CODEMELT

Codemelt is a Romanian software development and design studio founded around 2019 with a team of roughly 30-40 people (implied by "30+ projects" completed over 5+ years). Based in Romania, the company spans design, development, QA, and smart contract audit work. Its portfolio is heavily skewed toward blockchain and web3 projects—NFT platforms, DEXes, payment infrastructure, gaming platforms on Solana—though it has also built traditional SaaS, e-commerce, and fintech solutions.

The studio's client roster includes JRNY (NFT analytics), Beam (omnichain DEX on ZetaChain), HYVE (web3 freelancing platform), Moonies (Solana NFT gaming), Oveit (web3 ticketing), and Playfend (code review platform). Testimonials from clients mention improved user retention, faster timelines, and efficiency in virtual communication.

Services and capabilities

Codemelt operates in four main service areas. Under Design & Branding, it handles branding identity, web and app design, UI/UX, and illustration work—leaning on Figma, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. Software & App Development covers full-stack development (React, Next.js, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, Node.js, Laravel, NestJS), blockchain services (smart contracts in Solidity, integration with Solana, Bitcoin, ZetaChain), and payment infrastructure. The company also offers Project Management and Quality Assurance/Quality Control services.

Under Testing and Audit, Codemelt performs code audits, smart contract audits, performance management, and system security reviews. This is particularly relevant given its deep involvement in DeFi and blockchain projects where audits are standard practice.

Project timelines vary widely. Simple design work (branding, UI mockups) can be completed in 2–4 weeks. Mid-range development projects (e-commerce platforms, gaming interfaces) typically run 5–8 months with teams of 3–5 people. Complex blockchain platforms (Beam, HYVE, Aiur.pro) took 6–22 months with teams ranging from 5–7 developers plus designers and QA specialists.

Notable work

Aiur.pro (22 months, 7-person team) is an NFT analytics platform for JRNY Members Club. Codemelt handled the full design and development, integrating real-time trading data, trending metrics, and a dashboard for novice and experienced traders. The platform uses Nuxt.js, Vue.js, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Beam (6 months, 5-person team, launched June 2024) is the first omnichain liquidity layer on ZetaChain. Codemelt built the entire DEX from scratch, including smart contracts for token swaps and liquidity pools, supporting interoperability across BTC, Polygon, ETH, Zeta, and Blast. Tech stack: TypeScript, React, NestJS, Redis, PostgreSQL, BitcoinJS, Solana/Web3, Ethers.

HYVE (18 months, 5-person team, partnership since 2021) is a web3 freelancing ecosystem with payments in 200+ cryptocurrencies across 9 blockchains. Codemelt delivered multiple iterations (V1, V2, V2.5) adding features like escrowed payments, decentralized dispute resolution, profile pages, review systems, and real-time in-platform messaging via Mercure Hub. Stack: Nuxt.js, Vue.js, PHP, Laravel, Solidity, PostgreSQL, Node.js, Web3.

Moonies (8 months, 6-person team) is an NFT-game casino on Solana with improved UX and new games. Tintila, Radulescu & Asociatii, a leading Romanian law firm, received a branding overhaul in one month with a 3-person design team. Playfend, an advanced code review platform for vulnerability detection, took 5 months with a 5-person team using React, TypeScript, and Solidity.

How they work

Engagement follows a three-phase model. First, Codemelt schedules a digital discovery call to define project objectives. Second, the team proposes a solution and scope of work. Third, upon acceptance, development, testing, and delivery proceed. The company offers communication via virtual meetings and email and emphasizes punctuality and documentation. Project pricing is not published on the website; quotes appear to be custom per engagement.

Projects are staffed with cross-functional teams pairing creatives (designers using Figma, Adobe Suite) with developers (full-stack engineers, blockchain specialists, QA). For blockchain work, Codemelt pairs frontend developers with blockchain engineers capable of writing and auditing smart contracts.

Team and credentials

No founding date, founder names, or formal team size breakdown is published. The site indicates "5+ years of experience" in Design, Development, QA, and Audit, and "30+ projects completed," implying a team in the 20–50 range. Client testimonials come from Daniel Nazarian (Casino Manhattan), Jack Moonie (Moonies), Andrei Stefan (Oveit Foundation), and Jeffrey Chiang (JRNY), all rating the company at 4.5–5 stars.
