CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built for production by Web3-native engineers.
- From Idea to Mainnet: Full-cycle development from specification and
Solidity/Rustcoding to testing and deployment. - Security-First: Multi-stage audit process, including formal verification and automated analysis with
Slither/MythX. - Production Ready: Built for upgradability (
Proxypatterns), pausability, and integration with frontends and oracles. - Guaranteed Outcomes: 2-week MVP delivery or 99.9% uptime SLA for live contracts.
We don't just write code; we deliver the secure, auditable foundation your token, DeFi protocol, or NFT project requires to launch with confidence.
