We developed and exited one of the first commercialised cryptocurrency payment processors and wallet management systems for developers at a time when accepting crypto payments online was unheard of.Now that crypto payments are widely adopted, it's only natural to regulate, monitor, and eliminate bad actors in this rapidly growing economy. Hence, we're now researching and building our own blockchain intelligence software to manage risk and compliance for regulators and crypto businesses (VASP).Also, we consult and help launch crypto platforms, trading systems, and financial tools.During my time as a consultant, my team and I have helped develop and launch more than 50 products for our clients. We use what we learn from successful as well as failed projects to equip ourselves for our next venture. We've learned to listen to our customers and users religiously; we don't build something just because we can.
