What we deliver

Advisory that goes beyond the whitepaper

Every engagement is scoped to your specific context. These are the core deliverables across a typical blockchain advisory mandate.

Protocol Evaluation

Structured assessment of public, private, and consortium chains against your specific use case, throughput requirements, and regulatory environment.

Architecture Design

On-chain/off-chain data split, smart contract architecture, oracle strategy, and key management design — documented and ready for engineering handoff.

Tokenomics & Incentive Design

Economic modelling for token issuance, staking, governance, and fee structures that align participant incentives with long-term protocol health.

Regulatory Mapping

Jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis of applicable frameworks (FCA, MiCA, SEC guidance) with a compliance posture recommendation.

Vendor & Partner Selection

Objective evaluation of node infrastructure providers, custody solutions, and integration partners — with no vendor kickbacks.

Implementation Roadmap

Phased delivery plan with milestones, resource requirements, risk register, and go/no-go criteria at each stage.

Case studies

Advisory in practice

Financial Services

Cross-border settlement layer for a UK fintech

Challenge

A London-based payments company was losing 3–5 days and significant margin on correspondent banking routes for emerging-market remittances.

Approach

Alphaveta evaluated six Layer-1 and Layer-2 protocols against the client's throughput, finality, and compliance requirements. We designed a hybrid architecture using a permissioned sidechain for settlement with public chain anchoring for auditability.

Outcome

Settlement time reduced from T+3 to under 4 hours. Annual correspondent banking fees cut by £2.4M. Regulatory approval obtained within the existing e-money licence scope.

Supply Chain

Provenance tracking for a luxury goods manufacturer

Challenge

A European luxury brand faced growing counterfeiting losses and lacked a verifiable chain of custody from raw material to retail.

Approach

We designed an NFT-based provenance system on a low-energy EVM-compatible chain, with NFC chip integration at the physical product level and a consumer-facing verification portal.

Outcome

End-to-end provenance now verifiable in under 3 seconds. Counterfeit incidents in monitored markets dropped 60% in the first year. Secondary market resale value increased as authenticity became provable.
