Success Stories in On-Chain Asset Management
We don't just talk about the future of finance; we build it. Explore how we've helped asset managers like you achieve tangible results.
Client Overview
A mid-sized private equity firm specializing in commercial real estate wanted to democratize access to their latest fund. They faced challenges with high minimum investment thresholds, long settlement periods, and limited liquidity for their Limited Partners (LPs).
Key Challenges
- Making high-value real estate assets accessible to a broader investor base.
- Automating investor verification (KYC/AML) and subscription processes.
- Reducing the administrative burden of managing distributions and reporting.
- Providing a compliant pathway for LPs to trade their fund shares.
Our Solution
We engineered an end-to-end platform for the tokenization of their real estate fund, built on the Ethereum blockchain using the ERC-3643 standard for permissioned tokens.
- Developed a secure investor portal for streamlined onboarding, KYC, and automated subscription agreement execution.
- Created a smart contract suite to manage the issuance, transfer, and burning of fund tokens, with built-in compliance rules.
- Built an administrative dashboard for the firm to manage the cap table, trigger automated dividend distributions, and disseminate reports.
- Integrated with a regulated secondary marketplace via API to allow for compliant peer-to-peer trading of the fund's tokens among verified investors.
Client Overview
A crypto-native hedge fund was spending significant man-hours manually moving capital between various yield farming protocols across multiple chains. This process was inefficient, prone to error, and missed opportunities in the fast-moving DeFi market.
Key Challenges
- Monitoring hundreds of yield pools across Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum.
- Calculating gas costs and impermanent loss to determine true net yield.
- Executing complex multi-step transactions quickly and reliably.
- Minimizing security risks from interacting with numerous third-party protocols.
Our Solution
We developed a sophisticated, non-custodial yield aggregator platform that automated their entire strategy.
- Built a data pipeline that ingested real-time APY, liquidity, and gas fee data from multiple chains.
- Designed a "Strategy Vault" smart contract that could automatically rebalance funds to the highest-yielding, risk-adjusted pools.
- Implemented a risk management module that monitored the health of underlying protocols and could automatically withdraw funds if risk parameters were breached.
- Created a secure administrative interface for the fund managers to set risk tolerance, deposit/withdraw capital, and monitor the performance of the automated strategies in real-time.
Client Overview
A forward-thinking family office wanted to allocate a portion of their treasury to DeFi to generate yield on their cash reserves. However, they needed a solution that provided institutional-grade security, multi-user controls, and a clear, auditable trail for compliance purposes.
Key Challenges
- Securing digital assets with multi-person approval workflows.
- Interacting only with vetted, compliant DeFi protocols.
- Generating comprehensive reports for accounting and tax purposes.
- Ensuring operational resilience and disaster recovery.
Our Solution
We delivered a custom-built, on-chain treasury management portal integrated with a Gnosis Safe multi-signature wallet.
- Configured a multi-sig wallet requiring 3-of-5 signatures for any transaction, ensuring no single individual could move funds.
- Developed a "whitelisting" smart contract that restricted interactions to a pre-approved list of audited DeFi protocols like Aave and Compound.
- Integrated with a crypto accounting platform to automatically categorize transactions and generate detailed financial reports.
- Provided a secure, IP-restricted web interface for treasury managers to propose, approve, and monitor transactions, creating a full on-chain audit log of all activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the critical questions institutions have about DeFi.
Our security process is multi-faceted. It starts with secure coding practices and adherence to industry standards. Every smart contract undergoes multiple rounds of internal peer review and automated analysis. Most importantly, we partner with leading third-party auditing firms for a comprehensive, independent audit before any code is deployed to mainnet. We also recommend ongoing security monitoring and bug bounty programs post-launch.
We build with compliance in mind from day one. We can integrate with leading identity verification providers for KYC/AML checks at the point of onboarding. For ongoing compliance, we utilize on-chain analytics tools like Chainalysis or Elliptic to monitor transactions, score risk, and flag suspicious activity (KYT). Our platforms can be designed to generate reports required by regulatory bodies, ensuring you meet your obligations.
Absolutely. This is one of our core strengths. We build robust APIs and secure data oracles to create a seamless bridge between your on-chain platform and your existing systems, such as portfolio management software (PMS), order management systems (OMS), or accounting software. This ensures data consistency and a unified workflow for your team.
Timelines and costs vary significantly based on complexity. A proof-of-concept or a simple integration might take 2-3 months. A full-featured tokenized fund platform or a custom DeFi protocol can take 6-12 months or more. We provide a detailed proposal with a project roadmap and transparent pricing after our initial discovery phase. We offer flexible engagement models, including dedicated teams, project-based pricing, and consulting retainers to fit your needs.
We work with you to implement a custody solution that matches your security and operational requirements. This typically involves integrating with institutional-grade, insured custodians that use technologies like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) or Multi-Signature wallets. We can also build custom smart contract-based solutions like Gnosis Safes that require multiple approvals for any transaction, providing robust internal controls.
