Please include a summary of key deliverables.As our blockchain / Web3 project gained momentum and popularity, we quickly needed a coding / blockchain web development company with expert coders, speed, reliability, and quality control - as we had clearly outgrown our own in-house coding team by that point. SpaceDev responded to us with an initial report / assessment of our codebase and all of the things that needed to be fixed or done - and this was a super detailed report where we knew that the project manager / coders really did a deep dive into our GitHub / Codebase and they knew exactly what was wrong, what could be improved, and what we needed. We had offers from some other web development companies as well, but none came close to the level of detail and attention SpaceDev had made in their first initial assessment report alone, and the speed and cost, plus the fact that they are an actual company with offices in 3-4 different countries around the world, with great reviews etc, sealed the deal for us pretty much on the spot after that. SpaceDev took over what was a very buggy Web3 dApp based on the BSC blockchain that was made by one of our first coders who didn't have much experience, and as the weeks went by they quickly identified, eliminated, fixed, and improved all of the bugs and not just that, they went above and beyond and transformed the buggy dApp into a smooth, clean piece of code with far better efficiency, organisation and speed - and also version control and things like that which are critical for an enterprise-level project. SpaceDev is a seriously good Web3 / Blockchain web development company, for projects which are serious and need a proper company with a great project manager and a great, expert team of coders who are not only skilled but also reliable and have great speed, quality control, all combined into one. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?Fixed numerous bugs (hundreds and hundreds of lines of complex Web3 / Ethers.js / React code etc) in our dApp Prepared detailed reports on not just the codebase but on the overall project in itself, including the smart contract and financial aspects. Introduced new features and suggestions which were really well received by the users of the Dapp. Were quick to fix and correct any mistakes (of which there were very little to begin with) Easy, friendly, smooth to work with - both the project managers and the coders - they are a wonderful team. SpaceDev's coding team frequently attends (and wins) hackathons and various Ethereum / blockchain related events. They know blockchain tech inside out.Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time?

I’m the project manager of an insurance company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with SpaceDev? Our company was looking to transition into smart contracts, so we needed someone to build a solution for that. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? SpaceDev helped us develop a web platform that utilizes blockchain technology to provide our customers with smart contracting solutions. After a couple of meetings, we started the project with a two-week discovery sprint which yielded the development plan, project structure, MVP goals, and the description of the product’s functionalities, as well as the integration of third-party services. After the development phase, the product was out of beta in about 10 months, and the tools they used included React, Node.js, and MongoDB. Moreover, they implemented additional features such as proper scaling, improved support, user-friendly claim forms, the ability to upload digital evidence, export PDF files, and other important documents. What is the team composition? We mainly worked with a project manager, a QA specialist, and a designer. How did you come to work with SpaceDev? We found them while researching online and chose to work with them based on their location and positive reviews. How much have you invested with them? We invested about $100,000.

It was a hectic discovery and development period at first, but we immediately noticed a slight decrease in the usage of paperwork in certain areas, especially involving the payment process — which is now automated. Eight of our existing clients had their policies and claims histories successfully migrated into the new platform, and our email surveys revealed they were very satisfied with the new streamlined process. In addition, we signed on four new clients, citing that the technology we implemented gave them confidence and a sense of security. How did SpaceDev perform from a project management standpoint? They performed well from a project management perspective, as they were always open and available to questions and transparent with the progress of the development. We never felt ignored, and we liked their approach based on Agile methodologies — SpaceDev essentially made the process very easy for us, and our issues and concerns were swiftly addressed. What did you find most impressive about them? We were impressed with their open and transparent communication, as it gave us a clearer understanding of the project's progress. Are there any areas they could improve? There’s nothing they need to improve on. Do you have any advice for potential customers? To get the most out of the partnership, I advise you to give them the information and tools they need to make great decisions for the project. --- #### Decentralized App Revamp for Blockchain Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: May - June 2022 **Project Summary**: SpaceDev revamped an existing decentralized application for a blockchain company.

