overview
CORE SERVICES
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built for production on EVM, Solana, and other major blockchains.
Every contract is built with security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested libraries like
OpenZeppelinand following formal verification patterns to mitigate risk before the first line of code is written.
- Full Audit Readiness: Code is structured and documented for seamless review by top security firms like CertiK and Quantstamp.
- Gas Optimization: We implement best practices to reduce transaction costs by up to 40%, critical for user adoption.
- Upgradeability & Maintenance: Designs include proxy patterns (
TransparentProxy,UUPS) for secure, future-proof upgrades without migrating state.

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver secure, scalable cross-chain payroll systems through a structured, transparent process designed for technical founders and CTOs. Our methodology ensures predictable timelines, zero audit findings, and production-ready deployment.
01
Architecture & Design Sprint
We begin with a 1-week collaborative sprint to design your Substrate pallet architecture and cross-chain message flow. This phase defines the tokenomics, governance model, and integration points with your existing HR/payroll systems.

Secure Pallet Development
Our team builds custom Substrate pallets in Rust, implementing payroll logic with built-in security patterns. We use OpenBrush for PSP22/PSP34 standards and conduct peer-reviewed code audits throughout development.
