Work.
Nine case studies below — each one with its own page covering scope, engineering decisions, stack, and public surface. Followed by every other engagement in active or shipped state.
EVM L1 with Contribution-Scored PoW consensus and native Account Abstraction at genesis. Chain on mainnet. Ongoing protocol partnership.
Layer-1 blockchain where mining is real AI inference. Protocol and platform built end to end — consensus, verification, privacy, settlement, platform API.
Cross-chain stablecoin issuance infrastructure for institutional issuers. Outstaff engagement under MSDA.
Bitfury-backed L1 for AI compute. Zpoken contributes to Proof-of-Compute consensus, the bridge security stack, and app.gonka.ai. Network at 11K+ GPUs, $50M raised.
Decentralized identity infrastructure for the agentic economy. Embedded with Alien's dev team across L1, Solana, and Agent ID design. $7.1M pre-seed.
The Immersive Compute Network — DePIN for real-time streaming of AI-powered 3D experiences. Zpoken builds the network's L3 chain, Guardian node stack, and staking portal.
Bond-backed stablecoin protocol — UAHe, TRYe, VNDe — deployed across 3 chains on LayerZero. Internal Zpoken protocol.
Institutional finance chain (Digital Asset). Daml-aware indexer infrastructure with privacy-respecting state model and explorer-grade query API.
Panther Protocol's Base deployment, carried under a unanimously approved DAO grant. PantherPoolV1 deployed December 2025, live since its January 2026 activation; dApp work ongoing.
More work.
Every other Zpoken engagement, paying or contributor — listed once, no ranking, all shipped. Rows link the public record where one exists: a live product, a repository, or an ecosystem page.
Multi-chain vault engineering on Cosmos and Ethereum for Sommelier's cross-chain yield protocol.
Circuit work and the Ethereum-side integration where credentials are verified on-chain.
Smart contract engineering and performance testing on the EVM compatibility layer for Solana.
Paid cryptography engagement for the zkSync stack. Scope stays under NDA.
The initial Penumbra web wallet — the Chrome listing that is today Prax — plus wallet SDK, gRPC services, and a block explorer. Contributions merged upstream, 2022–2024.
Cryptography review and support on Hinkal's core contracts — HinkalBase, the Merkle layer, CircomDataBuilder, VerifierFacade.
A Rust agent with its own smart wallet — an LLM function-calling loop evaluates pitched tokens against quantitative criteria, then executes its own buys on Raydium. Code public.
On-chain agent that creates and prices custom prediction markets and pools funds against the user.
Lending core and periphery deployed on Ethereum and Solana. Repositories public under lendos-labs.
The first native money market on Injective — lending, collateral management, and margin positions. Contracts public, Zpoken engineers in the contributor record.
Money-market engineering on Manta Pacific.
Money-market engineering on Stellar's Soroban smart-contract platform.
Decentralized derivatives exchange on a Cosmos app-chain with an Ethereum collateral bridge.
Orderbook DEX integrating traditional-finance flow with on-chain execution.
RFQ orderbook mechanism for institutional flow, built on Solana.
Earlier in the firm's history, Zpoken engineers shipped computer vision and machine learning applications outside the crypto thesis — drone and satellite image processing, RPA automation. The work shipped and the engineers are senior, but it isn't representative of what the firm sells today. Noted here for completeness; the firm's current scope is the four capability pillars.
Looking for capability framing rather than case-by-case detail? Each case page links its capability — L1/L2, applied cryptography & ZK, decentralized AI, DeFi & stablecoins.
Talk to a founder.
If one of these engagements looks like your problem — takeover, contributor, or core development — the engagement starts with a 30-minute call.
That call is with a founder. Shapes, discovery, and terms → /engagement