Top collections launched on Rari Chain generated millions in volume shortly after release.Challenge Rarible's Protocol Team maintains infrastructure powering the Rarible Marketplace, RaribleX (white-label NFT for brands like Barbie and Hot Wheels), and Rari Chain, an L3 on Arbitrum with on-chain royalty enforcement. The challenge was maintaining and expanding this multi-chain infrastructure while handling major smart contract migrations, keeping the NFT indexer and order book running at scale, and supporting Rari Chain's launch without disrupting live collections. Solution Contributed as a technical partner on smart contract migration and optimization across blockchain architectures. The team worked on the Rarible API's aggregated order book and real-time NFT indexer relied on across all Rarible sub-products. A significant part of the engagement supported the launch of Rari Chain (an L3 built on Arbitrum) including on-chain royalty enforcement mechanisms. Smart contract work was carried out in Solidity with direct collaboration with Rarible's core engineering team. Outcome Top-performing collections on Rari Chain generated millions of dollars in volume shortly after launch. Thousands of NFTs were successfully migrated during major events including the Eclipse launch, with no disruption to existing collections. Rarible's multi-chain presence and scalability improved measurably, and the on-chain royalty enforcement built into Rari Chain represented a meaningful advancement for NFT creators seeking reliable secondary market compensation. Technologies Used: Solidity, Arbitrum, L3 Architecture, NFT Indexer, Multi-Chain Smart Contracts, Rarible API, EVM ### Drata: Compliance Automation Platform Compliance Automation SaaS Development (4-Year Strategic Partnership) SpaceDev served as Drata's strategic development partner for over four years, co-developing the compliance automation agent and audit workflows that became Drata's core value proposition. Drata grew from a five-person startup to a market leader at $2B+ valuation. Challenge: Drata was a five-person startup building compliance automation across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS — with the ambition to become the default platform in the market. The challenge was not a technology gap but a delivery gap: the founding team needed to ship critical features fast, build architecture scalable across multiple compliance frameworks, and do it without the headcount that a project of this scope typically demands. Solution: SpaceDev became Drata's strategic development partner for over four years, embedding at the architectural level rather than executing individual tasks. The team co-developed the compliance agent — the automated evidence-gathering system that became the platform's central value proposition — and built secure audit workflows enabling clients to move through compliance cycles without manual intervention. The engagement spanned multiple phases of the company's growth, with architecture reinforced at each stage. Outcome: Drata grew from a five-person startup to a market leader in security compliance, reaching a valuation of over $2 billion and supporting thousands of companies. The infrastructure built during SpaceDev's partnership underpins the platform at that scale today. The compliance agent and audit workflows developed collaboratively are among the defining features that differentiated Drata in a crowded market. Technologies Used: SaaS Architecture, Compliance Automation, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / GDPR / PCI DSS, Long-Term Staff Augmentation ### FightFI: Gamified Web3 Platform & Identity Layer Smart Contract and Web3 Gaming Platform Development for Sports Fan Engagement SpaceDev built FightFI's full Web3 platform from MVP to production, a Progressive Web App combining daily missions, NFT-based rewards, and on-chain user identity on the Aptos blockchain. The platform went from concept to live product in four months. Challenge: FightFI needed a fan engagement platform that used blockchain in a way that didn't alienate mainstream sports fans. The platform required on-chain mechanics (NFT rewards, claimable points, user identity) without forcing users to manage wallets or understand blockchain protocols. The architecture also had to support rapid feature changes, since the roadmap was actively evolving during the build. Solution: SpaceDev owned the full technical delivery. The team built a Progressive Web App with React.js, NestJS, and Aptos smart contracts handling NFT interactions, user points tracking, and on-chain reward claims. Onboarding was designed to meet users where they were social logins, OKX Wallet, and Auth0 OTP email verification, requiring no crypto-native knowledge. Smart contracts were deployed in direct collaboration with the Aptos team. An admin tool was delivered simultaneously using low-code tooling for operational independence.  Outcome: The platform launched on schedule and evolved through 12+ months of active development. FightFI moved from concept to a fully operational fan engagement product with games, leaderboards, NFT rewards, and giveaway mechanics live on Aptos mainnet, positioned as an early reference implementation of gamified Web3 in combat sports.

