Built around
the difficult
questions.
Custom software engineering and research into more efficient systems.
Understand deeply.
Build deliberately.
Beacon & Chain Labs brings together research and custom software engineering. We work on questions of system efficiency and offer software development tailored to client requirements.
Project Entropy investigates algorithms aimed at improving blockchain efficiency. Project Genesis explores how research can improve the efficiency of centralized markets.
We welcome conversations with researchers and collaborators interested in these questions, and clients looking for custom software solutions.
Start with the problem.
Define the right software.
We offer custom software development for your specific requirements. The starting point is understanding what you need the software to do, who will use it, and the constraints it must work within.
Have a project in mind? Tell us about the problem, the intended users, and what a useful outcome would look like.
Discuss a software project ↗First principles
Work from the constraints of the problem, rather than the conventions of the category.
Evidence over certainty
Make assumptions visible and let observation change the design.
A longer horizon
Build understanding and infrastructure that can remain useful as technologies change.
