We build blockchain products for companies in Austria with our in-house team, preparing each project for what the FMA examines under MiCA: the real operating model, who is accountable to the client and whether the token is in fact a security.
Tell us about your project
We take your use case to a product you can launch, operate and extend. One team designs the architecture, writes the contracts and integrates them with your systems.
Tell us what you want to buildThe FMA reviews a CASP's business model and may examine its managers orally. We first define which entity contracts with the client, who controls the keys and what each participant provides, and we check whether the tokenized right has become a security.
We write your business logic with tests and peer review, and prepare every contract, documented, for an external audit. Deployment happens in stages before it runs in production.
You work in English, or in Spanish if your team prefers, directly with the people who design and write the code, with meetings inside your working day.
We hand over documented code with deployments and monitoring planned. Your team gets a technical foundation for maintaining the product and adding features.
We cover the full Web3 product lifecycle: idea, MVP, mainnet deployment, audits and maintenance.

Cases built on records Austria already keeps, from the pumpkin seed oil banderole to E-Control's guarantees of origin.
Every bottle of Steirisches Kürbiskernöl g.g.A. carries a banderole with an individual, consecutive control number; the record links that number to the oil mill and the harvest.
Blockchain for Agribusiness
Since 2015 Austria has banned the sale of electricity of unknown origin; every renewable MWh carries a guarantee of origin with a unique number in E-Control's database.
Blockchain for Energy & Sustainability
The FMA warns that a standardized, transferable crowdfunding right can be a security, and representing a building's rental income does not confer co-ownership of it.
Blockchain for Real Estate
AKM asks for the program of every live performance to be reported so royalties reach authors and publishers accurately; the record links concert, works and distribution.
Blockchain for Music & MediaOur stack covers every layer of your product: smart contracts, blockchain networks and integration with your systems. We use it to build, test and deploy software tailored to your business.
The smart contract language for verifiable rules on EVM networks.
Performance and memory safety for contracts, nodes and Web3 tooling.

An environment to compile, test and deploy contracts on EVM networks from Node.
Solidity tests, invariant fuzzing and command-line tooling for EVM networks.
Oracles for external data, randomness and cross-chain messaging for contracts.

Programs, accounts and parallel execution on a high-throughput layer 1.
Audited Solidity contracts for tokens, access control and upgradeable systems.
Austria applies MiCA through the MiCA-VVG, which designates the FMA as competent authority; the Oesterreichische Nationalbank cooperates on specific tasks concerning ART and EMT issuers, but it is not an alternative route for authorization. The former provider register stopped authorizing operations on December 31, 2025. Tokenized securities fall outside MiCA, and the FMA warns that standardizing a right and making it transferable can turn it into a transferable security.

Every delivery goes through the same checklist before it reaches mainnet. What changes between projects is the depth of each control, because an MVP does not carry the same risk as a contract that holds third-party funds.
What we are asked before a project starts.
Talk to our teamMiCA governs crypto-asset issuance and services, and the MiCA-VVG applies it in Austria with the FMA as authority. A CASP applies to the FMA through the Incoming Plattform; certain financial entities use the Article 60 notification. If the token is a security, investment or crowdfunding rules come in. The FMA sandbox can narrow the scope of a test, but it does not suspend the law. We analyze the fit of your case before writing any code.
Yes. With startups we work from MVP validation to a product ready to show in a funding round; with established companies, on tokenization, traceability and digital identity projects with demanding compliance requirements. Either way, smart contracts go through tests and review before they reach mainnet.
In English or Spanish, in direct contact with the people who design and build the product. Meetings fit into your working day, and the work is organized through shared documentation, decision meetings and a stable technical channel.
It depends on product complexity, the systems that need integrating and the level of review required. Before development we set the scope, dependencies and deliverables of each phase, so you can decide what reaches production first and what waits for a second iteration. From the start, the plan separates an MVP from a complete architecture.
The one your product requirements call for, not the one in fashion. For EVM projects we compare Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum or Base on finality, costs, tooling, interoperability, custody and compliance, and we consider non-EVM networks when they fit better. The recommendation covers contracts, indexing, wallets and operations, and takes into account who the product is for.
Tell us about your case and we'll propose architecture, timeline and budget within a week.
We work remotely with teams throughout the country, and on site where the project calls for it.
MiFID II and tokens: financial instrument classification, investment services and the distinction from MiCA before designing an issuance.
Compare the legal product, risks, fees and exit terms of each real estate crowdfunding platform. Funds, loans and direct interests are not equivalent.
From the problem to deployment: architecture, network choice, tokens, testing and operations for a blockchain project with a verifiable scope.
