We build blockchain products for companies in Qatar with our in-house team, starting from the Qatar Financial Centre framework, which gives legal effect to tokens representing rights and excludes cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
Tell us about your project
We take your use case to a product that can be launched, operated and extended. The same team designs the architecture, writes the contracts and connects them to your systems.
Tell us what you want to buildWe first check that the right fits the QFC framework and who validates, generates, holds in custody and transfers it. The design covers what happens if a key is lost and leaves out cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, which the framework excludes.
We build your business logic with tests and peer review, and prepare the code for an external audit and a progressive deployment before going into production.
You work in English, or in Spanish if your team prefers, with the people who design and write the code, with meetings inside your working day and follow-up in writing.
We document the code and plan deployments and monitoring, so your team can maintain the product and add features on a foundation it understands.
We cover the full Web3 product lifecycle, from idea and MVP through to mainnet, audits and maintenance.
Scope not defined yet? Start with blockchain consulting
In the QFC, transferring a permitted token transfers the right it represents, and Qatar already certifies how its buildings are built; these cases start there.
In the QFC, owning a permitted token confers the right it represents, after a certificate validates the owner; if the property lies outside the center, its registry governs.
Blockchain for Real Estate
Trading and settling Investment Tokens in the QFC requires permitted tokens and a designation published by the QFCRA; holding their keys can be regulated custody.
Blockchain for Banking & Finance
Since 2010, Qatar's construction specifications (QCS) have required GSAS certification; each design, construction or operations certificate stays linked to its evidence.
Blockchain for Energy & Sustainability
If the owner loses the means to transfer a token, they can ask the QFC Court to cancel it; the design plans for that route and for proof of ownership.
Blockchain for Legaltech & ComplianceOur 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.
EVM contracts, tokens and final settlement on an open Proof of Stake network.
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.
Polygon PoS: EVM contracts secured by its own validators, with low fees.
Programs, accounts and parallel execution on a high-throughput layer 1.
Audited Solidity contracts for tokens, access control and upgradeable systems.
The route to tokenization in Qatar runs through the Qatar Financial Centre: its Digital Asset Regulations, in force since September 1, 2024, recognize tokens representing rights and treat cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as excluded tokens. The QFCA licenses token services and the QFCRA authorizes regulated financial activities. Outside the center, the Central Bank (QCB) and the QFMA have their own powers, and a QFC license does not by itself open the rest of the Qatari market.

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 teamInside the QFC, the 2024 Digital Asset Regulations and, for financial rights, the Investment Token Rules. Each service (validation, generation, custody, market or transfers) needs a QFCA license, plus QFCRA authorization if it is a regulated financial activity. Validation, in this regime, means establishing who owns the right, not running a node. Cryptocurrencies and stablecoins are excluded, and outside the center the QCB and the QFMA must be assessed. We analyze the fit of your case before writing any code.
Yes. We support startups from MVP validation to a product they can take into a funding round, and established companies on tokenization, traceability and digital identity projects with strict compliance requirements. In every case, smart contracts go through tests and review before they reach mainnet.
In English or in Spanish if your team prefers, in direct contact with the people who design and build the product. Meetings are scheduled during your working hours, and the work moves forward through shared documentation, decision meetings and a stable technical channel.
Timing depends on product complexity, integrations and the level of review required. Before development we define scope, dependencies and deliverables for each phase, so you can decide what reaches production first and what waits for a second iteration, without mistaking an MVP for a complete architecture.
We do not pick it by trend. For EVM projects we assess Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum or Base on finality, costs, tooling, interoperability, custody and compliance, and we consider non-EVM networks when they fit better. In the QFC, how control over the power to transfer the token is held also matters, because ownership depends on it. The recommendation covers contracts, indexing, wallets and operations.
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.
