This phase included understanding corporate clients' pain points and gathering insights into user behavior to build an effective B2B-focused digital asset management system.

The success of the KARBON Custody project can be attributed to the integration of branding and innovative technology into a unified solution. This approach allowed the client to benefit from a reusable component system, enabling scalable product development as they introduced additional features seamlessly.
As a zero-to-one product, KARBON Custody set the foundation for efficient future expansion, empowering the company to grow within the digital asset space.
