Keyko

Keyko is a strategic engineering powerhouse specializing in the delivery of superior Web3 and AI solutions. Founded in September 2019 by the core engineering team from Ocean Protocol, Keyko has established itself as a trusted partner for both Web3-native companies and enterprise organizations seeking to unlock the power of blockchain technology.

Core Products & Services

Keyko offers comprehensive Web3 engineering services across the full product development lifecycle. Their expertise spans smart contract development, full-stack Web3 implementation, decentralized AI agents, blockchain protocol engineering, and enterprise blockchain integration. The company provides both strategic consulting and hands-on engineering delivery, helping clients accelerate from concept to mainnet launch.

Key Strengths

What sets Keyko apart is their battle-tested track record in delivering complex Web3 infrastructure projects. The team has successfully launched four major ecosystem projects in under 24 months, contributing to combined ecosystem market caps exceeding €8 billion and generating over €180 million in combined revenue.
