Products in interesting ecosystems
Want more developers to build on top of your protocol or in your ecosystem? We love to quickly build, launch and run new products. We always go the extra mile and therefore prefer grants and incentive-aligning compensation

Development of user-friendly frontends for blockchain-based protocols
The main complexity of crypto frontends is to guide users through multiple steps to achieve their desired outcome and to only display relevant information from the blockchain to not overwhelm them. We’ve developed UIs to participate in crypto auctions (Dutch and English style), interfaces for using flash loans and callee contracts and interfaces to display and manage tokens locked inside the protocol.
Governance payload development and review
Upgrading protocols like Sky (MakerDAO) requires an extreme attention to details For that, we created and follow an extensive security checklists (a list of around 200 different checks per payload) in combination with usual github code reviews to ensure the safety of the protocol. Example review produced by our team. The excerpt of the checklist with 7/200 completed checks:
Smart Contract Development
We used our full-stack knowledge of the blockchain to develop a callee contract in solidity that uses flash loan functionality to participate in Sky (MakerDAO) collateral auctions without requiring capital by using routing data from 1inch. The additional complexity of the 1inch callee was that the routing data is off-chain, which forces developers to think outside the box during implementation, testing, and integration of the contract. The code of the contract was approved by the Sky (MakerDAO) famous protocol engineering team.
Development of decentralized and censorship-resistant web applications
We packaged a mission-critical crypto application to be runnable on the end-user machine without requiring technical knowledge in the event of provider-outage or staged ddos attack. The electron-based desktop app can be launched with a single click. It will prompt users to provide an Ethereum RPC URL of their choice and then will run as expected without any external dependencies. Once updated, it will also suggest the users to update to the newer version.
Development of dev tools to enhance overall security of the ecosystem
We won the Eth Global Superhack hackathon by developing the tool to properly review smart contracts on-chain, using code attestation to store hash of the contract in the blockchain. More about the project and the prizes we received from Optimism, Base, EAS and Mode can be found here.
