Ekotek

Ekotek is a Vietnam-based software development firm founded in 2018 that works across custom software, blockchain, AI, and mobile/web applications. The company started as a small team and has grown into what it describes as a multi-specialist outfit, though exact headcount is not stated. It serves startups and enterprises across multiple markets, with a client roster spanning Japan, blockchain startups, and gaming/fintech companies.

The firm's positioning centers on three core areas: blockchain (smart contracts, NFT marketplaces, decentralized exchanges, tokenization), AI (chatbots, video analytics, summarization tools, AI agents for process automation), and conventional software development (web/mobile apps, desktop software, legacy migration, QA/testing). Ekotek also offers white-label blockchain and AI solutions, dedicated teams, and staff augmentation.

Services and capabilities

Blockchain work forms a substantial portion of Ekotek's portfolio. The company has shipped smart contracts, decentralized apps (dApps), NFT marketplaces, crypto wallets, DeFi staking platforms, token vesting portals, and Web3 games. Recent projects include a Solana-based token trading dApp with referral systems, blockchain-powered mini apps on Telegram and LINE with smart contract support, GameFi analytics dashboards, and a blockchain-backed slot game delivered in three months.

On the AI side, Ekotek integrates ChatGPT 3.5 for language tasks, builds video analytics and smart surveillance systems, and has developed AI agents for domain-specific workflows—such as automating BOM (Bill of Materials) creation in footwear manufacturing using visual component recognition and smart document reading.

Traditional software development services include custom enterprise-grade solutions, desktop software, mobile and web applications, digital product design, QA and testing, and legacy system migration. The company has handled projects like eKYC (know-your-customer) system modernization for a real estate firm, ACI (Advanced Cargo Information System) migration for a Japanese logistics company, and a business VPN app with OpenVPN and WireGuard integration. Ekotek also built a short-form video news platform with article aggregation and video editing, and a music streaming app for independent artists with transparent per-stream monetization.

The development methodology is described as iterative: ideation, technical definition, end-to-end development from PoC to production, and ongoing maintenance. Ekotek emphasizes modular architecture to support scalability and claims a customer-first approach.

How they work

Ekotek operates through four main engagement models: custom software development (fixed or T&M), dedicated team placement, staff augmentation, and white-label solutions. The firm works end-to-end from PoC through production and maintenance. Project timelines have ranged from three months (the blockchain slot game) to longer engagements with Japanese companies. Pricing and minimum engagement thresholds are not disclosed on the website. The company invites consultation through a contact form that allows clients to specify budget range (from <$10K to >$500K) and service area of interest.
