Listen & learn

We review your contracts, infrastructure, and team. We listen for the quiet risks: an unaudited admin function, a single signer, a slow rollback path.

Week 2
Written plan

Milestones, risks, and what we would do first. We share trade-offs honestly, including work we would recommend you do not do.

Week 3
We start shipping

Our senior pod is in your repos. Contract changes go through CI, fork tests, and audit rounds. Your team owns merges, we own the cadence.

Quarterly
Outcome reviews

We measure against the outcomes we agreed on. The people who start with you are the same people working with you in month six.

What our crypto clients say
SKIMBOX rebuilt our matching engine and custody flows in three months. Latency dropped, our auditors signed off faster, and we passed our first VARA review without a single follow-up question.

FAQ

The questions we hear most often.

Yes. Our team has shipped products through VARA review for exchange, custody and broker-dealer licences. We work alongside your compliance counsel, not around them, and we build the technical controls and evidence pipelines auditors actually look for.