Challenge: ApeBond (the #1 bonding protocol in DeFi) built its OTC marketplace on Ethereum, but expanding to Solana required more than deploying a new contract. Solana's account model is architecturally different from Ethereum's, meaning a complete Solana program had to be written from scratch mirroring existing Ethereum bond issuance logic. Simultaneously, the frontend needed to support simultaneous wallet connections across both blockchains from a single interface without disrupting existing users. Solution: SpaceDev led the development of ApeBond's Solana program from scratch, delivered the full SDK, and integrated it into the existing Next.js frontend. The Solana account system was designed to enable smooth migration from the Ethereum-only architecture while maintaining full bond issuance functionality. Frontend enhancements enabled simultaneous connections to both Solana and Ethereum wallets. SpaceDev also collaborated on the Sherlock security audit to validate the Solana program before launch and continues providing ongoing post-launch support. Outcome: ApeBond's platform now supports simultaneous Solana and Ethereum wallet connections, enabling users to purchase and issue bonds on Solana for the first time. The cross-chain expansion positions ApeBond to capture the growing Solana DeFi user base while maintaining its established Ethereum ecosystem effectively doubling the platform's addressable market without disrupting existing users. Technologies Used: Solana Program Development, Rust, Solana SDK, Next.js, React, Ethereum Smart Contracts, Multi-Chain Wallet Integration, TypeScript, Sherlock Security Audit ### Aura: XAUT Wallet for Emerging Markets Gold Investment Mobile App Development for Latin American Retail Investors SpaceDev ran Product Discovery and led full-stack mobile development for Aura, the first accessible gold savings app in Latin America, built on XAUT token infrastructure with a Web2-like user experience that required no prior crypto knowledge.Challenge Retail investors in Latin America had no practical path to gold investment — physical gold required high minimums and institutional access most people didn't have. XAUT (a token backed by physical gold) provided the infrastructure, but there was no product that made it usable for someone with no blockchain background. The goal was to build an experience layer making institutional-grade gold investment accessible from a mobile phone.Solution SpaceDev ran the full Product Discovery process to define the MVP, then led full-stack and mobile development for the Aura app. The core design principle was a Web2-like experience on a Web3 backend, users see gold balances, buy/sell flows, and portfolio tracking, not blockchain transactions. The team built recurring purchase scheduling for automated gold savings, real-time portfolio tracking tied to live gold prices, and a clean onboarding flow requiring no prior crypto knowledge.Outcome Aura became the first accessible gold savings app in the region, enabling investors to enter the gold market from small amounts with institutional-grade custody backing every position. The Web2-style interface significantly reduced onboarding friction compared to standard Web3 products. The recurring purchase feature gave users a simple mechanism to build savings habits around gold, a financial behavior previously unavailable to this demographic. Technologies Used: React Native, Full-Stack Development, XAUT Token Integration, Web3 Wallet, Product Discovery, UI/UX Design ### Blockus (Backed by a16z) Blockchain API Development for Web3 Gaming: a16z-Backed Infrastructure Platform SpaceDev built the core Web3 API platform for Blockus, an a16z-backed company providing blockchain integration infrastructure for game developers. The platform abstracts Smart Contract complexity, handles NFT minting, and supports multi-chain architecture for enterprise gaming studios. Challenge Game development studios need to integrate blockchain features (NFT ownership, on-chain economies, digital asset transfers) without becoming blockchain experts. Blockus needed an API platform robust enough to pass a16z due diligence and enterprise security requirements, while remaining developer-friendly enough for independent studios to adopt without dedicated Web3 teams. Solution SpaceDev designed and built Blockus's core Web3 API platform, creating clean abstraction layers over Smart Contract interactions for NFT minting, asset management, and on-chain transaction processing. The architecture supports multiple blockchain networks simultaneously, built in Node.js with authentication, rate limiting, and on-chain transaction validation at every layer. Developer experience was treated as a primary design constraint alongside security and scalability. Outcome The platform became Blockus's primary product offering, enabling partnerships with enterprise