Our story

Born in blockchain.
Built for anything.

We started as EOS Rio — building mission-critical infrastructure for one of the world's most active blockchain networks. We created tools that became industry standards, served millions of API calls daily, and earned a reputation for engineering.

Today, we bring that same discipline to every problem worth solving. Rio Blocks is where deep systems expertise meets the ambition to build what doesn't exist yet.

Capabilities

What we build

01

High-Performance APIs

Scalable, real-time data systems engineered for millions of concurrent requests. We've built indexers that process entire blockchain histories — your API challenge is solvable.

02

Distributed Infrastructure

Production-grade systems designed for zero downtime. Hybrid bare-metal and cloud architectures that scale horizontally and recover gracefully.

03

Developer Tooling

CLIs, SDKs, and libraries that engineers love to use. We build tools with the developer experience we'd demand ourselves.

04

Data Pipelines & Streaming

Real-time ingestion, transformation, and delivery of massive data flows. WebSocket streams, message queues, and search engines — orchestrated.

05

Custom Complex Solutions

When off-the-shelf doesn't exist. We build from first principles — the kind of software that becomes the foundation others build on.

Products

What we're shipping

Open Source

Our open work

We solve hard problems. Sometimes the solution is useful to everyone. Protocol-level indexers, mesh networking daemons, developer SDKs — shipped, maintained, and battle-tested.

The People

Who we are

Igor Lins e Silva

Architect of protocol-grade software. Built Hyperion — the full history API that powers the Antelope ecosystem. Thinks in systems, ships in TypeScript, Rust, and Zig. Photographer on the side. Believes infrastructure should be invisible and indestructible.

Dominique Deschatre

Product-first engineer. Won HACKPUC 2017 and never stopped building. Combines industrial engineering precision with an eye for design. Leads development where UX meets deep technical complexity — the kind of software that feels effortless but isn't.

Thiago Canellas

Bridge between the technical and the strategic. A decade of startup leadership — from consulting rooms at Cambridge to backend terminals in Rio. Turns ambitious ideas into ships that sail. The reason complex projects finish on time.

Let's build something
extraordinary.
