Our process

We are able to provide consulting that positions our customers businesses within the blockchain ecosystem and build out decentralised integrations where they are necessary.

know more aboutour values
- People and relationships are the most valuable assets we have.
- We seek the balance between design flair and discipline in our approach.
- We love what we do, and place great emphasis on the importance of “the work”.
Upliftment Program:
In our view, social responsibility is not just a job for large corporations: South Africa’s incredible potential lies in her youth, diversity and design flair, which we bring into our work; because we understand that our business physically exists in this greater context, we are undertaking a program of upliftment by employing junior staff from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. We then train them up to senior levels by guiding them through selected study material and using practical measures such as pair-programming to fast-track their development.
