Research

Research is where our core work starts. We prototype at the edges of blockchain, AI, and distributed systems: hardware that holds keys and signs transactions, firmware that talks to chains directly, and protocols that let machines and agents coordinate without a central server.

Some of it ships into client work, some of it stays a hack. All of it sharpens how we build.

Hardware & Protocol R&D

On-chain access control

On-chain access control

Door controllers and readers wired to cryptographic identity. Wallet signatures and on-chain credentials replace badge databases, and every entry leaves a verifiable, tamper-evident log.

3D printed prototypes

3D printed prototypes

Complex functional assemblies engineered in CAD and produced in-house: hardware signers, sensor nodes, and edge AI rigs with working mechanisms and integrated electronics, taken from concept to tested hardware in rapid iteration cycles.

Secure firmware

Secure firmware

Embedded software with on-device key management, signed updates, and lightweight cryptography, so microcontrollers can sign, verify, and talk to blockchains and AI agents directly.

Novel communication protocols

Novel communication protocols

Experimental peer-to-peer transports, mesh and low-bandwidth radio links, and authenticated messaging schemes for devices and AI agents that need to coordinate, settle, and trust each other without a central server.
