Decision snapshot

VerdictChoose Wavect if your brief calls for the user-facing product around your on-chain components. Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

Wavect is best when

  • We take on the user-facing product around your on-chain components, with scope and responsibilities agreed upfront. Wavect’s offer
  • Our development offer connects scope decisions, reviewable increments and handover.
  • Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

The alternative is best when

  • Your need genuinely spans blockchain and custom compute hardware: HPC workstations, deep-learning rigs, a managed datacenter. Alpine publishes all three alongside its smart contract work, and we publish none of them.1
  • You want a single shop for both the smart contracts and the physical compute behind them. That is exactly the pairing on its published services page.1
  • Your project is infrastructure-first and the on-chain part is contained. Its Datacenter-in-a-box is published as a fully managed, rack-ready solution suited to SME or edge deployments.1

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. For the user-facing product around your on-chain components, what must the first phase cover?
  2. Ask Alpine Blockchain for relevant deployed examples, inspectable contract addresses where applicable, and permission to speak with the clients. Evaluate the people and work proposed for your project.
  3. Ask both vendors which legal entity signs the contract, what warranty and liability terms it carries, and what professional indemnity cover sits behind it. The Austrian commercial register records the contracting party as a registered sole proprietorship, Alpine Blockchain e.U.4 We contract as Wavect GmbH. Neither legal form is a defect; it is a term of the deal you should know.
  4. Ask, where a project spans both the smart contracts and the datacenter infrastructure, who owns the source code and IP, and whether you can move it to another infrastructure provider.

Commercial risk to watch

  • The visible price is not the whole cost; the risk sits in core offering, unusual strength, and the moment scope changes.
  • Ask what the vendor is paid to increase: hours, seats, retained advice, platform usage, or shipped outcomes.

Evidence notes

  • Every statement about Alpine Blockchain on this page comes from the numbered sources below, each with the date we opened it. Pages change, so re-check them, along with pricing, legal entity, references and terms, before you sign.
  • We name the legal form because it is the contracting party, not as a comment on capability. Nothing on this page is a claim about the quality of their work, their solvency or their cover.

Project fit: not limited to small builds

Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold.

How they actually differ

Six dimensions where Alpine Blockchain and Wavect actually diverge.

WAVECT DIMENSION ALTERNATIVE

Full-stack product builds across blockchain, AI, web and mobile, plus fractional CTO.

CORE OFFERING

Smart contract design, development and audits, dApp builds and enterprise DLT integration, plus custom HPC workstations and a fully managed Datacenter-in-a-box, per its published services page.1

Product judgement and shipping funded products to real users. We push back on the product question before we build.

UNUSUAL STRENGTH

Hardware. CAD and deep-learning workstations, and a rack-ready managed Datacenter-in-a-box published as suited to SME or edge deployments.1

Cross-chain bridges, account abstraction live on mainnet, RWA and crypto payments in production.

ON-CHAIN TRACK RECORD

Ask Alpine Blockchain for relevant deployed examples, inspectable contract addresses where applicable, and permission to speak with the clients. Evaluate the people and work proposed for your project.

Weekly outcome fee or fixed-price Werkvertrag. No timesheets.

PRICING MODEL

Request a written quote from Alpine Blockchain for the same deliverables, assigned roles, support, taxes and exit terms. Compare it with our agreed outcome fee; a rate or starting package alone does not establish the total cost.

WHO YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO

Ask Alpine Blockchain to name the people responsible for this work and specify decision rights, deliverables and handover in the proposal. Published services do not determine the scope of your engagement.

Wavect GmbH, an Austrian limited company. Fixed-price work runs as a Werkvertrag.

CONTRACTING ENTITY

Alpine Blockchain e.U., a registered sole proprietorship, FN 582490 d at the Wiener Neustadt commercial court, seat in Brunn am Gebirge.43 Ask both of us for the signing entity, warranty terms and indemnity cover; the legal form itself says nothing about the quality of the work.

What Alpine Blockchain publishes

Its services page states that it designs, develops and audits smart contracts, builds decentralized applications and integrates enterprise-grade distributed ledger technologies, and it also publishes custom CAD and deep-learning workstations plus a fully managed, rack-ready Datacenter-in-a-box.1

The Datacenter-in-a-box is the one place SME appears on the pages we reviewed, described as suited to SME or edge deployments, while the about page states a mission of serving organizations from startups to enterprises, so we do not describe the blockchain practice as SME-only.12

If your project genuinely needs that hardware layer, validator infrastructure, or compute you control physically, that combination is their bet and a real one.1

The Austrian commercial register records the entity as Alpine Blockchain e.U., a registered sole proprietorship, under FN 582490 d at the Wiener Neustadt commercial court, entered in June 2022, with its registered seat in Brunn am Gebirge in Lower Austria, and its own imprint states the same entity and register number.43

We raise the form only because the contracting entity is a term of the deal you should know before you sign, from either vendor.4

If the hard requirement is blockchain plus owned hardware, Alpine publishes that pairing.1

Ask Alpine Blockchain to name the people responsible for this work and specify decision rights, deliverables and handover in the proposal. Published services do not determine the scope of your engagement.

Ask both providers who owns scope, technical decisions and acceptance, and what remains with your team after handover.

Wavect’s offer Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.
No. We build software products. If you need custom HPC workstations or a managed datacenter alongside the blockchain work, Alpine publishes that combination and we do not.1
Track record on real chains. Cross-chain bridges securing seven figures, account abstraction live on mainnet, RWA and payments in production. We ship products people use, not just contracts.
Yes, and the legal forms differ. The commercial register records Alpine Blockchain e.U., a registered sole proprietorship seated in Brunn am Gebirge, and we contract as Wavect GmbH.4 Ask both of us for the signing entity and the warranty terms, because a sole proprietorship is a normal way to run this business and says nothing about the quality of the work.
