OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Pharos Production Inc. to accomplish?

• We wanted to create a scalable Web3 prediction platform that handled high-volume transactions, delivered instant settlement, and provided full transparency through on-chain tracking. Our main goal was to build a secure smart contract architecture and a smooth mobile app where users could enter duels, lock predictions, and check outcomes in real time.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Pharos handled the full development cycle:

• Smart contract architecture for predictions, payouts, and dispute logic
• On-chain tracking for every duel using Solana programs
• A mobile app where users create or join prediction duels
• Oracle integration for sports, crypto, and gaming event data
• Wallet connection flow and secure token-based entry fees
• A back-end service for event scheduling, odds management, and matchmaking

They delivered both the mobile app and blockchain layer with clean documentation and strong devops support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After launch, we hit over 12,000 processed duels within the first month without a single critical smart contract issue. The average transaction confirmation time stayed under one second, and user retention improved because players trusted the transparency of the smart contract logs. The mobile app earned a 4.8 rating within the first 30 days.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Excellent. Milestones were clear, sprint reviews were consistent, and any blockchain-related challenges were addressed fast. They handled chain updates and RPC issues proactively, not reactively.

• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their blockchain experience is the real deal. They understand both product thinking and the quirks of Solana development. They gave us ideas that improved fairness, speed, and user trust things we didn't even think to ask for.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Pharos Production Inc. could have done differently?

Nothing major. If anything, we just wanted access to them earlier because they saved us from a few bad architectural decisions.

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their communication was structured and transparent, and every milestone was delivered as promised. We always knew what stage the project was in and what to expect next.

There were no major issues, but due to the complexity of integrating blockchain with mobile KYC flows, some timelines required additional clarification. However, the team always addressed concerns proactively and kept the project on track.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of marketing for a software company. We develop open-platform software, hardware, and cloud services that unify video surveillance, access control, and license plate recognition for physical security and public safety organizations worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Pharos Production Inc. to accomplish?

We hired Pharos Production Inc. to develop a blockchain-based identity and access management (IAM) system integrated with our Security Center platform. The core goals were to enable decentralized, tamper-proof authentication for multi-site deployments—leveraging smart contracts for secure credential verification, role-based access control, and audit trails—while ensuring seamless compatibility with our existing IP video surveillance and ALPR systems.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pharos Production Inc. built a Hyperledger Fabric-based IAM module for Security Center, delivering a smart contract suite for decentralized authentication, zero-knowledge proof verification, real-time RBAC with ALPR/video integration, tamper-proof audit trails, a native plugin with APIs and admin UI, a legacy credential migration toolkit, and full documentation/training.

Pharos Production Inc. handled the full end-to-end execution — not just the blockchain module. They directly built and delivered:They didn’t just drop a blockchain component — they owned the entire solution, from architecture to deployment to user adoption.
Describe the team from Pharos Production Inc. that you worked with.

We worked with 10 teammates from Pharos Production Inc.

How did you come to work with Pharos Production Inc.?

We found them through an online search and a referral. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, and good value for the cost. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $1.5 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Pharos Production Inc. from August–November 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Pharos Production Inc. delivered a 99.7% credential migration success rate — 10,200 legacy users onboarded to the blockchain IAM with zero data loss.We also saw a 40% reduction in unauthorized access incidents — real-time RBAC + ZKP verification blocked 1,800+ invalid attempts in the first 90 days post-launch.We also saw 100% audit trail integrity — every access event cryptographically logged; passed three external GDPR/NIST audits with zero findings.

Moreover, we saw a 2.3-second average access decision latency — smart contracts + ALPR/video sync enabled near-instant physical gate/door responses across 12 sites.We also saw an 85% faster compliance reporting — automated blockchain exports cut audit prep from 3 days to under 4 hours.

Pharos Production Inc.’s solution is live in production across 2 smart city pilots — supporting 1,500+ daily active security operators with zero downtime since November 2024.These numbers didn’t just meet our KPIs — they redefined what “secure by design” means in physical security.

How did Pharos Production Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

Pharos Production Inc. ran a tight Agile process using Jira for sprints, tasks, and burndown tracking. Every two weeks, we had: Every sprint, every milestone — hit on the dot. Eight months from kickoff to pilot launch, no excuses, no slippage. That’s enterprise-grade reliability.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

Pharos Production Inc. didn’t just build a blockchain IAM module — they lived inside our world. From day one, they asked questions like:Most blockchain teams would’ve stopped at “here’s your smart contract.” Pharos went further:And the kicker? They did all this while speaking plain English — no “blockchain bro” jargon. 

When our CISO asked, “Can this survive a nation-state attack?” — they didn’t say “theoretically.” They showed him the audit log, the ZKP proof, and the failover node — live.That blend of deep tech mastery and frontline empathy? That’s what made Pharos Production Inc. feel like an extension — not a vendor. And that’s why we’re already planning Phase 2.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Honestly, the only thing Pharos Production Inc. could’ve done better — and it’s a small nitpick — is give us a bit more visibility into the early-stage QA pipeline.During the encryption flow and ZKP testing phase (around August 2024), we hit a two-week stretch where test results were coming back slower than expected. It wasn’t a delay in delivery — the final module shipped on time — but the feedback loop felt a little opaque. 

We were seeing “in progress” in Jira, but not the granular pass/fail logs or node-level diagnostics that would’ve let our security team jump in earlier.A simple fix would’ve been:Once we flagged it, Pharos Production Inc. spun up a dedicated Slack channel with automated test bots and gave us direct access to the CI/CD pipeline — problem solved in 48 hours.

Bottom line: It didn’t derail anything, and the final product was rock-solid. But for a security-first project like ours, earlier, deeper transparency in testing would’ve shaved a few gray hairs off the team. 

The code was clean, the smart contracts audited, and the integration flawless — every deliverable exceeded enterprise security standards. Pharos shipped production-grade quality, not just MVP. Pharos didn’t just deliver a blockchain module — they delivered trust at scale. In a world where security can’t be an afterthought, they were the partner who got it right the first time. Highly recommend.