gaming studios requiring production-grade blockchain infrastructure. Multi-chain architecture supports demand across different blockchain ecosystems. The security and performance standards satisfied the technical scrutiny of a16z-level investment due diligence. Technologies Used Blockchain API Development, Smart Contracts, NFT Infrastructure, Multi-Chain Architecture, Web3 Gaming Integration, Node.js, REST API Design, Enterprise Security, Digital Asset Management ### National Digital Asset Exchange (NDAX) Compliant Crypto Exchange Development for the Canadian Market Project Summary SpaceDev built NDAX's full exchange platform (frontend, mobile app, and banking integration) enabling Canada's first compliant crypto exchange. After launch, new user registrations grew from 50 to 200 per month and KYC completion rates improved from 50% to 80%. Challenge Canada lacked a compliant crypto exchange that could integrate with the banking system and pass regulatory scrutiny while remaining usable for everyday consumers. Building for compliance and usability simultaneously, full KYC at scale, Canadian financial regulations, and a UI accessible for first-time users, required an architecture designed for compliance from the start, not retrofitted afterward. Solution SpaceDev built NDAX's complete frontend using TypeScript, Angular 8, Node.js, and MongoDB, architecting a compliance-ready system from the ground up. A React Native mobile app was developed in parallel, providing secure account access, asset trading, and staking across iOS and Android. AlphaPoint integration established the secure banking connectivity that made the platform viable in the regulated Canadian market. Outcome After launch, new registered users grew from approximately 50 per month to 200 (a 4x increase) KYC completion rates improved from 50% to 80%, directly reducing onboarding drop-off. NDAX became a reference point for compliant crypto infrastructure in Canada, with the banking integration and regulatory architecture serving as its primary competitive differentiator. Technologies Used TypeScript, Angular 8, Node.js, MongoDB, React Native, AlphaPoint Banking Integration, KYC Systems ### Bondi Finance - Tokenizing Real-World Assets Project SummaryWe built Bondi Finance's desktop application for managing tokenized real-world assets, providing financial professionals with a compliance-ready interface for the full asset lifecycle from issuance through secondary market transactions on-chain. ChallengeBondi Finance was pioneering RWA tokenization on blockchain and needed a desktop application financial professionals could actually use combining institutional-grade workflows with on-chain asset tracking, smart contract management, and token lifecycle monitoring. The application needed to meet compliance standards for regulated financial environments while handling blockchain transaction finality. SolutionA robust integration layer connected the application to blockchain networks for real-time tokenized asset tracking, smart contract interactions, and on-chain event monitoring. The interface was designed for financial professionals, with data visualization, transaction history, and asset management workflows matching the complexity of underlying blockchain operations. Architecture supported secure key management and audit-friendly logging. OutcomeBondi Finance launched with a production-ready desktop application managing the full lifecycle of tokenized real-world assets, from issuance through secondary market transactions. The smart contract integration layer handled asset tokenization with full on-chain transparency, giving compliance teams the audit trail required in regulated markets. User feedback highlighted interface clarity as a key differentiator in the RWA tokenization space. Technologies UsedElectron, Blockchain Integration, Smart Contracts, RWA Tokenization, Web3 Infrastructure, TypeScript, Node.js ### Mostaza - Fintech meets Web3 Web3 Fintech App Development: USDT Wallet and Virtual Card Platform Project SummarySpaceDev led full product design and development for Mostaza's Web3 fintech platform, building a React Native application that integrates a USDT wallet, fiat on-ramp, and virtual card in a banking-grade mobile experience on top of Web3 infrastructure. ChallengeFintech companies building at the intersection of traditional banking and cryptocurrency need a product experience that feels familiar to everyday users while supporting USDT transactions, blockchain asset management, and virtual card functionality. Building for both audiences (crypto-native users and traditional banking users) without creating a product that satisfies neither is the core design challenge. SolutionSpaceDev led full product design and mobile development for Mostaza's Web3 wallet, building with React Native on the frontend and NestJS on the backend. Blockchain