We are your blockchain development company in Cuba

We build blockchain products for companies in Cuba with our in-house team, starting from the fact that the Central Bank grants each virtual asset licence individually and for a limited term, and that United States sanctions are analysed separately.

Blockchain development in Cuba, from idea to production

We turn your use case into a product you can launch, operate and maintain. The same team designs the architecture, writes the contracts and connects them to your systems.

Tell us what you want to build

  1. The Cuban framework, from the architecture

    The BCC distinguishes a provider of virtual asset services to third parties, which needs a licence, from a company authorised only for its own operations. We settle that role, and the right each token represents, before choosing a network.

  2. Contracts ready for external review

    We write your business logic with tests and peer review, and prepare it for an independent audit and a phased deployment before it runs in production.

  3. In Spanish, on your time

    You work in Spanish with the people who design and write the code. Decision meetings are set within your working day in Havana, and everything else moves forward in writing, with shared documentation and a stable technical channel.

  4. A foundation ready to grow

    We hand over documented code, with deployments and monitoring planned, so your team can maintain the product and add features without rebuilding the foundation.

Use cases

Blockchain use cases in Cuba

Records the country already requires, from the provenance of a work of art to the risk assessment a licensed provider carries out before launching a product.

  • Canvases leaning against the wall of a painter's studio in a colonial house in Havana, with a person seen from behind wrapping a painting, artwork provenance with blockchain in Cuba

    Provenance of artworks

    The regulation of Law 155 requires a sworn statement of ownership and lawful acquisition to export a cultural good; every work keeps its provenance record.

    Blockchain for Art & Culture
  • Trays of vaccine vials in a quality control laboratory in Havana, with a technician seen from behind, vaccines released batch by batch with blockchain in Cuba

    Vaccines batch by batch

    CECMED releases every batch of vaccines and blood products one by one, and none is marketed without its certificate; each batch links its protocol and its certificate.

    Blockchain for Pharma
  • A protocol binder with coloured tabs on a desk in a hospital office in Havana, beside wooden louvred shutters, sealed clinical trial protocols with blockchain in Cuba

    Sealed trial protocols

    The Cuban Public Registry of Clinical Trials is a WHO primary registry; every version of a protocol and its amendments is sealed with its date.

    Blockchain for Digital Health
  • Two people seen from behind reviewing a bound report in a meeting room of a restored Old Havana building with an iron balcony, risk assessment for every product with blockchain in Cuba

    Risk before launch

    Resolution 76/2023 requires a VASP to assess money laundering risk before launching new products, practices or technologies; every assessment is dated.

Blockchain regulatory framework in Cuba

The Central Bank of Cuba authorises virtual asset service providers through individual one-year licences, renewable for a second year, after weighing whether they are appropriate and of socioeconomic interest and with the approval of the DGIOF, which also registers them for anti-money laundering purposes. Securities and other traditional financial assets fall outside that regime, and there is no documented general route for tokenising shares or real estate. United States sanctions are analysed separately.

Security

Security in blockchain development in Cuba

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.

Before mainnet

  • Roles and permissions defined for every critical function
  • Unit and invariant tests, and fuzzing on the logic that moves value
  • Static analysis and peer review of every change
  • Multisig and timelock on administration when the risk justifies it
  • Custody and rotation of the deployment keys agreed
  • External audit when the value at risk requires it

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about blockchain development in Cuba

What we are asked before a project starts.

Talk to our team

  1. Which regulations apply to a blockchain project in Cuba?

    BCC Resolution 89/2022 requires an individual licence to provide exchange, transfer, custody or issuance-related virtual asset services in or from Cuba, and Resolution 76/2023 adds registration with the DGIOF and AML controls. A foreign licence does not work as a passport. If the token represents shares, debt or real estate, that regime does not settle it. United States sanctions are reviewed separately, and we do not design products to get around them.

  2. Do you work with both startups and established companies?

    Yes. We support startups from MVP validation onwards, and established companies on traceability, document registry and compliance projects with demanding requirements. In every case, smart contracts go through tests and review before they reach mainnet.

  3. How do you work with Cuban companies?

    You speak Spanish, directly with the people who design and build the product. We keep meetings for decisions and place them in your working hours; the rest moves forward through shared documentation, written decisions and a stable technical channel.

  4. How long does blockchain development take?

    It depends on product complexity, integrations and the level of review it needs. Before development we set scope, dependencies and phase deliverables, so you can decide what reaches production first and what waits for a second iteration, without mistaking an MVP for the complete architecture.

  5. Which blockchain network is right for my project?

    The one the product requirements call for, not the trend of the moment. 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, with the product's users in mind.
