Origin
It started with BrainControl, a browser-based Bitcoin wallet I built while job-hunting. It gained traction on Reddit, caught 500 Startups' attention, and led to acceptance into Batch 9. After three months in Mountain View, we launched BlockStrap at TechCrunch Disrupt London. VentureBeat named us in their "5 startups that caught our eye" at Demo Day.
What we built
Neuroware provided blockchain compliance infrastructure to licensed FinTech operators and regulators across Southeast Asia. The funding (US$300K+) sustained operations for five years.
- Open-source blockchain wallet framework with themes and plugins, targeting mainstream developers
- SDK infrastructure for DBS Bank hackathon deployments (7 of 15 teams built on our stack)
- Helped Maybank implement MongoDB for PFM — first bank in Asia to adopt it for personal financial management
- BloqVerse — 30+ interconnected Ethereum smart contracts for an on-chain multiplayer RPG
- Core contributor to Automattic's BackPress framework
- Featured on CoinDesk and BFM Radio
Recognition
Neuroware was the only Malaysian company in Deloitte's inaugural Top 50 Global RegTech Companies list. VentureBeat ranked us Top 5 from 500 Startups Batch 9. The work directly informed the regulatory engagement that would later produce Project Castor and CoKeeps.
