“We are able to plumb into a network of professionals that can advise and assist on capital formation, tax optimization, fund governance, and choice platforms for token flotation.” Clients need not worry about customizations of solutions for walleting and treasury to help with the administration and hedging of tokens. “We have a bespoke approach and focus on what can be achieved for each client based on their requirements,” explains Yong. Above all, the company seamlessly manages the entire project by carving the implementation journey into manageable chunks within the constrained capabilities of the client while ensuring collective stakeholder buy-in, proper integration alongside existing business processes. “One uniqueness of our approach is in being discreet with our clients’ projects and being quietly successful, without pomp and pageantry.”

The team is well versed with the region’s crypto industry and is one of its early pioneers. They currently serve as the Committee Lead for Research and Technical standards for ACCESS Blockchain, the main industry representative body recognized by the government. In addition, Celebrus’s team technical competency could be seen via public participation in the ecosystem, for example being one of the first to crack and complete the Capture the Ether smart contract exploit series and publicly documenting the full sequence of exploits. “Our advantage stems from our core competencies in regulation and tech in which we have built veritable credibility,” extols Yong. Interestingly, the cultural DNA of Celebrus’ team is similar to what it does for its clients. For instance, the team is organized like the blockchain; decentralized but connected online. The team is clustered along “master nodes” based on expertise such as reg and tech.

In an instance, Celebrus consulted a green shared-mobility company whose aim was to measure and validate vehicle usage transparently. At a later phase, this data would be correlated to a decentralized form of vehicle management taken on by user communities or local counties. Celebrus ensured low costs while leveraging on public blockchains to maintain data and prepare incentivized interfacing options to enable a communally self-sustained and decentralized organization that could govern local fleets of green mobility vehicles. The company also helped the client identify the type of platforms where this can be made possible, taking into account transaction throughput and costs, and feasibility of implementation from both hardware and software perspectives.

In terms of objectives, the company aspires to meet the famous blockchain trilemma of “speed, security, and scalability.” When it comes to delivery, Celebrus is driven by turnaround time and responsiveness. Given the multi-dimensional risks in this business, it constantly proofs and checks. To achieve scalability Celebrus has carefully plotted a roadmap to move towards platforms that deliver blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) for productizable processes such as wallet management with disbursements and corporate share registry to issue tokenized shares. While compliance advisory and risk management remain the company’s forte, Celebrus is also interested in adjacencies like education for businesses, and corporate finance for the digital economy. From a geographical standpoint, Yong believes, “Since crypto is borderless, and the market gravity has shifted to the East—where we are located—we are able to offer our services to the world at large.”
