overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana chains, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one. Our contracts are built for real-world use cases like DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and enterprise-grade tokenization.

We deliver battle-tested code with a 0% critical vulnerability rate in external audits.

  • Security-First Development: Built with OpenZeppelin standards, comprehensive unit tests, and pre-audit reviews.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and Solidity/Rust development to deployment, verification, and monitoring.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, reduce gas costs by up to 40%, and launch your MVP in as little as 2 weeks.

STRUCTURED DELIVERY

Our EVM-to-Non-EVM Bridge Protocol Design Process

A systematic, security-first approach to architecting and deploying cross-chain bridges that move assets, not just data. We deliver production-ready protocols with audited security and measurable performance.

01

Architecture & Consensus Design

We design the core bridge architecture—choosing between optimistic, light client, or MPC-based models—and define the validator/multi-sig consensus mechanism for your target chains (e.g., Solana, Cosmos, Aptos).

Smart Contract & On-Chain Module Development

Development of secure, gas-optimized Solidity/Vyper contracts for the EVM side and Rust/Move modules for the non-EVM side, implementing deposit, locking, minting, and governance logic.
