How We Engage

We design and build on-chain systems for institutional clients and protocol teams who need a serious engineering partner. Engagements begin with structured discovery, progress through defined development milestones, and conclude with operational handover and documented incident response procedures. Pricing reflects scope, integration complexity, and the duration of post-launch support.

This is the default route. Most engagements run this way.

Audicity takes part or all of its compensation in equity. We consider this where a founder is building something that aligns with our long-term thesis on decentralised infrastructure, where the team is credible and the path to production is clear, and where our involvement would materially advance what the founder is building rather than substitute for capability they should be acquiring themselves.

Structures vary by engagement. Some are pure equity. Most are hybrid: a reduced cash fee alongside an equity component. Specific terms (vesting, milestones, valuation reference, instrument type) are agreed engagement by engagement and documented in a standard subscription or warrant agreement.

This route is competitive. We accept a limited number of these engagements per year.

Audicity deploys its own capital, across siloed funds, into a small number of projects per year. Where a project demonstrates clear product-market alignment, sound economic design, and a credible execution path, and where Audicity’s operational capability is genuinely additive to what capital alone would provide, we will consider participating as an investor alongside or in addition to a build engagement.

Investments are made on a conviction-led basis and subject to internal review. Capital is deployed through Audicity’s investment entity, structured for clear separation from operating activities.
