Blockchain and Web3 Development Agency
Heroic is a blockchain and NFT platform development agency in Los Angeles. We build dApps, NFT minting platforms, and smart contract systems, and we handle the creative direction and marketing campaigns that launch them. We also consult on Web3 strategy for projects that are not yet ready to build. From technical architecture to NFT drop strategy, we work across the full lifecycle of a blockchain project.
We co-founded ARSNL with the Artists Rights Society, the organization that manages rights and licensing for visual artists worldwide. It is the exclusive digital art platform for their 120,000+ member artists, including the estates of Picasso, Warhol, Kahlo, and Dalí. The Frank Stella release on the platform surpassed $2 million in primary and secondary sales. We have built and launched NFT collections, both 1/1 fine art editions and generative collections, with artists including Siebren Versteeg, Anna Lucia, Ash Thorp, and Deborah Kass. We also advise Bitcoin Art Society, the institution setting the standard for fine art inscribed directly onto Bitcoin, on marketing and growth strategy as it builds its collection and artist residency. We work with partner agencies, entertainment, brands, fine arts, and nonprofits.

What We Do for Blockchain
Smart Contract Development
ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom contract builds for 1/1 editions, generative collections, and phygital drops. We write, test, and deploy contracts that are auditable, documented, and production-ready.
NFT Platform Development
Primary and secondary market platforms, minting sites, collection browsers, and digital ownership tools. We built ARSNL, the exclusive NFT platform for the Artists Rights Society and their 120,000+ member artists.
dApp Development
Decentralized application development on Ethereum, Solana, and other chains. Full-stack Web3 apps, wallet integrations, and custom on-chain experiences.
Digital Art Campaign Direction
Creative direction and campaign strategy for digital art releases: 1/1 fine art editions, generative NFT collections, and phygital drops. We have co-produced releases for established artists and emerging creators, from concept through sale.
Web3 Marketing and Community
NFT drop strategy, social media management, press outreach, and community building for NFT projects and blockchain products. We market to both Web3 audiences and traditional collectors.
Web3 Branding and Identity
Visual identity, naming, and brand systems for blockchain projects, NFT collections, and digital art platforms. Crypto branding built to hold up across on-chain assets, marketplace listings, and press coverage.
Web3 Consulting
Not ready to build yet? We consult on blockchain strategy, NFT roadmaps, platform architecture, and launch planning. We help projects figure out what they actually need before spending on development. Our advisory work for Bitcoin Art Society runs on this model.

How It Works
You Come With a Vision
A dApp concept, an NFT collection, a digital art platform, or a blockchain product that needs to be built. Or a project that needs strategy before it can be built. We scope the technical and creative requirements and tell you what it will take.
We Build and Launch
Smart contracts, platform development, and creative direction handled in parallel. We coordinate engineering and marketing from the start so your NFT drop has everything it needs.
We Drive the Sale
Marketing strategy, community building, press campaigns, and ongoing platform support.
Why Web3 Projects Work With Heroic
$2M+ in NFT Sales
The Frank Stella release on ARSNL surpassed $2 million in primary and secondary sales.
1/1 Editions and Generative Collections
We have worked across both ends of the NFT market: single-edition fine art releases for established artists and generative NFT collections for digital-native creators. One of our generative releases on ARSNL earned a best-of-the-year nod from Outland and Feral File.
Full-Stack Web3 Capability
Smart contracts, platform development, UI/UX, and marketing handled by one team. No coordination gaps, no handoff problems between your developer and your agency.
15+ Years of Production Behind the Technology
We have built complex digital platforms for more than 15 years, across entertainment, fine arts, and tech. That production discipline carries straight into the blockchain work.
Based in Los Angeles
We are in LA and available for in-person collaboration. We also work with blockchain projects nationally and internationally.
Flexible Engagement
Project by project, consulting only, or on retainer. We work around your development timeline, your mint date, or your collection launch window.
Advisors to Bitcoin Art Society
Bitcoin Art Society brings us in on marketing and growth strategy for its collection and residency program. The work is inscribed directly onto Bitcoin rather than minted through a smart contract.

Visit Bitcoin Art SocietyFrequently Asked Questions About Blockchain and Web3 Development
A blockchain development agency builds the technical infrastructure for blockchain projects (smart contracts, dApps, NFT minting platforms, and Web3 integrations) along with the design and marketing that launches and sells them. We handle all three, and we also consult on Web3 strategy for projects that are earlier in the process.
It depends on scope. A simple minting site is a different project from a full primary and secondary market platform with royalty tracking and collection management. Before anything starts, we walk through the scope with you and put a number on it.
Yes. We build decentralized applications on Ethereum, Solana, and other chains. Full-stack Web3 builds, wallet integrations, and custom on-chain experiences.
Yes. ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom contract development for NFT platforms, 1/1 editions, generative collections, and phygital drops. Contracts are written, tested, and handed off with documentation.
Yes. We handle launch strategy, social media, press campaigns, and community building for NFT drops and blockchain products. We took the Frank Stella release on ARSNL past $2 million in sales.

It runs the Robert Mallary Artist Residency and a private acquisition fund, and exhibits at venues including Bitcoin Asia Hong Kong, Art Blocks Marfa, and Bitcoin MENA Abu Dhabi. Heroic serves as its marketing and growth advisor.
Yes, as advisors. Bitcoin inscriptions are a different medium from Ethereum or Solana NFTs, the artwork lives directly on the chain rather than behind a smart contract, and we understand that distinction. Bitcoin Art Society is where we do that work.
Yes. We have worked across both: single-edition fine art releases for established artists and generative NFT collections for digital-native creators. The platforms, contracts, and marketing strategy differ for each.
Yes. Web3 branding, visual identity, and full creative direction for digital art releases, from concept and collection design through the campaign that launches it.
Yes. We work with visual artists, photographers, and digital creators at every stage: first releases, ongoing collections, and major institutional drops. We handle as much or as little as the project requires.
Yes. If you are not yet ready to build, we consult on blockchain strategy, NFT roadmaps, platform architecture, and launch planning. We help projects figure out what they actually need before spending on development.
Yes. Early-stage projects that need to build everything, and later-stage projects that need to launch or scale.
We build primarily on Ethereum and Solana. If your project is on another chain, contact us and we will tell you directly whether we are the right fit.
Yes. Physical and digital NFT releases that bridge traditional art collecting and on-chain ownership. We handle the smart contract architecture, platform development, and campaign strategy.
Yes. We are based in Los Angeles and work with blockchain projects locally and nationally. We are available for in-person collaboration when the project calls for it.
