Our Story
From viral experiments to venture-scale launches
We cut our teeth in 2017 shipping PepeDapp and a handful of experimental NFT marketplaces on Ethereum. Those drops moved tens of millions in volume, sparked mainstream conversations, and set the foundation for Area21 Labs.
Honeyminer was the first client to tap us. They wanted the same viral lift as our side projects, and within three months their product crossed 100,000 downloads before ultimately joining Core Scientific.
Twetch followed—a Bitcoin SV social network where creators earned on every post. It drew over 200,000 signups and 30,000 Twitter followers before we pivoted when the landscape shifted.
Then Ordinals Wallet arrived. We launched the first large-scale NFT marketplace on Bitcoin, helping it grow beyond $220M in volume, 125,000 organic followers, and close to one million wallets created.
Today we keep that momentum moving. From RockWallet and MNEE to Mina's next trading platform, we partner with teams building what's next and make their products feel inevitable on day one.
We help founders build what's next
We thrive in frontier markets where clarity is scarce and momentum matters. Whether you're scaling a crypto platform, launching an AI-powered workflow, or reimagining financial infrastructure, we help you frame the opportunity, craft the narrative, and deliver the product experience end users expect.
From AI wrappers and production-ready model integrations to automated agents that plug into your stack, we design systems that turn emerging tech into dependable product features. On the infrastructure side, we know UTXOs cold and have shipped on every major blockchain, from consumer-facing wallets to low-latency trading rails.
Our team has shipped products for venture-backed startups, Fortune 500 innovation groups, and decentralized communities. The common thread: we translate complex technology into intuitive, high-performing user experiences that build trust and unlock growth.
Strategy to ship
We plug into founders early, align on the narrative, and stay through launch to make sure the story holds up in the product.
Design systems that scale
Pattern libraries, accessibility guardrails, and interaction models that empower product teams to move faster with confidence.
Full-stack execution
From Figma prototypes to production-ready code, we build the connective tissue between design decisions and shipped software.
Embedded partnership
Weekly rituals, transparent async updates, and a bias for experimentation keep us aligned with your roadmap and metrics.
Let's build the next wave together
Tell us where you're headed, and we'll help map the product, experience, and technology that will get you there faster.
