01 Why Aether
Ideas are cheap.
Execution is everything.
Most agencies hand you a roadmap and a slide deck. We hand you a working product, live with real users, and we stay on to keep it running.
Senior people, start to finish
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. No hand-offs to junior teams, no account managers in the middle.
Plain language, clear milestones
You always know what's being built, what it costs and when it lands. No jargon, no black boxes, no surprises.
The usual way
- Months of discovery workshops
- Junior developers after the contract is signed
- Status reports instead of software
- Hand-off at launch, then you're on your own
The Aether way
- A clear plan, agreed quickly
- Senior engineers from the very first call
- Working software you can see every week
- We launch it, run it and keep improving it

03 How we work
Working with us
is simple.
No 50-page proposals. No guessing what's happening. Four steps from first call to a running product.
01
30 minutes
Talk
Tell us what you want to build or fix. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team for it.
02
Clear plan
Scope
We turn it into a plain plan: what gets built, in what order, and what it costs. Milestones you can hold us to.
03
Weekly demos
Build
Senior engineers build it. You see working software every week, not slide decks or status reports.
04
Live & running
Run
We launch to production and stay on to run, monitor and improve it. Or we hand it over cleanly. Your call.
Build with us
You bring the idea or the platform. We bring senior technical leadership and take it to production, or take back control of a platform that has drifted.
Our own ventures
We also build and operate our own products, from the protocol up. Everything we sell, we've had to run ourselves.
04 Ventures
Products we build
and run ourselves.
We conceive, architect and operate our own ventures. That's how we know what it really takes to keep a product alive after launch.
Flagship · Payments infrastructure
AION Protocol
Stablecoin payments, without the gas.
AION lets people pay in stablecoins without ever holding "gas" fees and without handing over their funds. Thousands of payments are bundled and settled with a single proof on the blockchain, so it's cheap, fast and verifiable.

- x402supports the new HTTP payment standard, with a live facilitator

Tokenised trade finance
StratumFi
Unpaid invoices, turned into working capital.
Businesses tokenise their trade receivables on Base, unlocking cash from invoices that would otherwise sit for 30 to 90 days. We built the full stack: audited contracts, role-based access and an operator console.
BaseSolidityRWA
Prediction markets
Zorro
Short-term markets, priced properly.
Traders take a view on where an asset will be at the end of a fixed time slot. Live oracle prices and a Black-Scholes pricing model run directly on-chain, and settlement happens once per slot, cheaply and predictably.
SolidityPythQuant pricingiOS
Decentralised markets
Hilo
Prediction markets that settle themselves.
The community, not a central operator, decides outcomes. Odds move live with every trade, traders can exit early, and disputed results go to a staked challenge and holder vote.

and real users.
Senior technical leadership for teams in regulated, fast-moving markets, from neobank infrastructure to athlete performance platforms.
Zebec
Spend crypto like cash, from any of ten chains.

USDT accounts & IBAN
Stablecoins in, bank money out, and back again.
Infrastructure that lets businesses hold USDT and send or receive money through an IBAN, with conversion handled behind the scenes. Covers on- and off-ramps, merchant payments, card issuing, KYC/AML screening and proof-of-reserves.
USDTIBANBaaSKYC / AML
Remittance & stablecoin issuance
Money across borders, backed and verifiable.
Cross-border remittance apps running on prefunded stablecoin float, plus the technical side of issuing a stablecoin: from mint and redeem contracts to reserve reporting.

AgAu
Tokenised gold and silver, brought back in-house.
We lead technical oversight and report directly to the board through a 90-day stabilisation programme: moving the codebase in-house from the previous vendor, replacing a payments component and laying the groundwork for AgAu's own FX engine.
Technical leadershipVendor handoverRWA
Chainbling
Property ownership, a tap away.
We built and shipped the iOS app that lets investors buy into real estate from their phone. Each property is a compliant token; investors verify in-app, hold their stake without managing keys and receive rental income automatically.

An athlete platform for academies, federations and clinics. It joins wearables, AI movement analysis, AI coaching, nutrition and clinical records into one profile, and a readiness score coaches can act on every morning.

Dodge Agent
A casual action mobile game that passed 10 million downloads. It taught us how to hold attention, scale infrastructure and ship updates to millions of live players.
Legends of the Rift
The Rifters collection became one of the top NFT projects on OpenSea. We built the contracts, the collection and the game world around it.
06 PRAETOR Intelligence
When you need answers
no one else can find.
Our intelligence practice. The same technical depth we use to build protocols, pointed at finding facts: who is behind a wallet, an account or a company, and what can be proven.
Blockchain forensics
Smart contract review, tracing funds across wallets, bridges and exchanges, and expert technical opinion.
Open-source intelligence
Research on people, companies and online accounts, linking anonymous identities across platforms.
Private investigation
Discreet work for founders, investors, law firms and individuals, with evidence preserved to a standard that holds up in court.
Every engagement is confidential. We report findings plainly, separating what is proven from what is likely.
