At Tanooki Labs, we act as your trusted external development team, executing high-impact initiatives without diverting your internal resources.

We Solve the "Not Enough Bandwidth" Problem

As a growing startup, your engineering and product teams are locked in on your company’s vision. But what happens when other essential projects arise?


This is where we come in.

 A new revenue-driving initiative needs to be built, but your team can’t shift focus.

Innovation projects to explore how a new technology can be applied to the business.

You want to explore AI, automation, or integrations, but don’t have the bandwidth for R&D.

A custom internal tool could streamline operations, but no one has time to build it.

Dapper Labs: Enhancing Developer Experience to Drive Blockchain Adoption


Dapper Labs, the creators of Flow blockchain, wanted to accelerate adoption by improving how developers interacted with their platform. Their developer experience team partnered with Tanooki Labs to create tools and resources that made it easier for developers to build applications on Flow.

Our work focused on three key areas:

  • Reference Applications – We built real-world example applications showcasing best practices for building on Flow. These reference apps provided developers with clear, working implementations they could learn from and modify for their own use cases.

  • Developer Tools – We created essential tools to streamline the development process, making it easier to integrate Flow into new applications and reducing friction in onboarding.

  • New Documentation Site – We designed and developed a documentation hub with better structure, clearer guides, and interactive components, ensuring developers had everything they needed to get started quickly and troubleshoot efficiently.


By enhancing the developer experience, we helped Dapper Labs reduce barriers to entry, making Flow more accessible and attractive to new developers. These improvements not only drove platform adoption but also expanded the ecosystem of applications built on Flow, reinforcing its position as a leading blockchain for NFTs and decentralized applications.
