Founders, CTOs, and enterprise teams are building decentralized applications, tokenization platforms, DeFi products, blockchain infrastructure, AI-powered Web3 tools, gaming economies, and secure on-chain workflows. That shift has changed what it means to hire a Web3 agency. The best web3 development companies are no longer just Solidity teams. They need to understand product strategy, smart contract security, backend systems, wallet integrations, token standards, user experience, cloud infrastructure, compliance risks, and post-launch support. In short, they need to build products that real users can trust. This guide compares 10 leading global Web3 agencies and technology companies based on services, expertise, delivery model, security focus, reputation, and project fit. It is written for teams that want a practical vendor comparison rather than a promotional list. Methodology: How These Companies Were Compared This ranking is based on a practical buyer’s perspective rather than brand awareness alone. A well-known company is not always the right fit for every project, and a smaller agency may be better suited for a startup that needs speed, flexibility, and product guidance. We reviewed each company using the following criteria. Technical Expertise We looked at experience across major blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Layer-2 networks. We also considered whether a company focuses only on application development or can support more complex architecture. Service Breadth The strongest vendors usually provide more than smart contract development. They may also offer blockchain consulting, dApp development, backend engineering, UX/UI design, wallet integration, NFT marketplace development, tokenization, DeFi development, QA, DevOps, and post-launch support.

As a Community Partner of Infoshare 2026, ND Labs was glad to support a conference that brings together technology leaders, founders, engineers, investors, and companies shaping the future of digital products. After attending the event, ND Labs’ CEO Dmitriy Khanevich noted that AI was not treated as a separate innovation track anymore. It appeared across infrastructure, cybersecurity, product development, and business strategy discussions, which is a clear signal for Web3 founders building the next generation of digital products. The conversation is moving from “How can we use AI?” to a much more important question: How can we integrate AI safely, reliably, and meaningfully into real products? AI Is Becoming Infrastructure, Not Just a Feature One of the strongest signals from Infoshare was that AI is moving deeper into the infrastructure layer. Behind every simple AI-powered API, there is a complex technical reality: GPUs, latency, cold starts, routing, inference costs, model availability, and scalability. For users, AI often looks like a simple interface. For product teams, it is a system that needs architecture, cost control, reliability, and performance planning. This is especially important for Web3 founders. Web3 products already operate in environments where performance, trust, and security matter. Wallets, DeFi platforms, RWA solutions, analytics tools, DAO infrastructure, and decentralized applications cannot treat AI as a simple plug-in. If AI becomes part of the user experience, the product team must answer critical questions: Can the system scale when usage grows? What happens when AI latency affects a key user flow? How much does each AI interaction cost? Where does user data go? Can the output be trusted? This is also why AI-augmented Web3 development is becoming more relevant for founders: AI can sp…

encoded: How ND Labs turned Fan Passes, athlete discovery, Vault ownership, and squad-based rewards into a mobile-first NIL marketplace experience for women’s collegiate sports. The NIL economy has changed how college athletes, brands, fans, universities, and communities interact. Since student-athletes gained the ability to monetize their name, image, and likeness, the market has moved from basic sponsorship matching toward more advanced digital platforms. Today, a NIL marketplace can help athletes become discoverable, connect with brands, receive fan support, sell digital products, unlock community experiences, and build long-term monetization channels. But the next product question is not only how athletes get paid. How do you turn one-time NIL support into a repeatable fan engagement experience? That was the core idea behind the NIL Marketplace prototype designed by ND Labs — a mobile-first sports fintech concept for women’s collegiate sports. The product explores how fans can discover athletes, purchase Fan Passes, unlock exclusive content, store passes in a personal Vault, and build squads to earn loyalty rewards. In other words, the prototype was not designed as a simple digital collectibles marketplace. It was designed as a fan economy. You can view the full visual case study here: NIL Marketplace Case Study by ND Labs. What Is a NIL Marketplace? A NIL marketplace is a digital platform where college athletes can monetize their name, image, and likeness by connecting with brands, fans, businesses, donors, universities, collectives, and other partners. In a traditional NIL marketplace, athletes may create profiles, showcase their audience, list available opportunities, receive sponsorship requests, sell merchandise, book appearances, or participate in paid content campaigns. In a fan-driven NIL marketplace, the model can go further. Fans may be able to support athletes directly through digital products, memberships, personalized content, community access, exclusive exp…

