What We Do

DevEx & DevRel for web3 ecosystems. We fix what turns developers out of blockchains.

The New Standard

Onboarding is for humans. Documentation should be AI-first. We build for the new age of software development.

Our Mission

Making every blockchain ecosystem a place where developers thrive, not just survive.

Our Services

Full-stack DevRel. From "getting started" to production deployment.

Developer Onboarding Optimization

The first 30 minutes decide everything. When a developer lands on your docs, they're asking one question: "Can I ship something with this?" Most onboarding flows fail because they explain architecture before demonstrating the fun stuff.

We audit your entire developer journey — from landing page to first successful API call — and fix the friction points that kill adoption. Time-to-Hello-World analysis. Error message digging. Cognitive load reduction. Environment setup elimination.

We cut onboarding time from hours to minutes for blockchain projects where "run this setup steps" was considered acceptable.

Technical Documentation Audits

Your docs have drifted from reality. Not intentionally. But that tutorial from 18 months ago? The API reference that's three versions behind? They're actively driving developers away.

We run systematic audits that surface accuracy decay, discovery failures, maintainability gaps, and AI-readability issues. Because AI agents read your docs before developers do — and most docs fail both audiences.

The deliverable isn't a PDF you'll ignore. It's a prioritized fix list with estimated impact.

Hackathon Operations

Our signature battle-tested hackathon model. We've run presence at ETHBelgrade, ETHRome, ETHLisbon, TUM Blockchain, and global online hackathons. Not as sponsors who show up with swag. As a coordinated team of operators who drive measurable developer adoption.

Our hackathon model:

  • Pre-event developer activation — workshops, meetups, content
  • On-site technical support — engineers who debug your stack at 2am
  • Project Clinic workshops — helping hackers strengthen product, UX, and target audience
  • Real-time feedback loops — we surface onboarding and tooling issues while the event runs
  • Post-event reporting — actual metrics: submissions, completion rates, sentiment, conversion

At ETHBelgrade, we captured 25.6% market share against native Ethereum tracks. That doesn't happen with a booth and some stickers.

Post-Hackathon Support

Hackathons produce prototypes. We help them become products. The dirty secret of hackathons: over 90% of projects end right there. Not because the ideas were bad, but because nobody helped the teams navigate what comes next.

We provide structured post-hackathon support: technical viability assessment, architecture guidance, ecosystem integration, and grant/funding preparation. For ecosystems running hackathons, this is how you convert one-time participants into long-term builders.

One ETHBelgrade participant was selected for Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Bali and started an interview process at Parity. That's the pipeline.

Ecosystem DevRel Strategy

Beyond content calendars. Most DevRel programs measure activity instead of outcomes. Posts published. Events attended. Followers gained. None of that tells you if developers are actually building.

We build DevRel programs with measurable outcomes — developer activation, retention metrics, and community health indicators. We map and foster existing initiatives, establish coordination across teams, and create governance mechanisms.

Blockchain Education & Consulting

Teaching what we've learned. We offer technical workshops on smart contract development, runtime architecture, data indexing, and AI agent integration. We also consult on ecosystem strategy — helping protocols figure out where to focus their developer efforts for maximum impact.

Whether it's a 2-hour workshop at a conference or a multi-week training program for your team, we teach what actually works in production.

How Our Services Fit Together

Developer experience is a system. Each piece reinforces the others.

1

Audit & Diagnose

Find the friction points. Docs, onboarding, tooling — we identify what's costing you developers.

2

Fix the Critical Path

Optimize onboarding. Update docs. Reduce time-to-hello-world from hours to minutes.

3

Validate Under Pressure

Hackathons stress-test your DevEx. Real developers, tight deadlines, honest feedback.

4

Convert & Retain

Support winning teams. Connect them to grants, jobs, and ecosystem resources. Build the pipeline.

The compounding effect: Hackathon feedback improves your docs. Better docs mean more successful projects. Successful projects mean stronger testimonials. Stronger testimonials attract more developers.

We can work on isolated projects, but the real value comes from treating DevEx as infrastructure — not marketing.
