Decentralized Banking · Compliant by Design

Decentralized banking that regulators can live with

We build decentralized banking and neobank-style platforms with compliance built in — KYC-gated access, whitelisted transfers, and audit trails. The same permissioned architecture behind our live tokenization platforms. Fixed scope, $25k–$100k.

What we build

Banking rails that hold up to scrutiny

Plain list. Built with the compliance and security regulated finance requires.

Accounts & balancesOn-chain account logic with the access controls a financial product needs.
Lending & creditCollateralized and, where structured with counsel, under-collateralized lending logic.
Payments & transfersWhitelisted, rule-controlled transfers — not open-permissionless free-for-alls.
Yield & savingsSustainable yield products with transparent, auditable mechanics.
KYC & identityOnboarding and identity gating wired into every sensitive action.
Audit & reportingFull audit trails and compliance reporting built for regulators, not bolted on.

Proof

We build permissioned finance, in production

Compliant, permissioned on-chain finance is exactly what our tokenization platforms already do.

Compliance

KYC-gated on-chain finance

Whitelisted transfers, identity gating, and audit logs — live in our tokenization platforms.

Built to pass certification.
Custody

Asset-backed & reconciled

1:1 custody backing with on-chain reconciliation, proven on our gold platform.

Live in production.
Security

VAPT certified

Contracts and infrastructure hardened to security-certification standard.

Certified builds.

Know the number before you commit

Fixed-scope builds run $25k–$100k depending on protocol complexity, audit requirements, and compliance features. Contract audits are quoted separately; we prepare contracts to pass them the first time.

How we build

Compliant finance is architecture, not an afterthought

You can't bolt compliance onto a permissionless protocol. We design it in from the start.

Compliance mapping

KYC/AML, jurisdiction, and permissioning requirements mapped first, with your licensed counsel.

Permissioned design

Whitelisting, transfer rules, and access control designed into the contracts, not patched later.

Security hardening

Threat modeling and VAPT-grade review — the standard behind our live platforms.

Launch & audit

Deployed with audit trails, monitoring, and reporting your regulators will ask for.

How we work & why it matters

We combine process, technology, and expertise so your product gets built right—from idea to launch.

We use proven stacks and clear delivery so you get results you can measure.

Common questions

How do you handle oracle exploits? →

We use multi-oracle aggregation (Chainlink + Pyth) with staleness checks and price circuit breakers.

Are the contracts upgradeable? +

Yes. We use UUPS or Transparent Proxy patterns with timelocks and multi-sig governance controls.

Do you support under-collateralized loans? +

We can architect credit-delegation or soul-bound token (SBT) models for KYC'd permissioned lending.

How much does a decentralized banking application cost? +

Fixed-scope builds run $25k–$100k depending on protocol complexity, audit requirements, and compliance features. Contract audits are quoted separately; we prepare contracts to pass them the first time.

Can KYC and compliance work in decentralized banking? +

Yes — permissioned DeFi is where regulation is heading. We build KYC-gated onboarding, whitelisted transfers, and full audit trails: the same compliance-first architecture behind our shipped RWA tokenization platforms.