complexity was abstracted entirely from the user-facing experience: users see balances, transfers, and a virtual card, not token mechanics. The USDT wallet, fiat on-ramp, and virtual card were integrated into a single cohesive flow. Architecture was designed for scalability across additional blockchain networks and DeFi protocols. OutcomeA complete product roadmap from MVP through full-featured Web3 fintech platform. The fiat on-ramp design measurably reduced friction for users entering cryptocurrency for the first time. The virtual card integration completed the bridge between digital assets and real-world spending  a capability previously unavailable in a single mobile app in the target market. Technologies UsedReact Native, NestJS, USDT / Blockchain Integration, Web3 Wallet Architecture, Fiat On-Ramp Systems, DeFi Protocol Integration, Virtual Card Systems, Mobile App Development, TypeScript ### iAffirm - AI-Powered Mental Wellness Platform   iAffirm - AI-Powered Mental Wellness Platform Industry: Wellness / AI / Mental Health / Personal Development Timeline: 8 months Team Size: 2 (Sr Full-Stack AI Dev, Ssr Full-Stack Dev) Tech Stack: React, NestJS, PostgreSQL, PythonOverview:iAffirm is a groundbreaking web application designed to help users tap into the power of their subconscious minds through deeply personalized experiences.

He realized that in order to mine the riches of the web3 universe he needed to go beyond the limitations of even the most apt APIs and tools available. After getting financing for the project of his dreams, Michael began to look for an ambitious task force specialized in crypto, able to start working right away and tackle the challenges proposed by Luabase. Off We Go: Key to building Luabase was dividing the stack with the other team, aiming to progress steadily and on time through clear goals – to achieve this, CI/CD pipelines were implemented. A backend built on Flask and FastAPI, with SQLAlchemy acting as ORM, was spearheaded by a Vue.js web front centered around the practical but beautiful Notebook feature, where users type the commands to query blockchains or perform tasks with the results. ETLs were laid to improve data flow to the platform’s ultra fast database, which uses Clickhouse to organize, sort through and visualize big tables. Last but not least, tweaking was done to smooth third party integrations, like Google Sheets, Discord, Slack and Snowflake. The Aftermath: In the field of big data blockchain analytics, Luabase has proved to be a peerless solution. The crypto industry is undergoing a period of instability where web3 security threats and the need for reliable data have become crucial issues. Allowing users to track Binance addresses and tag smart contracts, among a list of endless features, really makes the difference when querying one or multiple blockchains at the same time. And it’s growing – from Solana to more supported currencies in the future and the ability to be integrated into other companies’ workflows.   ### Aries - FireLab Problem Context A fire inspection is a monumental task, especially when it comes to a big building; even the most established inspection companies have to painstakingly make sure that every single component of a building’s safety network is carefully checked by their inspection teams. After becoming a staple in the New York fire inspection industry, client Rich Oldenburg identified four central challenges faced by inspection service providers: High Complexity: A fire inspection involves rigorously going through a long checklist, plenty of documentation, device location and testing, different types of measurements, handling of replacement parts, working in low reception areas, and real-time synchronization between the company’s HQ and multiple inspectors. Location Tracking: Nothing but a complex real-time online system can allow companies to monitor inspectors’ work status, breaks, whereabouts, testing times and task progress. Digitalization: Most companies still work with paper forms! An inspection process carried out this way is not only slow, but monotonous, as well as a waste of resources and time when you have to be in constant communication with the client and other inspectors. Legal Obligations: Fire inspection regulations vary from country to country, or in the case of the US, from state to state. This puts fire inspection companies in a tough spot when trying to expand operations because they’re at risk of potentially facing legal problems if the fine print is not followed correctly.   Solution impact A company that uses FireLab can reduce up to 78% the time spent per month in customer collection and payment processes. It will enable them to run a more effective ship, keep their clients’ buildings safe and, inevitably, grow as a business. ### Hooked Hooked is the #1 food and drink mobile app within U.S. college towns.
