Protofire

Protofire was launched in 2016 as a blockchain spin-off of Altoros and has since evolved into one of the most experienced development teams in Web3. With over 85 engineers spread across 17 countries, the company focuses on helping blockchain projects move from concept to deployment, ensuring measurable outcomes such as increased TVL, user retention, and protocol adoption. Protofire serves clients ranging from base-layer networks (L1/L2) to advanced DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and Web3 onboarding services.

Their service model includes three core pillars: ideation, implementation, and long-term support. This full-stack delivery cycle allows Protofire to provide tailor-made development strategies and deliverables using both in-house and third-party components. The team builds everything from secure smart contract infrastructure to fully branded decentralized apps, staking modules, and even community incentive programs.

Notable deployments include the ve8020 Launchpad built for Balancer, a staking module for Aethir's decentralized GPU network, and custom payroll applications for AragonDAO. The team has also contributed to CoW Protocol, Kadena, and various other leading projects by providing robust oracle integrations, custom block explorers, and dApp frontends.

What truly sets Protofire apart is its focus on business outcomes. Every engagement is aligned with core metrics like TVL growth, wallet activity, and liquidity acquisition. They offer flexible working models, including DAO-aligned incentives and direct product partnerships via their in-house Venture Studio. With more than 35 million transactions executed through their smart contracts and over 600,000 unique wallets interacting with their deployments, Protofire’s impact is widespread and proven.

Competitors such as Thirdweb, Alchemy, and Moralis offer developer tooling and APIs, but Protofire stands out by offering fully managed product solutions, tailored consulting, and technical execution under one roof.
