Working with dOrg

dOrg is a full-stack Web3 development collective structured as a DAO-owned cooperative.

Practically, you get agency-level delivery with:

  • single point of contact,
  • scoped SoW,
  • clear milestones and invoices, and
  • senior project team assembled from vetted Web3 specialists.

The difference is structural:

~90% of your budget goes directly to the builders working on your project. There are no employees, only owners. That means tighter incentive alignment, lower extractive margin, and builders who have real skin in the game.

dOrg works with three types of clients:

Web3 protocol teams, software companies expanding into Web3, and institutions or NGOs.

Protocol teams hire dOrg to design and implement core architecture, clear technical debt, or rescue builds after failed audits.

Software companies use dOrg to add tokens, wallets, or on-chain features without hiring a new team from scratch.

Institutions and NGOs need audit-ready products and expert guidance on where blockchain actually adds value.

If you're trying to ship serious Web3 software, you're in the right place.

dOrg builds:

  • Protocols and infrastructure (L1/L2/L3s, DeFi, governance, identity)
  • Productized dApps (wallets, dashboards, creator platforms, coordination tools)
  • Ecosystem integrations (subgraphs, SDKs, API layers, dev tools) and
  • Institutional systems (grants, impact programs, on-chain incentives).

We also take on rescue and refactor projects, teams stuck after a failed build, a failed audit, or team changes who need senior engineers to stabilize and get back on track.

We're not a great fit for projects with no Web3 component, one-off hype tokens, or teams looking for the cheapest build rather than the right one.

If you're trying to ship real software on-chain and keep it running, we're probably a good match.

Engagement Models & Process

dOrg offers four engagement models:

  • Team extension (embedded builders working in your repos and rituals)
  • Milestone-based projects (a dedicated squad delivering a scoped outcome like an MVP, integration, or refactor)
  • Contract-to-hire (work with a dOrg builder for a fixed period, then hire them full-time if it's a match)
  • Expert advisory (short, high-leverage engagements for architecture reviews, audit prep, and high-stakes decisions).

We'll recommend the right model or a mix, after a short discovery call.

Working with dOrg follows a structured 6-step process:

(1) Intro call to understand your product, constraints, and timelines.

(2) Custom scoping to define requirements, tech stack, risks, and milestones.

(3) Proposal and SoW with team composition, timeline, and budget.

(4) Kickoff where we join your tools and align on rituals.

(5) Delivery in short cycles with demos, progress updates, and code reviews.

(6) Handover or continuation, we can hand off to your team, stay on for maintenance, help with future phases, or transition builders directly onto your team.

You always know who is doing what, what's next, and how far along you are.

Yes. This is common, especially for teams launching new Web3 initiatives.

Instead of jumping straight into a full build, dOrg starts with a Scoping Sprint, a focused 2-4 week engagement where we:

  • Help you clarify the problem and user journeys
  • Decide if and where Web3 actually makes sense
  • Choose your stack (L1/L2, infra, providers) and risk profile
  • Produce a realistic roadmap and budget for v1.

After the sprint, you can build with us or take the blueprint in-house. Either way, you'll have a clear technical foundation before committing to a full build budget.

Once scope is agreed, dOrg can start most engagements within 48 hours to one week.

Expert advisory engagements often begin within 48 hours.

Team extension and milestone projects typically start within one week, depending on the specific skills required and existing builder commitments.

If you have a hard deadline: an audit date, token launch, or going-live, we'll be upfront from the first call about what's realistically achievable.

dOrg is a global collective with builders across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

For each project, we assemble a team that overlaps with your working hours, not just whoever's available. You get shared working hours for live calls and pairing sessions, plus async-friendly communication for everything else (issues, PRs, docs, Looms).

If timezone overlap is critical for your workflow, tell us upfront and we'll design the team composition around that constraint from day one.

Yes, integrating with your existing stack is the default.

dOrg builders plug into the tools you already use: Slack, Discord, or Telegram for comms; Jira, Linear, Notion, or Asana for planning; GitHub or GitLab for repos and code reviews; Figma or Miro for product and design.

We join your standups, weeklies, and demos so we feel like part of your team, not a separate agency running in parallel.

If your current rituals are light or ad-hoc, we can also propose a minimal structure, a cadence, boards, and review flow, so the project moves fast without adding unnecessary overhead.

Tech, Security & Quality

dOrg works across the full Web3 and AI product stack.

- Smart contracts and protocols: Solidity, Vyper, and Cairo on Ethereum, major L2s, and non-EVM chains.

-Backends: TypeScript/Node.js, Python, and Go.

