We build software like webuild tradingsystems.
Production-grade. Observable. Owned by you. Custom internal tools, API integrations, AI workflows, and trading infrastructure, designed and shipped by the team behind vyn premium, SignalPipe, and Gridmatic.
Block Research Software Solutions is our custom software studio.
A B2B engagement, separate from vyn premium and block algo flex. For operators, trading teams, and companies that need custom platforms, API integrations, and internal infrastructure.
End-to-end software services.
Internal tools your team actually uses
Dashboards, portals, admin panels, approval flows, and operational software built around your exact workflow, not a template your team has to work around. Vue, React, Next.js under the hood; the interface answers to your process.
Make your tools talk to each other
Stripe, CRMs, broker APIs, email providers, databases, and internal systems connected directly, no fragile middleware, no Zapier chains that break at 2am. Integrations that hold up when production is running.
AI inside real workflows
Document parsing, lead routing, email generation, report drafting, data enrichment, internal search, embedded into your software instead of sitting in another chat window. AI as infrastructure, not as a gimmick.
Trading and fintech infrastructure
Broker integrations (Alpaca, Capital.com, Kraken, Binance), TradingView webhook execution, real-time P&L, exchange data pipelines, execution logs, and risk controls. We build this stack because we run it ourselves.
Infrastructure that survives production
Firebase, GCP, AWS, Hetzner Cloud. Serverless functions, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, logging, and deployment flows built for reliability, not for a deck.
CRM and email systems without busywork
Custom intake flows, lead scoring, automated follow-ups, customer segmentation, CRM sync, and reporting, built around how your business actually sells. Replaces GoHighLevel, HubSpot half-deployments, and duct-taped sequences.
A production crypto
trading platform.
Built end-to-end. Frontend, a custom Kubernetes operator, a real-time market data pipeline, and the infrastructure underneath, running real money on Kraken. This is the difference between a script and a platform: a script places orders; a platform lets a team operate, monitor, stop, restart, and audit those orders safely.
Real money. Real bots. Production grade.
Run live trading bots on Kraken with real capital. Every bot has to be isolated, observable, and instantly stoppable. The team needed an institutional platform, not a script that breaks at 3am.
An 8-service platform with a custom Kubernetes operator.
- Custom Kubernetes operator, 1 isolated pod per bot, full lifecycle (start / stop / cleanup) via CRDs and a controller-runtime API server. We picked Kubernetes because every bot needed an isolated runtime and instant stop/start without taking down the rest of the system.
- Real-time market data pipeline, Kraken WebSocket → TimescaleDB hypertables → RabbitMQ → frontend, 400 symbols per worker. TimescaleDB because historical market data needs fast time-range queries; RabbitMQ because events had to reach every consumer exactly once.
- Custom TradingView chart datafeed, REST and WebSocket handlers serving live OHLCV bars to a React + Vite frontend. Traders already know the TradingView charting UX; we met them there instead of building a new visual language.
- Production infrastructure, 5 servers on Hetzner Cloud, WireGuard VPN bastion, Loki + Grafana monitoring with 90-day retention. Hetzner for cost and European data residency; WireGuard so operators reach production without exposing public SSH.

Centralized ops platform replacing 5+ disconnected tools. One system, one source of truth, zero copy-pasting.From this
mess...
Scattered tools, manual processes, spreadsheet databases, Zapier chains that break at 2am. Your team spends more time moving data between systems than doing actual work. Every new client means more manual steps. Every integration is held together with duct tape. You're paying for 6+ tools that still need you to make them work.
...to one
system.
A single, purpose-built platform that connects every API your business touches. Stripe, your CRM, email providers, broker APIs, internal databases, all integrated directly, no Zapier in between. We layer in AI where it matters: automated email sequences, smart lead routing, content generation, data analysis. Then we deploy it, train your team, and hand you the keys. You own everything.
Trading chart
animations.
Lottie-powered chart animations from the Block Research design system.
Four steps.
No ambiguity.
Map Your Requirements
We map your requirements, audit existing tools, and identify what to build. You get a clear picture of the system, even if you don't work with us.
Design the System
System design, wireframes, tech stack selection. You approve every screen and every workflow before we write a single line of code. Fixed scope. Fixed price.
Ship Working Software
Two-week sprints with working demos. You test, we iterate. No disappearing for months. You see progress every cycle.
Deploy and Hand Off
We deploy, train your team, and provide 60 days of support. You own the code, the infrastructure, everything. Optional retainer for ongoing work.
What we deliver.
We do not look like an AI automation agency.
Most dev shops pitch you templates, retainers, and demo-grade code. We ship production systems for ourselves and run them in public. Here is what that changes.
Who this is for, and who it is not.
We would rather turn work away than take on a project that will not deliver. If you recognise yourself in the left column, let us talk. If you recognise yourself on the right, we will happily point you to a better-matched team.
For you if
- You have real operational pain and a budget of around EUR 15k or more to fix it properly.
- You want to own the code and the decisions, not rent them.
- You value shipping the right system once over running endless experiments.
- You are a trading team, prop firm, small-to-mid fund, ops team, or internal team inside a scale-up.
Not for you if
- You are looking for the cheapest quote that will technically deliver.
- You need a two-week MVP to impress a board meeting.
- You want us to do the discovery work for free and pay nothing until a contract is signed.
- You are pre-product-market-fit and still looking for which AI tool to use.
The questions buyers actually ask.
Direct answers to the six things every serious prospect wants cleared up before a first call.
Fixed-scope discovery starts at a flat fee (EUR X,500, TODO: confirm number). Production builds typically range from EUR 15k to EUR 80k depending on scope. Everything is fixed-price. No retainers, no hourly billing, no open-ended invoices.
What our clients say.
"They replaced our entire ops stack with one system. Stripe, inventory, and shipping all connected through real APIs. Saved us 20+ hours a week."
"We needed a custom dashboard for our clients. They built it in 6 weeks, integrated with our API, and it just works. No maintenance headaches."
"Client onboarding was 45 minutes of manual work. They built an AI-powered intake system that does it in seconds. Paid for itself in month one."
