About Cardinal

It starts with science

Cardinal is a venture studio and a consulting company like no other. We go deeper than tech. We create the science behind it.

With innovation-driven engineers, mathematicians, marketers, and designers– we are no middleman software house. We ideate, build, integrate, and launch.

Join us in creating bespoke cryptography solutions & revolutionary privacy-enhancing blockchain applications.

Our story

The big picture

We created Aleph Zero—an enterprise-ready layer 1 blockchain built on a novel consensus protocol that delivers instant finality, unmatched scalability, and built-in privacy.

Over the past four years, Aleph Zero has maintained 99% uptime, consistently delivered instant finality, reached a Top 100 market ranking, and attracted over 50 teams to build on the network.

Today, we're focused on Common—a privacy-first infrastructure layer and consumer app powered by Zero Knowledge technology. Common brings lightning-fast, onchain privacy to users and developers alike—natively within the app and through integrations with other applications.

Our vision is simple: return control of data back to users. Wherever they are. Whatever they use. As easily as possible.

What we offer

Let’s make it private

Privacy is a human right. It offers users a choice and builds trust. Want to embed this vision in your product? You came to the right team.

We specialize in embedding ZK privacy in DeFi apps and wallets. As authors of Shielder SDK and Common, we will help you nail the integration design or provide you with a dedicated software development team support. 

Web3 users deserve more privacy on transparent blockchains. Let’s make it real.

Our work

What we've built

While obsessed with novel technologies, we remain dedicated to maintaining the highest scientific standards. First we do the math, then the tech. But the real satisfaction comes from seeing it all work.
