Get Your Free ICO ConsultationTrusted by Global Innovators and Market Leaders
An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a powerful fundraising mechanism that allows visionary projects to raise capital by issuing their own crypto tokens. However, navigating the maze of technology, security, and regulation is a monumental task. A poorly executed ICO not only fails to raise funds but can also lead to legal issues and reputational damage. This is where a strategic development partner becomes your most critical asset.

Our expert developers write clean, efficient, and highly secure smart contracts on leading platforms like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. Every contract undergoes rigorous internal and optional third-party audits to eliminate vulnerabilities and ensure flawless execution.
Key Outcomes

We also develop a professional marketing website (landing page) that serves as the central hub for your project, showcasing your whitepaper, team, roadmap, and attracting potential investors.
Key Outcomes

- A high-conversion landing page that effectively communicates your project's value proposition.

Key Outcomes
- A secure fundraising environment that protects investor funds and project integrity.
- Adherence to regulatory standards, reducing the risk of legal complications.
- Enhanced investor confidence through transparent and compliant onboarding processes.

This includes managing the final token distribution, providing technical support, and assisting with one of the most critical steps: getting your token listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. We leverage our network and expertise to guide you through the application and technical integration process for various exchanges.
Key Outcomes

Success Stories in Tokenization
The Challenge: Building Trust in a Crowded DeFi Market
The client needed to launch a governance token to decentralize their protocol. Their primary challenges were ensuring absolute smart contract security to protect user funds, creating a tokenomic model that incentivized long-term liquidity provision, and building a compliant platform that could attract both retail and institutional capital.
Key Challenges:
- Developing a complex, exploit-resistant smart contract for token staking and governance.
- Designing a token distribution model that was fair and encouraged community growth.
- Integrating a seamless KYC/AML process without creating friction for investors.
- Launching within a 3-month window to capitalize on market momentum.
Our Solution:
Errna provided an end-to-end solution. We began with a deep dive into their protocol, designing a dual-token system to separate utility and governance. Our team developed the ERC-20 token, staking contracts, and a voting mechanism, all of which underwent two independent security audits. We built a custom investor portal with automated KYC checks and a real-time dashboard.
The Challenge: Merging Gaming with Blockchain
PixelForge wanted to launch a utility token that players could earn and spend within the game for unique items and cosmetics. The token sale needed to fund this development. The challenge was to create a token that had real utility, was seamlessly integrated into the game, and could be sold to both gamers and crypto investors.
Key Challenges:
- Ensuring the tokenomics wouldn't disrupt the existing game balance.
- Building a secure bridge between the game's centralized servers and the blockchain.
- Creating an ICO platform that was easy for non-crypto-native gamers to use.
- Communicating the value of a utility token to a traditional gaming audience.
Our Solution:
Our team worked alongside PixelForge's game designers to craft the token's utility and economic sinks. We developed a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain for low transaction fees. The ICO platform we built featured simple wallet creation guides and direct credit card-to-crypto purchase options. We also developed the smart contracts for the in-game marketplace and reward distribution.
The Challenge: Navigating the Complexities of a Security Token Offering (STO)
This project was an STO, a regulated fundraising event that required a much higher level of compliance than a typical ICO. The client needed to tokenize ownership shares in a $50M property portfolio. The platform had to enforce strict investor accreditation rules and manage dividend distribution automatically.
Key Challenges:
- Developing a security token (ERC-1400 standard) with built-in transfer restrictions.
- Integrating with a third-party accredited investor verification service.
- Building a smart contract to automate quarterly dividend payments to token holders.
- Ensuring the entire platform was compliant with SEC regulations.
Our Solution:
We architected a complete STO platform. This included the development of a compliant ERC-1400 security token and a sophisticated investor portal with multi-level verification. We built a dividend distribution smart contract that pulled data from an oracle to calculate payouts. Our team worked closely with the client's legal counsel to ensure every feature met stringent regulatory requirements.
