Web3 and blockchain in Wellington.
The interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
Wellington runs on government, tech and screen, and most of that work runs on documents. We build AI that reads, drafts and files them, on New Zealand infrastructure.
What web3 and blockchain means here
Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
- Smart contract design and review before anything holds value
- Tokenisation of real assets, with the custody question answered first
- Decentralised identity (DID and SSID) for verifiable credentials
- Honest advice on when a distributed ledger is the wrong tool

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)

What does this look like for a Wellington business?
Wellington runs on policy, tech, and tight talent pools. AI here is about scaling expertise - not replacing it. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.

Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
Where do you start?
