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 built for millions of concurrent requests. We've indexed entire blockchain histories and built APIs serving real-time financial data at sub-100ms latency under sustained load.

02

Distributed Infrastructure

Systems designed for zero downtime. We evaluate the constraints — cost, latency, compliance, scale — then architect accordingly. Bare-metal, cloud-native, or hybrid. Horizontal scaling with automated failover.

03

Developer Tooling & SDKs

CLIs, SDKs, and client libraries with fully typed APIs, predictable error handling, and documentation generated from source. We write the tools we'd want to integrate against.

04

Data Pipelines & Streaming

Real-time ingestion, transformation, and delivery. WebSocket streams, message queues, and search indexing — wired together into pipelines that handle throughput spikes without dropping data.

05

Custom Full-Stack Applications

Complete products from backend to UI. APIs, web applications, mobile apps, admin panels, and the infrastructure that connects them. We spec it, design it, and build it.

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. Nearly two decades building software — from machine learning and autonomous systems to blockchain infrastructure at protocol level. CTO across multiple ventures. Designs the architecture behind every system we deliver.

Dominique Deschatre

Product-first engineer. Builds full-stack products from architecture to pixel — APIs, Angular frontends, Flutter apps, and admin systems. Focuses on making complex workflows feel simple through deliberate UX and clean component design.

Thiago Canellas

More than two decades leading engineering projects and startups. Manages scope, timelines, and client relationships so the engineering team ships without friction. Background in strategy and consulting applied to software delivery.
