overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by certified auditors to power your Web3 product.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our code is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one.

Deliver a battle-tested MVP in under 3 weeks with full audit readiness.

  • End-to-End Development: From specification and architecture to deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana.
  • Security-First Process: Every contract undergoes internal review using Slither and Foundry, following patterns from our audit team.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Achieve >99.9% uptime, gas optimizations up to 40%, and compliance with ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 standards.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our 4-Phase Migration Methodology

A structured, risk-mitigated approach to transition your legacy financial or data system onto Bitcoin Layers (L2s, sidechains) with zero downtime and full asset integrity.

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing system, mapping data flows, dependencies, and business logic. We then design a target architecture on Bitcoin L2s (e.g., Lightning Network, Stacks, Rootstock) with a detailed migration blueprint.

Phase 2: Smart Contract & Bridge Development

Our engineers develop and audit the core migration components: custom smart contracts for asset logic and secure, non-custodial bridges for asset transfer between your legacy system and the target Bitcoin Layer.

Phase 3: Staged Migration & Testing

We execute migration in controlled stages (e.g., read-only mirror, dual-write, cutover) with a comprehensive test suite on a forked mainnet environment. This ensures functional parity and identifies issues before final deployment.

Phase 4: Go-Live & Post-Migration Support

We manage the final cutover, monitor system health, and provide 30 days of intensive post-migration support. This includes performance optimization, team training, and documentation handoff for your new Bitcoin Layer infrastructure.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built for security and speed:

  • Two-week MVP sprints for rapid validation.
  • Gas-optimized code reducing user transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full audit readiness using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard patterns.

From tokenomics to complex DeFi mechanisms, we translate your requirements into immutable, efficient code.

Our engineers specialize in:

  • Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and SPL token implementations.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and staking contracts.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, vesting schedules, and governance modules.

Every contract includes comprehensive unit testing and deployment scripts for mainnet launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on migrating your financial infrastructure to Bitcoin layers. We specialize in secure, high-throughput transitions for FinTechs and enterprises.

Our standard migration timeline is 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes a 1-week discovery phase, 2-4 weeks for core development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for testing and security audits. The exact duration depends on the complexity of your existing systems (e.g., monolithic vs. microservices) and the target Bitcoin layer (e.g., Lightning Network, Stacks, or a rollup). We provide a detailed project plan within the first week.
