The Cycle of Collaboration: Boosty Labs / Storj / Inveniam
Every long-lasting partnership in tech begins with trust and shared action. For Boosty Labs, one such story started eight years ago and came to a symbolic conclusion this year – connecting early blockchain history with today’s emerging Web3 infrastructure.
Start of the Journey
In December 2017, Boosty Labs began working with its first ever client, Storj Labs – one of the earliest and most ambitious decentralized storage projects. At the time, the company supported Storj across multiple functional areas: user growth, QA, design, and development. The collaboration extended through several phases of the protocol’s evolution, including Storj V2 and the highly successful ICO of 2017.
That ICO became one of the most notable early examples of blockchain fundraising success. But what mattered most were the people around it. Storj’s white paper counted contributions from developers across the global crypto community, including Vitalik Buterin, who added to the early structure and vision. Among them were several Ukrainian engineers later known within Boosty Labs – Yaroslav Vorobiov, Egor Butko, and Andriy Katko.
During those years, Boosty Labs went beyond technical delivery. The company grew side by side with Storj, forming professional links that endured beyond formal contracts. Even after internal restructuring in 2021, when some roles shifted, the collaboration continued steadily.
Crossing Paths with Inveniam
Several years later, another name entered the picture – Inveniam, a US‑based financial technology company developing blockchain systems for asset tokenization and digital infrastructure. Boosty Labs met Inveniam during Satoshi Roundtable 2024. It started from a casual meeting and quickly grew into a working relationship. The introduction happened at a dinner with Patrick, Inveniam’s chairman, alongside industry figures such as Roger Ver and several Boosty Labs representatives.
The discussion centered on how to integrate blockchain into financial systems through Cosmos IBC and decentralized computation models. By the end of that event, the connection between both companies was established – based on mutual technical interest and long-term collaboration potential.
Expanding Cooperation
The partnership deepened during the following year. At Satoshi Roundtable 2025, another meeting took place between Boosty Labs and Inveniam. This time, it involved John Gleeson, who introduced his team and explored direct cooperation on development projects. That encounter led to the first formalized contracts and a growing involvement of Boosty Labs engineers in Inveniam’s architecture.
Throughout 2025, the companies worked closely, focusing on software development, blockchain scalability, and decentralized systems integration. These connections bridged the two ecosystems — decentralized storage from Storj and enterprise‑grade infrastructure from Inveniam — through technical continuity.
Closing the Loop
In October 2025, at a conference in Abu Dhabi organized by Inveniam, CoinTelegraph, and Mantra DAO, a significant announcement was made: Inveniam acquired Storj.
For Boosty Labs, this news carried symbolic weight. The company that had been its first client in 2017 and its later partner in 2024 were now united. Two independent clients became one entity — both connected by years of collaboration with Boosty Labs.
This merger also marked the first known instance where two long-term Boosty Labs clients merged into a single ecosystem. It demonstrated what consistent relationships and technical reliability can achieve in an industry often dominated by short-term ventures and shifting trends.
Beyond Projects
For Boosty Labs, this story is more than an anecdote. It shows the value of remaining a dependable, technically skilled partner throughout changing markets and blockchain hype cycles. From Storj’s early decentralized storage experiments to Inveniam’s asset tokenization systems, Boosty Labs has worked continuously — not as an observer, but as a contributor to both histories.
The circle has closed – from a collaboration started in 2017 to a unification announced in 2025. It is a reminder that in Web3, endurance, technical quality, and people’s commitment define success more reliably than any market trend.
