Capabilities

The question isn't "do you do X?". The question is "what real pain do you need to solve?".

We don't sell technology. We sell friction removal. Blockchain, AI, web2 or IoT come in when they reduce concrete pain — not because they're trendy. What's listed below are the fronts where we've already shipped production results, with mapped pain and defined users.

6 fronts shipping in production

Each front lists the pain it solves before the tech it uses. If none fits cleanly, talk to us before turning it into a project.

01 · WEB3

Web3 & DeFi

Smart contracts and protocols that survive production — not conference prototypes.

Pains we solve

  • ›Payments between AI agents without draining the wallet to a bug or prompt injection
  • ›Verifiable collateral without revealing position (ZK)
  • ›Cross-chain settlement with on-chain finality proof
  • ›Real-world asset tokenization with auditable provenance

What we ship

  • — EVM, Soroban, Starknet (Cairo) or Solana auditable smart contracts
  • — Indexers and dashboards (Ponder.sh, Subgraph, custom)
  • — x402 integration / agent payments / spending policies
  • — ZK circuits (Noir, Cairo) and on-chain verifiable proofs

02 · AI

AI Agents & RAG

AI agents wired to real systems — models that decide, chains that prove.

Pains we solve

  • ›Support that must answer in <5s but cannot hallucinate the return policy
  • ›Evaluating human contributions with calibrated criteria and traceability
  • ›Agent pipelines that audit each other before producing output
  • ›Assisted generation where the user must understand the why, not just receive the output

What we ship

  • — RAG systems with pgvector, Pinecone or Qdrant + eval with golden dataset
  • — Agents with tool calling (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and prompt injection guardrails
  • — Streaming UX with prompt caching (cuts cost 60–90%)
  • — Multi-agent orchestration with peer review and ratification

03 · WEB2

Web2 & Digital Products

SaaS, e-commerce, dashboards and PWAs on a solid base — Next.js + Tailwind + Postgres.

Pains we solve

  • ›Move beyond Instagram DMs into a single place to send buyers
  • ›Report incidents in real time without exposing the resident's identity
  • ›Hybrid PIX + crypto checkout in a single flow
  • ›Admin panel that separates internal operations from publicly auditable code

What we ship

  • — Next.js 16 / React 19 / Tailwind 4 (same stack as this site)
  • — Auth with Privy, Clerk, Supabase or NextAuth
  • — Payment with Mercado Pago (PIX + 12x), Stripe, NOWPayments
  • — PWA with offline-first, push, install-to-homescreen

04 · BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain Infrastructure

Indexers, oracles, wallet integration and orchestration layers — when a dApp isn't enough.

Pains we solve

  • ›Integrating 5+ different chains without maintaining 5 parallel backends
  • ›Indexing events with retry and back-pressure when the RPC is unstable
  • ›Wallet connect that grandma can use (without losing self-custody)

What we ship

  • — Custom indexing stack (Ponder.sh, viem, ethers)
  • — Smart accounts (ERC-4337), gasless transactions
  • — Bridge integration (LayerZero, Wormhole, canonical)

05 · IOT

Industrial IoT

Telemetry, predictive maintenance and shop-floor modernization — where downtime costs real money.

Pains we solve

  • ›Critical equipment fails and nobody saw it coming
  • ›Human operator running repetitive visual inspection for 8h
  • ›Sensor data trapped in the PLC, never reaching the ERP

What we ship

  • — Edge gateway (MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus) with offline buffer
  • — Time-series database (TimescaleDB, ClickHouse) + Grafana
  • — Computer vision for quality inspection
  • — Integration with SAP, Totvs, Sankhya and custom ERPs

“Production line modernization + computer vision inspection in production (confidential client)”

06 · MOBILE

Mobile & PWA

Native app when you need hardware. PWA when you need to ship value in a week.

Pains we solve

  • ›No budget for a native app but needs home-screen install + push
  • ›Rural courier with patchy signal needs to register delivery offline

What we ship

  • — Mobile-first PWA with Service Worker and strategic caching
  • — React Native (Expo) when App Store / Play Store is required
  • — Deep links, biometrics, push notifications, offline-first sync

Framework

How we decide what to build

Before choosing a feature, choose the pain. Before writing code, talk to the user. Before drafting a roadmap, validate the money flow. This is the framework we apply on every project — internal and client.

  1. 01

    Identify a real pain

    Frequent, measurable, felt by the user today — not aspirational.

  2. 02

    Define a specific user

    Not "Brazilian SMBs". Something like "Instagram import shop selling R$ 5–15k/month".

  3. 03

    Map the current flow

    Where money enters, where it leaves, where delay, cost, risk or lack of access lives.

  4. 04

    Find the friction

    The exact point where the user gives up, pays more, waits longer or loses data.

  5. 05

    Connect to a Deega capability

    Tech enters here — and only here. If none of the 6 fronts above fits, better to talk before it becomes a project.

  6. 06

    Define the minimum product

    The smallest slice that proves the hypothesis. Everything else is v2.

  7. 07

    Find the first user

    By name. Schedule a conversation. Without this, it's theater.

  8. 08

    Establish a validation metric

    A single number that says "continue" or "stop". Without it, every project drags on forever.

Today, the goal isn't to have the perfect idea. It's to walk away with a clear, specific, testable hypothesis.

Where we see real pain in Brazil & LatAm

Not an exhaustive list. These are zones where friction is expensive, the user is clear, and the right tech moves the needle.

PIX + Stablecoins

Receive in PIX and operate in USD/USDC without manual conversion and stacked fees.

  • — Hybrid checkout (Mercado Pago + USDC)
  • — USDC payroll with PIX cash-out

LatAm Remittances

Sending money between BR/AR/MX/CO still costs 3–8% and takes days.

  • — Cash-in/cash-out via stablecoins
  • — Self-custody wallet with local coverage

Civic Tech & Privacy

Official tools demand heavy sign-up, violate privacy, and aren't auditable.

  • — Auditable anonymous reports (Safe City)
  • — Selective ZK proofs for social programs

Brazilian Industrial IoT

National industry still loses 5–15% OEE due to missing real-time data.

  • — Predictive maintenance on legacy machinery
  • — Computer vision for quality inspection

Agent Payments (x402)

AI agents already pay for APIs/data but nothing protects the wallet from prompt injection.

  • — On-chain spending policies (SpendGuard)
  • — Custodial vault with kill switch

RWA Tokenization

Real asset (receivable, real estate, commodity) trapped in a spreadsheet with no liquidity.

  • — Tokenized receivable with PIX flow
  • — Carbon credit with on-chain provenance

How we work

Four formats. Choose by the nature of the problem, not by the budget.

fixed

Fixed scope

Clear brief, 2–8 week delivery, fixed price, clean handoff. Works when the pain is already mapped.

Ideal for: MVP, high-stakes landing, specific integration.

retainer

Monthly retainer

Dedicated or partial team for X hours/month. Longer roadmap, dynamic priorities.

Ideal for: Evolving product, growing internal team.

embed

Team embed

A Deega engineer joins your team as temporary tech lead — unblocks technical decisions and architecture.

Ideal for: Technical founder needing a solid second opinion; team without specific expertise.

hackathon

Hackathon kickoff

We help your team go from "we want to compete at hackathon X" to a clear, specific, testable hypothesis in one discovery session — before writing the first line.

Ideal for: Hackathon teams that want to avoid the classic trap: starting from tech, not pain.

Ready to start

Tell us the pain. We walk out with a visual brief in 15 minutes.

We don't charge to run discovery. The brief is yours — take it to any call, any agency, any team. We believe clarity beats retention.
