THE PROBLEM
BLOCKCHAIN HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL BUT IS INACCESSIBLE
2
COMPLICATED
• Businesses and developers
need to understand a whole
ecosystem of new tech
• Data insights are difficult and
in some cases unattainable
EXPENSIVE
• Proofs of Concepts can cost
six figures
• Increasing gas fees make an
application costly,
unsustainable and impractical
to move
RIGID
• Direct integration to specific
blockchains makes
applications rigid
• Solutions become specific, not
scalable

IS THE
SOLUTION
WE MAKE BLOCKCHAIN:
SIMPLE
Even non-coders can build a smart contract. Our
graph search is simple and gives powerful insights.
SCALABLE
Build once, deploy anywhere, and scale dynamically
as needed. Applications become agile.
SUSTAINABLE
Rapidly develop portable applications that are easy to
migrate to more cost effective blockchains. Upgrading
apps is seamless, adaptable to the ever changing
crypto ecosystem.
