blockchain and AI.

DeFi, RWA tokenization, privacy and developer tooling on Ethereum Ecosystem, Canton Network and Stellar.AI engineering: LLM applications and agentic systems.One team, building together since 2017.

Talk to us See our work

What we build

A live product your team owns: scoped with you, contracts audited, frontend shipped, handoff complete.
DeFi, RWA tokenization, privacy and fintech. Integrations with the products your protocol depends on: custody, DEX, liquidity, lending, interoperability.
More teams building on your protocol, and a shorter path to their first integration.
Starter kits, SDKs, integration guides, self-updating docs that track your codebase, and agent skill packs, shipped open source and measured on key KPIs such as time to first transaction.
LLM applications and agentic systems: evaluated, guarded, observable, scalable.

- agentic-ready docs on dAppBooster for Canton
Your milestone moves without opening headcount.
Two or three engineers inside your repo and review process, scope fixed per statement of work, clean renew-or-stop at each boundary.

How we work

We work in pods of three to five: engineers, a designer when the product needs one, QA and one project manager as your single point of contact. Fixed scope or time and materials, depending on the phase. Embedded engineering runs under a master agreement with a statement of work per scope. 50+ projects shipped by a team building together since 2017.

Token or hybrid compensation is available where it aligns incentives.
We work with founders, foundations, and ecosystem teams, fintechs, and funds or asset managers bringing capital-markets assets on-chain.

Where we build

AI engineering is not tied to a chain. It runs where your stack runs.

Ethereum

Where the team started. Core contributors to Safe, Hyperlane, Derive and Gnosis Chain. Production work with Wormhole and Uniswap v4.

Case studies

Canton Network

From the first architecture call to production. Advisory on privacy and tokenization, Daml contracts and full-stack apps, validator setup and go-live, by the engineers behind our own work on Canton.

What clients say

"BootNode took our idea for a StableSwap pool on Uniswap v4 and ran with it end-to-end. Without a spec, they handled the technical discovery, design, and delivery [...] They [...] managed the audit with minimal findings [...] They truly know how to own a problem from first principles."

MarioFounder and CEO, Revert Finance

"BootNode [...] helped us design and ship Portal Earn, our onchain loyalty and rewards experience for Wormhole Portal users. They plugged into the team quickly, handled everything from integrations to frontend UX, and iterated fast as the product and requirements evolved."

Dan ReecerCo-founder, Wormhole Foundation

"BootNode and Hyperlane played a huge role in taking the Open Intents Framework from a concept to a functioning, open-source framework [...] Having a team like BootNode that is both technically strong and easy to work with made this kind of ecosystem-wide coordination possible."

Josh RudolfProduct, Ethereum Foundation

"BootNode helped us navigate the challenges of launching an L2 native protocol, including subgraphs, governance, and the protocol's safety module. [...] We also liked their engagement model as they contributed their work 100% as investors, building a unique long-term partnership."
