There are many types of blockchain development solutions for 2026. Some create production quality systems that run without incident for many years. Others create code that breaks under real-world pressure, costs millions to fix, and does not meet your organisation's compliance deadline.
The issue is that many enterprises do not know how to differentiate the two until it is too late. In 2026, the stakes are even higher with the implementation of MiCA mandated in July. In this article, we have covered the top 25 questions you should ask any vendor you consider. Listen carefully to the answers, and you will know which firm will truly cohere with your business requirements.
1. What has been your revenue growth in the last 3 years?
Blockchain is expected to reach 105.1 billion dollars by 2032, with a compound annual growth (CAGR) rate of 62.6% [2025-2032]. A blockchain development company not growing with the market is falling behind.
Good responses to this question would be: "We have experienced 35-60% annual growth, and here's a summary of our financial performance."
2. Currently, how many full-time blockchain developers have you employed?
An example of a good answer is: “We have over 700 blockchain specialists, and 75% are at least mid-senior-level specialists.”
All answers would be considered “good” as long as they are based on projected numbers. Poor responses include companies that inflate their numbers and provide vague statements such as, “We have an on-demand team model.
3. What is the amount of revenue derived from blockchain compared to other services?
Why is this important? If blockchain is only 10% of the business, then your project may be a side gig for them. On the other hand, if it is 80% or more, it means that blockchain is the area of expertise for your potential provider.
4. Give us an example of how you maintain a high level of quality during the rapid team expansions.
A large number of service providers hire aggressively, and as a result, the quality of their workforce tends to decline over time. Thus, it’s essential to understand their expectations regarding the hiring process, both from a knowledge and accountability perspective.
5. Can you please show us your MiCA readiness roadmap?
If your custom blockchain development company is not ready for the MiCA deadline, then they will not be able to ensure you operate within the required legal bounds. If they say, "We know about the MiCA compliance,” but do not give you the exact execution plan for the same, you'd better look for some other vendor.
6. Can you lay out your recent smart contract auditing reports? And, who conducts the audits?
Look for concrete responses like - "Here are three audit reports from recently conducted audits." You should know whether they perform the audit in-house or utilize a third party.
7. What security certificates have you obtained?
ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 are the usual security-based certifications for companies creating enterprise blockchain applications. Checking the credentials gives you the assurance that your time and money are being invested in a trusted operator.
8. What is your process for managing regulatory changes, and how are you keeping track of GDPR, HIPAA, MAS VARA, SEC, FIU, or ADGM?
Regulations change on a regular basis & you must have a partner that has a crystal-clear, proven approach to adjusting your platforms accordingly.
Don’t give a second thought to your selection after you get an answer like this from their team - “Our compliance department will keep track of new regulatory obligations (that matter to your product), plus we notify our clients of anything that needs to be added or removed, and we do all of the required updates relevant for your use case."
9. Can you describe a project you worked on that had significant legal constraints?
While it may sound easy to say we have experience with complex regulatory environments and shipping security-hardened systems, to be able to back up these claims with examples is an entirely different thing.
Request evidence of specific projects that your blockchain development services vendor has successfully delivered - legal and compliant ones, across sectors like healthcare, finance, or any other related to your project.
10. On which blockchains are you actively working? Can you give us three examples of projects that are currently live on each blockchain you are developing on?
Different organizations have varied levels of protocol knowledge depending on the chains they work with. For example, Ethereum and Polygon use distinct architectures, while Solana offers a fundamentally different consensus mechanism altogether. Therefore, teams that work with multiple blockchains will typically have a deeper technical understanding of Web3 technology than those that only understand one ecosystem.
