overview
FULL-STACK INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Blockchain Development

Build, deploy, and scale purpose-built blockchain networks and applications.

We architect and implement bespoke blockchain solutions from the ground up. Our full-cycle development delivers production-ready networks, sidechains, and dApps tailored to your specific use case—whether it's a private enterprise ledger or a high-throughput public protocol.

  • Layer 1 & 2 Development: Custom consensus (PoA, PoS), EVM-compatible chains, and zk-rollup/Optimistic rollup frameworks.
  • Smart Contract Suite: Secure, gas-optimized contracts for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom logic with formal verification.
  • Node Infrastructure: Managed validator sets, RPC endpoints, block explorers, and cross-chain bridges with 99.9% uptime SLA.
  • End-to-End Delivery: From whitepaper technical design to mainnet launch and ongoing governance support.

Move from concept to a live, audited network in 6-12 weeks. We provide the technical leadership and battle-tested code so you can focus on your product.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Consensus Fault Audit Methodology

Our systematic approach to DePIN consensus audits identifies critical vulnerabilities before they impact your network's liveness and security, ensuring resilient, production-ready systems.

01

Protocol Specification & Model Verification

We formally verify your consensus logic against a mathematical model to prove correctness under defined fault assumptions (e.g., Byzantine, crash-stop). This eliminates design flaws before a single line of code is written.

02

Implementation & Code Review

Line-by-line audit of your consensus node implementation (Rust, Go, C++) for synchronization bugs, memory safety, and concurrency issues that could lead to forks or crashes under load.

03

Network Simulation & Fault Injection

We deploy your protocol in a controlled, adversarial testnet to simulate real-world attacks: message delays, packet loss, partition attacks, and malicious validator behavior.

Economic & Incentive Analysis

Stress-test of your staking, slashing, and reward mechanisms to ensure economic security. We model adversarial strategies to identify profitable attack vectors.

Finality & Liveness Guarantees

Rigorous testing to verify your network achieves finality under the maximum tolerated faulty nodes and recovers liveness within specified bounds after failures.

DePIN Consensus Audit FAQs

Get clear answers on our specialized audit process for DePIN consensus mechanisms, designed to uncover critical vulnerabilities before they impact your network.

Our audit provides a comprehensive security review of your consensus layer. This includes the core state machine logic, validator/node selection, slashing conditions, reward distribution, fork choice rules, and network message handling. We analyze for liveness failures, safety violations, and economic attacks like long-range, nothing-at-stake, or grinding attacks. The final report details vulnerabilities by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with PoC exploits and actionable remediation guidance.
