Reliable Blockchain Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Huda Al Otaibi / Head of Digital Transformation | Oct 18, 2026

Exploding Phone did an excellent job for us. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with Exploding Phone to build a Web3 dashboard and wallet integration for our platform. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Tobias Müller / IT Manager | Jul 24, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Stephanie Sullivan / IT Director | Jun 02, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Exploding Phone. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Heather Miller / Chief Digital Officer | Mar 20, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Communication was consistent.

Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Ravi Khan / Managing Director | Jan 03, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.
