R&D Collaboration
We collaborate with global enterprises, researchers, and industry leaders to transform frontier research into real-world innovation.
Where Moonshots Become Reality
Exploring What's Next. Building What Matters.
ShardLab is the R&D innovation arm of Hashed. We research, build and ship on-chain products across payments, real-world assets, DeFi and AI — and grow the ecosystem through bootcamps and conferences.
About ShardLab
Innovation at the Frontier
As Hashed's innovation arm, ShardLab explores AI, digital assets, and next-generation infrastructure — turning frontier research into ventures built for the real world.
Research with Purpose
Every product begins with rigorous research. We study what comes next in blockchain and AI, then shape it into technology that solves real problems.
Ecosystem Impact
We build alongside global partners — growing the ventures, technologies, and communities that will define the on-chain future.
What We Do
From research to ventures to ecosystem.
The ShardLab Ecosystem
Partners & collaborators
Born from the strategic cooperation between Hashed, Asia's leading Web3 venture capital, and SCBX, Thailand's largest financial conglomerate — ShardLab works with operators, founders and institutions to take Web3 from the lab to real-world adoption.

Products We Build
On-chain products taken from the lab to real users — payments, real-world assets and applied AI.
Maroo
A sovereign, regulation-friendly public Layer 1 blockchain for Korea's KRW and AI economy, powered by the OKRW stablecoin.
Learn moreMaroo
We are a sovereign, regulation-friendly public Layer 1 blockchain for Korea's KRW economy. Gas, settlement, and accounting all run on a single KRW stablecoin (OKRW).
On one chain, Maroo separates a Regulated Path for pre-approved, compliance-verified activity from an Open Path for everyday transactions. Its Programmable Compliance Layer (PCL) automatically enforces KYC/KYB, limits, sanctions, and Travel Rule checks on every transaction.
Zero-knowledge Proof (ZKP)-based verifiable privacy still lets regulators audit within a limited, procedural scope. It is also built for AI agents (KYA), verifying each agent's identity, scope, and spending limits on-chain.
Our mission is to become the sovereign blockchain standard.
a-set
RWA tokenization infrastructure connecting Southeast Asian private credit to high-yield capital markets.
Learn morea-set
We are a pioneering RWA tokenization platform bringing Southeast Asia's real-world private credit on-chain. We target one of the world's fastest-growing yet structurally underserved credit markets — a region where high-quality local originators face a persistent financing gap.
By partnering with institutional-grade originators for trusted off-chain asset sourcing, we connect global on-chain capital with highly vetted regional opportunities, providing the infrastructure that supports the full asset lifecycle from deal structuring to tokenization.
Our mission is to serve as the premier gateway to Southeast Asian private credit, transforming regional real-world yield into a transparent and institutional-grade asset class.
Makan Split
A social bill-splitting app that removes the awkwardness of collecting money and turns group settlements into fast, rewarding moments, built for Malaysia.
Learn moreMakan Split
We are a social bill-splitting platform reinventing how people settle shared expense in Malaysia. We target one of everyday life's most persistent frictions: the social discomfort of chasing friends over small amounts, and the tedious math of splitting tax-inclusive, itemized restaurant bills. By pairing free receipt OCR with automatic SST/SVC allocation, a single streamlined by-item flow, system-driven WhatsApp reminders, and real-world reward points, we transform settlement from an awkward personal chore into a fast, gamified, and social experience. Our mission, as captured in "Less kira bill, more rapat," to become the default way urban Malaysians split, settle, and stay close, evolving from a settlement utility into a broader platform for dining rewards, commerce, and financial services.
