Boosty Labs

Founded: 2017-01-01 in Ukraine
Headquarters: New York, NY, USA

Boosty Labs is a globally recognised software development company and venture studio founded on 17 December 2017 by Viktor Ihnatiuk. Initially a small team of 10 engineers working primarily with Storj, the company quickly evolved into a full‑stack blockchain and Web3 development shop. Over the past seven years, Boosty Labs has delivered more than 300 production projects for over 200 clients worldwide, including industry leaders such as Ledger, ConsenSys, MoonPay, Stellar, WalletConnect, 1inch, Animoca, and NEAR. The company’s core expertise spans blockchain infrastructure (smart contracts, dApps, DeFi protocols, institutional custody, exchange platforms), artificial intelligence (custom LLM products, autonomous agents, ML pipelines, enterprise automation), and quantum‑safe security (post‑quantum cryptographic infrastructure built on NIST FIPS 203/204/205 and OpenSSL 3.5). Boosty Labs also operates a venture studio, Boosty Ventures, to support early‑stage projects, and launched the Boosty Fund in 2022 to raise humanitarian aid for Ukraine. Headquartered in New York, NY, with a global team of over 150 senior engineers and architects, the company serves clients through both end‑to‑end outsourcing and staff augmentation models. It has been recognised as the first company to integrate large language models (LLMs) into software development pipelines. Boosty Labs continues to scale aggressively, adding new verticals like DEX aggregator services, institutional stablecoin development, and ISO 27001 certification preparation.

Detailed Review

Boosty Labs was founded in late 2017 by Viktor Ihnatiuk, a blockchain engineer with more than a decade of experience in core infrastructure, protocol tooling, and distributed systems. The company’s first major client was Storj, a decentralised cloud storage provider. By 2018, Boosty Labs had transitioned into a dedicated devshop offering blockchain services to key market players. In 2019, the team demonstrated technical excellence on complex projects, attracting clients like Bloom Protocol.

The year 2020 brought investments from NetSolid Investments and a partnership with DuckDAO during the early DeFi wave. In 2021, Boosty Labs secured its first contract with Codefi (part of ConsenSys’ product suite) and partnered with Ledger, Pocket Network, and others. That same year, the company launched Boosty Ventures, a venture studio to help founders launch projects and attract investment.

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the company established the Boosty Fund and raised over $2.3 million for humanitarian aid while continuing to grow its team. In 2023, Boosty Labs expanded its focus beyond leading Web3 companies to also serve promising startups, demonstrating resilience during the crypto market downturn. The company introduced blockchain consultancy services for enterprises and Fortune 500 companies in 2024, concentrating on track‑and‑trace, digital proof/ownership, digital identity, and financial services use cases.

Looking ahead to 2025, Boosty Labs is driving strategic growth through high‑impact verticals: DEX aggregator services, institutional stablecoin development, ISO 27001 certification preparation, and company‑wide AI SDLC onboarding. The company has also strengthened its C‑suite with the appointment of Vitalii Yatskiv as COO/Deputy CEO and Denys Doronin as CTO in December 2024, following the earlier addition of Zaighum Ghumman as Chief Revenue Officer in November 2023.

Boosty Labs maintains a strong online presence and positive client reviews, with a Clutch rating based on 18 reviews. The company continues to hire actively and positions itself as the go‑to engineering partner for frontier technologies, shipping AI, blockchain, fintech, and quantum security products.
