# About Overblocks

> We build onchain systems — and the agents that operate them.

Overblocks is an engineering firm for onchain projects. We advise, design, and build — in your stack, under your custody, inside your risk limits — and stay on as the project evolves.

We are based in Herzliya, Israel, and work with teams worldwide.

## How we think

### First principles thinking

We integrate protocols by understanding why they work — incentive design, failure modes, upgrade behavior — not just what their interfaces expose.

### Performance obsessed

Execution quality is decided in milliseconds. We engineer for latency without trading away reliability.

### Market native

Order flow dynamics, liquidity mechanics, cross-venue microstructure — we build from inside the market, not adjacent to it.

### System architecture

Mission-critical financial systems designed to keep working through volatility, reorgs, and the upgrade nobody announced.

## How an engagement works

### 1. Assess & architect

We start with your goals — the product or strategy you want to ship, the venues it needs, the custody and regulatory constraints it lives under — and turn it into an architecture you can defend internally before a line of code is written. Where agents will touch the system, that includes agent-risk frameworks: policy constraints, guardrail design, KYA.

### 2. Build & integrate

We design and build inside your stack: venue connectivity, execution and routing, simulation and verification, protocol and smart-contract engineering — interfaces agents can consume, with x402, intents, and machine-readable surfaces. Delivery is commonly simulation-first — solutions & strategies run against live chain state before any capital is exposed, then moves through staged rollouts with hard limits at each gate. You own what we build.

### 3. Operate & evolve

Protocols upgrade, venues drift, your project grows. We stay on as a partner — hardening systems in production within your existing monitoring and controls, and extending them as the market underneath keeps moving. The same monitoring and limits govern human and agent flow.

### 4. Agentic readiness

A service you can engage today, not a roadmap: agent-ready interfaces — x402 and facilitation, intents, guardrails — supervised agentic execution systems that operate inside the risk limits we deliver, and agent risk frameworks: the governance for letting agents touch capital.

## Where your keys and data stand

Custody stays with you. The systems we deliver are designed to operate inside your custody arrangements and your risk limits — monitoring, failover, and kill-switches run within your existing controls, not around them. Engagement data is never research material: we do not publish client information, and the examples in any published research are public protocol behaviors, not client incidents.
