Curvegrid

What Curvegrid does

Curvegrid is a Tokyo-based, privately held blockchain software company founded in 2017 that builds enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure. Its flagship product, MultiBaas, is a multi-chain blockchain application development and smart contract management platform that supports 18+ EVM and non-EVM networks — including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Celo, Mantle, Scroll, Zircuit, Lisk, Filecoin, Flare, Gnosis, and XRP Ledger Neon — and exposes REST APIs, event queries, cloud wallets, webhooks, and native integrations with MetaMask, Safe multisig, and a Hardhat v3 / Ignition deployment plugin. The company serves global enterprises, regulated institutions (notably Japanese financial institutions), and developers through a hybrid of self-serve SaaS, custom consulting engagements, and niche products such as NFTeapot (a Shopify-integrated NFT minting app).

Revenue is generated through tiered MultiBaas SaaS subscriptions billed monthly in advance, project-based professional consulting for blockchain strategy and full-scale product delivery, transaction fees on NFTeapot, and a free developer tier. Distribution combines developer-led growth (documentation, GitHub, hackathon sponsorship, free tools such as the EIP-7702 Delegation Checker and BigNum.app) with direct enterprise field sales supported by free initial consultations and phased proposals for large engagements. Strategic positioning is anchored by Curvegrid's role as the exclusive technology partner for Mizuhiki (Japan Smart Chain), a Japan-sovereign Ethereum-equivalent Layer 1, and by recent partnerships with Figment for institutional staking and MailMate for digital asset-enabled bill payment in Japan. The team is small (1-10 employees) and includes upstream contributors to Prysm, go-ethereum, and solc with Ethereum Foundation bug bounty recognition.

1. MultiBaas SaaS Subscription: Cloud-based blockchain development platform offered as BaaS (Blockchain-as-a-Service) with tiered subscription plans. Customers receive access to deployments, user accounts, API keys, and support based on their selected tier. Fees are payable monthly in advance with automatic renewal.
2. Professional Consulting Services: Custom blockchain consulting engagements including strategy, technical architecture, training, proof of concept, implementation support, and ongoing advisory. Pricing is project-specific based on scope and requirements, with phased approaches for large projects.
3. NFTeapot Transaction Fees: NFTeapot charges merchants a percentage of NFT sale prices as blockchain transaction fees, cloud storage fees, and infrastructure fees. The platform bears costs while users are Shopify merchants.
4. Free Tier / Freemium: MultiBaas offers free accounts with limited functionality to enable developer onboarding and proof-of-concept work. Free accounts do not include customer support or technical support.

Core offering

Curvegrid sells MultiBaas, a cloud-based Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) application server that lets enterprises and developers build, deploy, and manage smart contract applications across 18 EVM and non-EVM networks via REST APIs, Event Queries, Cloud Wallets, and webhooks. The company also delivers blockchain Consulting Services covering strategy, architecture design, training, proof-of-concept, and end-to-end implementation (including exclusive technology partnership on the Mizuhiki/Japan Smart Chain sovereign L1), as well as a Digital Asset Technology managed service for secure digital-asset custody and treasury operations. Supporting tools such as NFTeapot (Shopify NFT minting), the EIP-7702 Delegation Checker, and BigNum.app complement the core platform.

Product overview

Curvegrid's product portfolio centers on MultiBaas, an enterprise-grade blockchain development platform that enables teams to build, deploy, and manage smart contract applications across 18 EVM-compatible and non-EVM blockchain networks. MultiBaas is supplemented by specialized sub-products: NFTeapot (a Shopify App Store-distributed NFT minting and sales tool), MultiBaas for Google Sheets (spreadsheet integration), the hardhat-multibaas-plugin (Hardhat development environment integration), the EIP-7702 Delegation Checker (Ethereum delegation inspection tool), and BigNum.app (arbitrary-precision decimal calculator). Curvegrid complements its software platform with two professional service lines — Digital Asset Technology (managed digital asset custody and treasury infrastructure with MPC-based controls) and Consulting Services (blockchain strategy, architecture, training, implementation, and advisory, including exclusive technology partnership on the Mizuhiki/Japan Smart Chain L1).
