CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit trails.

  • End-to-End Development: From specification and architecture to deployment and verification on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum).
  • Security & Auditing: Rigorous internal review, formal verification, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: Code engineered for up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient storage patterns and opcode-level tuning.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and high-performance contract suite in as little as 3-4 weeks for an MVP.

ENGINEERED FOR SCALE AND SECURITY

Core Contract Capabilities

Our modular, audited smart contract suite provides the foundational infrastructure for secure, flexible, and compliant token distribution. We deliver production-ready code, not just prototypes.

01

Custom Vesting Schedules

Implement linear, cliff, step-function, or milestone-based vesting with multi-currency support (ERC-20, ERC-721). Our contracts handle complex team, investor, and advisor allocations with precision.

Vesting & Lock-up Engineering FAQ

Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for your token vesting and lock-up smart contract development.

Standard vesting schedules (e.g., team, advisor, linear/cliff) are deployed in 2-3 weeks from kickoff. Complex multi-token, multi-schedule, or custom logic (like performance-based unlocks) typically take 3-6 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial scoping call.