-Frontends: React and Next.js. Data and infrastructure: PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL, The Graph, containerized infra with CI/CD.

-AI and agents: LLM-powered features built in Python and TypeScript.


We also integrate with your existing Web2 stack, APIs, databases, auth, payment rails, and analytics.

If a specific niche falls outside our core expertise, we'll tell you upfront.

Yes. dOrg can cover the full flow from product thinking to design to engineering, or plug into your existing team for just the Web3 and engineering side.


On the product
side we help with discovery, scoping, user journeys, and prioritizing what to ship first. On design we deliver UX/UI flows, wireframes, clickable prototypes, and interface design for dApps, dashboards, and wallets.

We also build lightweight design systems so future work stays consistent.

If you already have a product or design team, we collaborate with them and focus our effort on the blockchain and engineering layer.

dOrg is not an audit firm, but we build with security-first practices and prepare your codebase for third-party audits.

Every project is led by a dOrg Tech Lead responsible for security standards.

We follow ecosystem-specific best practices, conduct internal and external code reviews, and work with you to prepare documentation, scope, and fixes before your auditor starts.

We can also help integrate monitoring, alerting, and incident-response practices post-launch.

Yes. dOrg doesn't disappear after launch.

Depending on your needs, we can stay on as an ongoing product or team extension to ship new features and improvements, offer a lighter maintenance engagement focused on fixes, upgrades, and security-related work, or support handover to your in-house team through documentation, walkthroughs, and pairing sessions, then jump back in for larger future phases.

We'll discuss what makes the most sense for your project once v1 scope is defined. The goal is always to leave your codebase in a state your team can own and operate confidently.

If you need a formal audit, we can coordinate with your chosen auditor or recommend vetted options.

Pricing, Contracts & Hiring

dOrg works on two billing models: milestone-based scope (fixed price per milestone tied to clear deliverables, broken down by role and rate) and ongoing engagement (agreed roles, rates, and a monthly budget cap for team extension).

In both cases you get a transparent breakdown of roles, rates, and estimated hours, no surprise fees, and nothing new is built without your approval.

 

You can pay in fiat or crypto. Budget ranges depend on project scope and team composition; we share typical ranges on a short discovery call once we understand your needs.

You do.

All code and assets produced for your project are assigned to you under the terms of the contract and SoW, with two standard exceptions: existing open-source libraries (which retain their original licenses) and any internal dOrg tooling or templates used across multiple clients.


If your legal team has specific IP language requirements, we're happy to align on those before starting. We've worked with legal teams across jurisdictions and are comfortable adapting to your standard contract terms.

Yes. dOrg regularly works as a white-label Web3 team for software companies and consultancies whose clients need blockchain capabilities.

We join calls under your brand, use your email domains and decks where relevant, and keep dOrg's involvement as visible or invisible as your client relationship requires. Your client sees you as the main vendor, we handle the Web3 heavy lifting behind the scenes.

This model works for agencies that want to expand into Web3 without building a specialized team from scratch.

Yes.

dOrg offers a contract-to-hire model: you work with a builder on your actual roadmap for a defined period, evaluate fit in real conditions, and if it works, we support the transition to a full-time hire.

This de-risks hiring significantly, you're evaluating real performance on your real project, not just a technical interview at the same time that the builder also gets the chance to experience working on your company increasing retention in the long-term.

A hiring fee applies upon conversion, and we ensure the transition is fair to both sides.

A Web3 agency like dOrg provides a full squad: tech lead, smart contract engineers, frontend, and infra, with accountability for delivery, not just individual output.

Freelancers offer flexibility but no coordination layer, no single point of accountability, and significant risk if one person drops off mid-project.

For production-grade Web3 software, where a contract bug can cost millions, a vetted, coordinated team with a tech lead and built-in review processes is the safer choice. dOrg combines the speed and accountability of an agency with the expertise depth of a specialized collective.

Getting Started

To move quickly, it helps to share four things:

  • a short overview deck or doc of your projects
  • links to any existing repos or prototypes, your key timelines (launch date, investor milestones, audit windows)
  • who the main decision-makers are on your side.

That's enough for us to move from intro call to scoped proposal in a short cycle.

You don't need a fully defined spec, if you're still figuring things out, a Scoping Sprint is the right first step instead.

The first call with dOrg is a 30-45 minute conversation focused on understanding your project.

We'll cover what you're building (or want to build) and why, your team and stack, key constraints like timelines, budget range, and any audit or launch deadlines, and where you're uncertain or need most help.

By the end of the call you'll have a clear sense of whether dOrg is the right fit, what engagement model makes sense, and next steps. If we're not the right match, we'll tell you that too, and point you in a better direction if we can.
