SaaS MVP Development for Stockholm
A SaaS MVP is the smallest version of a subscription software product that proves customers will use and pay for it. For Stockholm clients we usually begin with billing (plans, trials and invoices) and analytics, then add launch & iterate and discovery sprint. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
NFT & Web3 Marketplace for Stockholm
An NFT or Web3 marketplace lets users mint, buy, sell and trade digital assets on-chain. For Stockholm clients we usually begin with minting (lazy minting and collections) and trading, then add royalties and fiat on-ramp. Typical first release: 10–16 weeks.
Crypto Payment Gateway for Stockholm
A crypto payment gateway lets merchants accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, with instant conversion to fiat if required. For Stockholm clients we usually begin with stablecoin rails (uSDT/USDC on Tron, Ethereum, Polygon and Solana) and auto-conversion, then add payouts and compliance. Typical first release: 10–16 weeks.
Digital Wallet & E-Wallet App for Stockholm
A digital wallet app stores money or payment credentials so users can pay, transfer and top up from their phone. For Stockholm clients we usually begin with ledger & reconciliation (double-entry wallet ledger with audit trail) and kyc tiers, then add p2p & qr payments and top-ups & cash-out. Typical first release: 12–20 weeks.
