What it's like to work with us?

Take it from those who come back:
From prototyping, to economic modelling to coding – the guys show an incredible technical grasp and excellence. They are competent, responsive, and always up-to-date – a good partner anyone can safely rely on. With robust research and comprehensive due diligence they are sure to offer fresh perspective on how to strengthen even the most technically complicated projects.
Visionary mindset and precise execution, — that's how I'd describe Alexandra. She sees the whole picture, down to the tiny details, and carves a path to deliver results swiftly and efficiently. The thorough and holistic approach Alexandra takes has helped me a number of times to look at things from a new angle. Adding to that strong communication skills and a great personality, — I'm grateful to have her in my network, and look forward to working with her again.
When I was first introduced to Alex I wondered: 'who's this guy with a sense of humor on Telegram?'. Later on I got to discover a sharp, focused individual that didn't feel the urge of cutting corners just to get a project over the fence. Besides an outstanding comprehension of all things Ethereum and beyond, his proposals always took into account both short and long term considerations, which isn't that at all common. A great professional to work with.
My experience working with Byzantine.Solutions team was pretty amazing.
I really appreciate multisector expertise of the team and am thankful for not only achieving all the goals on time but also consulting and advising on side topics. Together we've succeeded to develop technical documentation for the unique data privacy centered network and also conducted feasibility experiments. So once again, great job, Byzantine.Solutions! Looking forward for the new quests to solve together with you.
