Example: crypto & Web3 software for a fintech business in Nha Trang
Consider a fintech company in Nha Trang (tourism and hospitality). A typical crypto & Web3 software engagement would start with compliance tooling, then exchanges, and finish the first release with wallets & custody — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through MoMo, data would be handled under Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law, and success would be measured on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.

Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law: compliance checklist for crypto & Web3 software
Before launch in Vietnam, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Vietnam customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Vietnam.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with State Bank of Vietnam applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for crypto & Web3 software in Vietnam
For clients in Vietnam we usually host on Singapore, Mumbai or Sydney cloud regions. The choice balances latency for local users, Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising crypto & Web3 software for Vietnam
Business in Vietnam is mainly conducted in Vietnamese. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and VND amounts the local way, and plan releases around the ICT (UTC+7) working day.
