LinkedIn profileAbout Alphaveta
A specialist blockchain advisory firm, registered in England & Wales
Alphaveta Ltd was founded in 2022 to bridge the gap between blockchain's technical potential and the practical needs of regulated businesses. We are based at CEME Innovation Centre, Marsh Way, Rainham, RM13 8EU.
Our founding team came from financial services, enterprise software, and cryptographic security — disciplines that matter when blockchain moves from whitepaper to production.
Our story
Built by practitioners, not theorists
Alphaveta was founded after our team spent years watching enterprises make costly mistakes with blockchain — either adopting it where it added no value, or avoiding it where it could have transformed their operations. We set out to provide the kind of candid, technically grounded advice that was missing from the market.
Our first engagement was a smart contract audit for a UK fintech in early 2022. Since then we have worked with clients across financial services, logistics, media, and the public sector — always with the same commitment: honest advice, rigorous delivery, and measurable outcomes.
We are a small, senior team. Every client engagement is led by a principal — not handed to a junior. That is a deliberate choice, and one we intend to maintain as we grow.

LinkedIn profileWhat we stand for
Our values
Trust and Transparency
We provide honest advice, share our reasoning openly, and decline engagements where we cannot add genuine value. Our company registration and registered address are publicly verifiable.
Deep Technical Expertise
Our team has shipped production blockchain systems across Ethereum, Polygon, Hyperledger Fabric, and emerging L2 ecosystems. We stay current because we build, not just advise.
Client-First Outcomes
Every engagement is scoped around measurable business outcomes — not technology for its own sake. We measure success by what changes for our clients, not by the complexity of what we build.