encoded: Introduction Since the introduction of the non-fungible token concept, the NFTs were touted as a new way for digital creators to express themselves while protecting their digital ownership, allowing artists and brands to share and protect their work as never before. NFTs became one of the most significant and resilient contemporary innovations in tech, finance, art, fashion, sports, and memes. Most crypto enthusiasts consider it the future of digital art, offering artists new ways of earning from their creations. Let’s dig deeper into the topic of NFTs to understand what it is, how to use it and how to benefit from it. What is NFT? NFT stands for a non-fungible token, meaning it’s unique and irreplaceable. The main difference between an NFT and cryptocurrency is trading value. NFTs can’t be exchanged for equal value for each other because they possess a unique digital signature. Anything, including digital files, mp3s, or MP4 video files that are tokenized and stored on the digital ledger. Practically, any digital file can be an NFT, for example, a viral meme or even the first-ever posted tweet or street art work. NFTs are bought and sold on the NFT marketplaces like Open Sea, Rarible, Nifty Gateway, and others, which usually function as digital auction houses where bidders can suggest their price and pay with cryptocurrency, for example, Bitcoin, Ethereum or Dogecoin. As most of the marketplaces are built on Ethereum, Ether is the most common cryptocurrency used for purchasing non-fungible tokens. What is NFT Art? Basically, NFT art is a digital representation of an item that can be traded, used, or stored on a blockchain. NFT only exists on blockchain, where the ownership of it is recorded. When NFTs are sold for money, this means there are new opportunities for artists and collectors to own the work they create. Almost anything can fall into the NFT art category, from the regular graphic art to GIFs, animations, music and emojis. With the power of smart contracts…

encoded: Introduction In recent years, a groundbreaking innovation has emerged in the real estate industry that is reshaping the way we perceive property ownership and investment. This disruptive force is none other than real estate tokenization, a technology that leverages blockchain and cryptocurrencies to unlock new opportunities and efficiencies in the market. Tokenization, in essence, involves the process of transforming real estate assets into digital tokens. These tokens represent fractional ownership rights or shares in a property, enabling investors to buy, sell, and trade these tokens on secure and transparent blockchain platforms. By breaking down large real estate assets into smaller, more affordable units, tokenization democratizes access to lucrative investment opportunities that were previously reserved for institutional players or wealthy individuals. This article delves into the world of real estate tokenization, exploring its underlying technology, benefits, and potential implications for the industry. We will examine how tokenization enhances liquidity, improves transparency, reduces costs, and unlocks previously untapped markets. What is tokenization of real estate? The tokenization of real estate involves converting physical properties into digital tokens using blockchain technology. These tokens represent fractional ownership shares in the property and can be bought, sold, and traded on blockchain platforms. This process brings several benefits to the real estate industry. Firstly, it enhances liquidity by enabling faster and more efficient transactions. Tokenization eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing paperwork and costs associated with traditional real estate transactions. Transparency is another advantage. Blockchain’s immutable nature ensures that all ownership details and transactions are recorded and easily accessible. This transparency builds trust among investors and helps prevent fraudulent activities. Real estate tokenization also…

Smart contracts are an integral part of blockchain and are a must for blockchain-based solutions to operate efficiently. Reliable smart contracts simplify transactions between identified and anonymous parties. Most companies adopt smart contracts to reduce the costs and formality associated with traditional approaches while maintaining authenticity and credibility. They also help eliminate human errors and unreliable paperwork. These self-executing contracts are particularly valuable in use cases like asset tokenization, supply chain management, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Smart contracts are deployed using smart contract platforms. However, you need to choose a platform that best fits your business case. But how do you find the best smart contract platform? Let’s find out. Build Business in Web 3.0 with our Developers! click here What is a smart contract? Smart contracts are digital agreements between two entities that are executed on a blockchain network. In other words, smart contracts are stored on a public database and remain immutable once executed. Because smart contracts run on decentralized blockchains rather than a centralized server, they allow entities to reach a shared result in an accurate, timely, and secure manner. Each contract has a set of predefined conditions. When these conditions are met, the contract is automatically executed and the following events are triggered. An executed contract is a signed contract that initiates a contractual relationship between two or more entities. Once the smart contract is signed, each party commits to upholding the responsibilities they agreed to in the written form. Smart contracts are typically used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all involved parties can secure the result as soon as possible without time dela…

encoded: The NIL market has moved beyond basic sponsorship matching. Today’s platforms help brands discover athletes, manage campaigns, handle compliance, process payments, and measure performance. But as the market matures, a new question is becoming more important: what happens after the fan engages? For many NIL platforms, the answer is still underdeveloped. A campaign runs, an athlete posts, fans react, and the platform reports the results. But the fan, the most valuable long-term asset in sports, often remains outside the core product experience. For NIL platforms, the strategic opportunity is to move from being a marketplace for athlete-brand transactions to becoming infrastructure for athlete-brand-fan-university monetization. The next generation of NIL platforms will not only connect athletes and brands. They will build a fan engagement layer where fans actively participate, earn rewards, unlock access, and develop lasting relationships with athletes, brands, and teams. This is where Web3 for NIL platforms becomes relevant as infrastructure for repeatable engagement, measurable brand activation, new revenue streams, and stronger athlete-fan relationships. The best Web3 layer for NIL will not feel like crypto. It will feel like a better sports fan experience. As more NIL platforms offer similar deal-flow, payment, and campaign management tools, the next competitive advantage will come from owning more of the post-campaign relationship: fan engagement, rewards, access, loyalty, and revenue data. What Is Web3 for NIL Platforms? Web3 for NIL platforms is the use of blockchain-based infrastructure to support digital ownership, fan rewards, token-gated access, athlete passes, branded campaign activations, revenue splits, and persistent fan identity inside NIL and athlete-commerce products. In practice, Web3 should not make the NIL experience feel more technical. The best implementations hide blockchain complexity and focus on familiar fan actions: claiming a pass, unlockin…

