Capable Blockchain Development team — happy with the end result

Nathan O'Brien / Director | Sep 18, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

I would recommend gunpowderlabs to anyone looking for a dependable Blockchain Development partner.

Project summary

We engaged gunpowderlabs to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 7 months.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Liam Roy / Chief Digital Officer | Sep 14, 2026

Our experience with gunpowderlabs was really positive from start to finish. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

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

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Professional Mobile App Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Hui Min Chua / Senior Engineering Manager | Aug 20, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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 dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Skilled AI & Machine Learning Team That Understood Our Business

We were happy with the final result. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.
