Metlabs

What Metlabs does

Metlabs Blockchain SL is a Spain-based blockchain development services firm founded in 2021 in A Coruña that designs and deploys custom Web3 infrastructure for enterprise clients. The company specializes in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization using ERC-3643 and ERC-1400 standards with embedded KYC/AML, custom dApp development across EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum) using Solidity and Solana using Rust, smart contract auditing, and blockchain consulting. Primary customer segments include real estate companies and property developers seeking fractional ownership platforms, financial institutions and investment firms pursuing regulated security token offerings, and Web3 startups requiring DeFi, NFT marketplace, or staking platform development.

The company operates a professional services / custom development revenue model with quote-based, project-priced engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct outreach, consultation, and multi-year contracts, supported by localized SEO pages for Spain and Latin America. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each project is scoped individually based on complexity, network, and regulatory requirements. Metlabs emphasizes a 100% in-house team in Spain with no freelancers, and positions regulatory compliance (MiCA, MiFID II, DLT Pilot Regime, CNMV, ERIR) as a core architectural principle rather than a bolt-on feature. Notable outcomes cited include $40M+ in client assets tokenized on-chain, 30+ projects delivered, and solutions deployed across 15+ countries spanning Europe, Latin America, the U.S. (Miami), and the UAE.

The company is bootstrapped and claims profitability from its first year of operation. Leadership is founder-led by CEO Pablo Gómez, with functional heads covering Innovation (Isaac González), Delivery (Helena Ramos), Sales (Jesús Vargas), and Business Development (Javier Yáñez). Strategic partners include law firm AI ECIJA for regulatory advisory and analyst firm IDC. The company received the Premio Iniciativa Empresarial 2025 from AJE Coruña for innovation in blockchain and RWA tokenization.

Direct peers

• Tokeny: Tokeny provides a white-label platform and tooling for issuing and managing regulated security tokens, including ERC-3643-based infrastructure. It competes head-to-head with Metlabs in the RWA tokenization platform segment, though it is more productized and less services-led.
• Securitize: Securitize operates a leading regulated digital securities platform with deep institutional customers and tokenization infrastructure. It is a direct competitor in the regulated RWA/tokenization market, though at significantly larger scale and with a product (rather than services) orientation.
• PixelPlex: PixelPlex is a custom blockchain and Web3 development firm offering smart contract development, dApp engineering, tokenization, and advisory services. It is closely comparable to Metlabs in delivery model, service portfolio, and target customers (enterprises exploring RWA and DeFi).
• LeewayHertz: LeewayHertz is a blockchain and Web3 development company providing smart contract development, dApp engineering, tokenization, and enterprise consulting. Like Metlabs, it sells end-to-end custom development with multi-chain capabilities to enterprise clients.
• SoluLab: SoluLab is a global software and blockchain development services firm offering smart contracts, dApps, tokenization, and Web3 consulting. It competes with Metlabs for enterprise tokenization and custom Web3 development mandates, typically at lower price points but broader scope.
• 10Clouds: 10Clouds is a software development company with a dedicated blockchain and Web3 practice offering smart contract development, tokenization, and DeFi/NFT engineering. It is comparable to Metlabs in delivery model and European footprint, though broader in technology focus.

Broad incumbents

• Polymath: Polymath (Polymesh) provides a purpose-built blockchain for regulated securities and security token infrastructure, with an established ecosystem of issuance and compliance tooling. It is a broader incumbent in regulated tokenization, competing more at the protocol/platform level than custom services.
• OpenZeppelin: OpenZeppelin is a leading provider of smart contract security tooling, audit services, and developer libraries, and is a broader incumbent in the Web3 services ecosystem. It is comparable to Metlabs on the smart contract audit side and overlaps on tokenization infrastructure advisory.

Emerging players

• RealT: RealT is a US-based real estate tokenization platform that issues fractional ownership tokens for individual properties. It overlaps with Metlabs' real estate tokenization segment but operates as a vertically integrated issuer/operator rather than a services provider.
• Realio: Realio is a blockchain-based platform for digital and real estate asset issuance and trading, with a focus on tokenizing real-world investment opportunities. It intersects with Metlabs' RWA and real estate tokenization practice as a productized peer.