encoded: Why This Decision Matters for Businesses When a business launches a wallet product, one of the earliest and most impactful decisions is whether the wallet should be custodial or non-custodial. This is not just a technical choice. It affects how your company handles security, compliance, user onboarding, recovery, support, and operational risk. It also shapes how users interact with your product and what responsibilities they expect your business to carry. Many teams approach this as a “security” decision. In reality, it’s a business architecture decision. The custody model defines who controls access, who owns risk, and how the product behaves in real-world use. This article breaks down custodial vs non-custodial wallet for businesses from a practical perspectiv, so you can choose the model that fits your product, customers, and long-term strategy. What Is a Custodial Wallet? A custodial wallet is a model where the business or a third-party provider plays a direct role in controlling or managing access to user assets. In practice, this means the company is responsible for key management, account access, and often recovery processes. From a user perspective, the experience can feel similar to traditional fintech products. Key characteristics Business-controlled or assisted access to assets Familiar onboarding (email/password-style flows) Easier recovery and support intervention Higher operational responsibility for the business Custodial models are often used in managed financial services, where user convenience and service control are priorities. What Is a Non-Custodial Wallet? A non-custodial wallet gives users direct control over their private keys or equivalent access mechanisms. The business provides the product interface and infrastructure, but does not act as the custodian of user funds in the same way. Key characteristics Users control access to their assets Business is not positioned as a direct custodian Aligns with self-custody expectations in Web3 Require…

encoded: Many companies know they need a wallet product, but they’re not sure whether to build it from scratch or launch using ready-made infrastructure. That decision often becomes a bottleneck. Choose wrong, and you risk delays, unnecessary costs, or a product that limits your roadmap. Both white-label and custom wallet development can work. The challenge is that they serve different business needs, timelines, and product strategies. What works for a startup validating an MVP won’t necessarily work for a fintech building a core platform feature. This article breaks down white label crypto wallet vs custom wallet development in practical terms. We’ll compare timeline, cost, flexibility, security, integrations, and long-term scalability, so you can decide which path actually fits your business. What Is a White-Label Crypto Wallet? A white label crypto wallet is a pre-built wallet solution that you can brand and configure for your product. Instead of starting from zero, you launch on top of an existing infrastructure. Core wallet features, like key management, transaction handling, and basic UI, are already in place. Your team focuses on branding, selected customizations, and go-to-market. Key characteristics Pre-built wallet foundation Faster launch timeline Standard wallet feature set Limited but practical customization Ideal for MVPs and fast market entry White-label works well when your goal is to launch quickly with a reliable baseline, rather than reinvent wallet infrastructure from scratch. What Is Custom Wallet Development? Custom crypto wallet development means building a wallet tailored to your specific product requirements. Instead of adapting to an existing system, the wallet is designed around your business logic, UX, integrations, and technical architecture. This gives your team full control—but requires more time, planning, and investment. Key characteristics Built around unique product requirements Full control over UX and architecture Deep integration flexibi…

encoded: Introduction Fashion NFTs have been transforming the way luxury brands, designers, and digital creators engage with audiences over the past few years. From virtual fashion shows and “phygital” drops to NFTs powered by digital twins and augmented reality, the fashion industry is rapidly embracing Web3 technologies. This guide explores how fashion NFTs are being used by top brands, the key trends to watch, and how to launch your own digital fashion assets in the evolving metaverse landscape. NFT Market overview The market for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has exploded in recent years, with global NFT sales volume exceeding $2 billion in Q1 2021, the NFT ecosystem reached a total market cap of approximately $15.9 billion by mid-2024 (Statista). While NFTs initially gained traction through digital art and collectibles, the fashion industry has emerged as one of the most innovative and fast-growing sectors. Luxury brands and independent designers are increasingly using NFTs to launch limited-edition digital apparel, offer blockchain-based authentication, and build immersive experiences through augmented reality and metaverse platforms. According to a 2024 report by Vogue Business, more than 42% of luxury fashion houses have introduced NFT-based campaigns—many tied to exclusive drops, virtual showrooms, and digital twins of physical garments. Gucci’s early NFT sneaker sale for $25,000 set the stage for broader adoption. Since then, brands such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Balmain have introduced phygital NFTs that bridge the gap between physical fashion and digital ownership. These tokens often come with unlockable content, VIP access, or sustainability insights verified on-chain. As Web3 technologies continue to reshape retail and consumer engagement, fashion NFTs are becoming a new channel for storytelling, identity, and brand loyalty. Whether you’re a designer, brand, collector, or investor, the rise of digital fashion assets presents unique creative and commercial opport…
