Our Team
At Trilitech, our mission is to power the Web3 revolution by building cutting-edge solutions on the Tezos blockchain. We specialise in core development, application development, and business development across three key areas: Culture, Decentralised Finance, and Gaming. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and continue to set new standards in this ever-evolving space.

Our Technology
Tezos is an open-source platform known for its flexibility, security, and self-amendment capabilities. It’s built to empower developers to create smart contracts and decentralised applications with ease. Today, the Tezos ecosystem is made up of thousands of passionate community members actively involved in various projects and initiatives including the development of decentralised applications, smart contracts, and educational content. We’re proud to partner with the likes of Manchester United, McLaren Racing, Ubisoft, and Societe Generale (to name a few). Some of the exciting projects built on the Tezos blockchain are Hic Et Nunc, Objkt.com, OneOf and Kukai.

We encourage you to explore the Tezos website and follow us on Twitter & Discord to learn more about the project.
