Commercial terms
Buy the platform, do not rent it
Tessera is sold as source. One payment transfers the repository to you — three products, three web applications, six mobile applications, smart contracts and the deployment reference. Installation and rebranding are a separate, optional service.
Source licence
You own the code
A perpetual, non-royalty licence to the Tessera repository. You take delivery of everything that runs the demonstration you have been shown, deploy it wherever you like, modify it without asking, and keep it whether or not we work together again.
- Perpetual licence — no renewal, no seat count
- Backend: NestJS 11 runtime and the Rust engine in migration
- Three web applications — Invest, Pay, Predict
- Six mobile applications — iOS and Android for each product
- Smart contracts and the hardened deployment reference
- Technical documentation and the compliance control set
- No transaction fee, no revenue share, no phone-home
Setup & rebranding
We stand it up, you take the keys
Optional. We deploy Tessera on your infrastructure, apply your brand across the web and mobile surfaces, wire your providers, seed the environment and hand it over with the credentials. What you have just been browsing is this service, performed once.
- Deployment on your infrastructure or cloud account
- Your brand across web, mobile and mail
- Your domains, certificates and secret store
- Your custodian and KYC provider connected
- Signed Android and iOS builds under your identity
- Handover session and runbook
- Typically two to four weeks
Ongoing support
Only if you want it
You own the code, so support is a convenience rather than a dependency. Retainers cover upstream updates, new integrations and an escalation path — priced against what you actually ask for, and cancellable without losing anything.
- Upstream updates and security patches
- New custodian, KYC or chain integrations
- Named escalation contact
- Managed hosting if you would rather not operate it
- Feature development against your roadmap
- Cancel at any time — the code stays yours
- Scoped per engagement
Work we take on beyond setup
Priced per engagement. None of it is required to run the platform you have bought.
New features against your roadmap, delivered into your own repository as reviewable commits.
A different custodian, KYC provider, payment gateway or chain wired into the existing interfaces.
Sessions for your engineers and your operations team, covering the admin console, the release process and the security gates.
Help mapping the platform controls onto your regulator’s expectations. We document controls; we do not give legal advice.
