Applied Blockchain

What Applied Blockchain does

Applied Blockchain is a London-headquartered enterprise blockchain development firm founded in 2015 that builds private and secure business applications for global corporations and government organizations across finance, energy, healthcare, supply chain, automotive, aviation, retail, and telecommunications. The company operates a consulting-led business model with phased engagements from ideation and advisory workshops through architecture, design, development, and post-production support, while increasingly layering in a proprietary product, Silent Data, a programmable privacy Ethereum Layer 2 built on Intel SGX trusted execution environments that isolates sensitive on-chain data while preserving Ethereum settlement finality.

Silent Data has become the company's strategic centerpiece: in 2026 it became the first privacy-focused Layer 2 to join Ethereum's Superchain, and the same year began powering regulated tokenized money market funds from Aberdeen, BlackRock, Fidelity International, and State Street via Archax. The platform also includes the Silent Data Oracle, with integrations into Chainalysis for in-smart-contract AML verification and Chainlink for oracle services. Underlying this product layer is deep multi-protocol expertise across 25+ blockchains including Ethereum, Polygon, Hyperledger BESU, Algorand, Hedera, Polkadot, Avalanche, Solana, and Stellar.

The company generates revenue through professional services (consulting, custom smart contract and DApp development, DevOps and infrastructure support on AWS, Azure, and GCP), a no-gas-fee Silent Data SaaS offering, and bespoke industry solutions such as digital securities, NFT marketplaces, and supply-chain tracking. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise engagement, supported by an extensive thought-leadership footprint including The Applied Edge podcast, webinars, and Applied Blockchain Sessions events. Notable customers and partners include Shell (also an investor), Bank of America, Barclays, Toyota, Vodafone, the United Nations, DHL/CRYOPDP, Ledger, Chainlink, Intel, Polygon, and the Confidential Computing Consortium. The firm holds ISO 27001 certification and a team of 70+ employees.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Polygon Labs: Polygon operates an Ethereum L2 ecosystem with a parallel focus on enterprise tokenization and ZK scaling; Applied Blockchain's Silent Data integrates with Polygon but competes for the same institutional RWA-tokenization wallet.
• Alchemy: Blockchain developer platform providing node infrastructure, APIs, and enterprise tooling; comparable to Applied Blockchain's DevOps/node hosting and multi-chain integration services for Web3 builders.
• Nethermind: Ethereum-focused engineering and infrastructure firm offering protocol development, audits, and enterprise tooling—directly comparable to Applied Blockchain's Ethereum-aligned services and Silent Data L2 work.
• Consensys: Consensys is the largest blockchain consultancy and product company (MetaMask, Infura, Linea L2); Applied Blockchain directly competes for the same enterprise Ethereum development and infrastructure mandates.
• Chainlink Labs: Core Web3 oracle and interoperability infrastructure provider; comparable to Silent Data Oracle's authenticated web2 API bridge for smart contracts and a frequent collaboration partner across the same Ethereum enterprise stack.

Emerging players

• Aleo: Privacy-focused L1 using zero-knowledge proofs for shielded programmable applications; an alternative architecture to Applied Blockchain's Silent Data TEE-based privacy L2 for institutional tokenized asset use cases.
• Zama: Applied cryptography startup commercializing fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) for blockchain and AI; an emerging alternative privacy architecture competing with Intel SGX TEEs for confidential on-chain finance applications.
• Oasis Protocol: Privacy-first Layer 1 with confidential EVM (Sapphire); competes with Silent Data for the same confidential-compute tokenization workflows targeting regulated institutions.

Broad incumbents

• R3: Long-established enterprise blockchain (Corda) vendor serving global banks on tokenization, trade finance, and digital assets—overlapping with Applied Blockchain's banking and capital markets engagements but anchored in a permissioned DLT rather than Ethereum L2s.
• IBM Blockchain: Broad enterprise consultancy and Hyperledger-based platform serving supply chain, finance, and trade finance; competes for the same global-enterprise blockchain build mandates that Applied Blockchain pursues across verticals.
