Frequently Asked Questions — Consultancy

Why are UAE and Saudi Arabia popular jurisdictions for crypto businesses?
The UAE has emerged as one of the world's most crypto-friendly regulatory environments, with VARA (the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority) providing a clear licensing framework for digital asset businesses, and free zones like ADGM and DIFC offering additional regulatory pathways. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 programme has placed digital economy development at its core, creating growing opportunities for fintech and Web3 businesses. Both jurisdictions offer favourable tax environments and strong institutional investor presence — making them attractive operational bases for crypto projects.
How does Peninsula CS help crypto founders set up in the UAE?
Peninsula CS guides crypto and Web3 founders through jurisdiction selection (mainland UAE, ADGM, DIFC, or other free zones), company formation, regulatory compliance with VARA and relevant free zone authorities, and ongoing corporate governance requirements. With 1,500+ companies incorporated and Alistair Paine's 15 years of MENA corporate services experience, the firm provides practical on-the-ground expertise rather than generic formation services.
What does a typical Gauntlet engagement involve?
A typical Gauntlet engagement provides ongoing quantitative risk parameter optimisation for DeFi protocols — using agent-based simulation and quantitative finance methodology to model how the protocol's economic system behaves under stress conditions. Deliverables include parameter recommendations (collateral factors, liquidation thresholds, interest rate curves), risk reports, and ongoing monitoring. For major protocols, this is an ongoing service rather than a one-time project.
How much does Gauntlet charge for its services?
Gauntlet's risk management service is positioned as an ongoing engagement at six-figure annual rates for major protocols — reflecting the continuous nature of the work and the scale of TVL being protected. For protocols like Aave and Compound (with billions in TVL), the cost of a Gauntlet engagement is modest relative to the risk mitigation value. Specific pricing is determined by protocol complexity and TVL scale.
What advisory services does Delphi Digital offer beyond research?
Delphi Consulting (the advisory arm) works with protocols on tokenomics modelling, mechanism design, go-to-market strategy, competitive analysis, DeFi system architecture, and launch strategy. The advisory practice directly leverages Delphi's research team — meaning advisory clients benefit from the same analytical depth that produces the firm's widely-cited institutional research reports, rather than a separate team of generalist consultants.
How much does Delphi Digital's research subscription cost?
Delphi Digital's institutional research subscription starts from approximately $1,500 per month, providing access to the firm's deep-dive protocol analyses, market structure research, and competitive landscape reports. Advisory engagement pricing is project-based and significantly higher — the subscription is the entry point for organisations wanting Delphi's analytical perspective without a full advisory relationship.
What advisory services does Messari offer beyond research subscriptions?
Messari's advisory services include protocol disclosure consulting (helping projects structure transparent, investor-grade public disclosures), governance analytics, tokenomics advisory, and go-to-market consulting. These services leverage Messari's position as the most widely trusted source of crypto market data — advisory clients benefit from both the analytical work and the institutional credibility of Messari's brand endorsement.
How much does Messari's research platform cost?
Messari's research platform starts from approximately $300 per month for individual subscribers, with enterprise pricing for institutional investors, funds, and protocols available on a bespoke basis. Advisory services are priced separately and on a project basis. The $300/month entry point makes Messari's data and research accessible to a much wider audience than institutional-only platforms.
What jurisdictions does Otonomos cover for Web3 company formation?
Otonomos covers all major crypto-friendly jurisdictions for entity formation, including the Cayman Islands (foundations and exempted companies), Marshall Islands (DAO LLCs), Wyoming (DAO LLCs and DUNAs), RAK DAO in the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland. The platform is specifically optimised for blockchain and token projects, so jurisdiction recommendations are grounded in which structures best serve DAO governance, token issuance, or DeFi protocol operations rather than generic corporate advice.
What is the difference between Otonomos and OtoCo?
Otonomos handles traditional off-chain company formation — digitally managed but resulting in standard registered legal entities in physical jurisdictions. OtoCo is its on-chain counterpart: a blockchain-native platform that lets founders instantly spawn a legal entity (typically a Wyoming or Marshall Islands DAO LLC) directly from a wallet, with the incorporation record written on-chain. OtoCo is designed for projects that want minimal friction and maximum crypto-nativity, while Otonomos serves founders who need a more conventional legal structure with digital delivery.
