CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- End-to-End Development: From ideation and
Solidity/Rustcoding to deployment onEVM/Solana/Cosmoschains. - Security & Audits: Formal verification, unit/integration testing, and preparation for third-party audits.
- Gas Optimization: Code-level analysis to reduce transaction costs by 15-40% for end-users.
- Upgradeability: Implementation of secure proxy patterns (
UUPS,Transparent) for future-proofing.
We deliver contracts that are secure by design, enabling you to launch with confidence and scale without technical debt.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Attack Simulation Methodology
We don't just audit code; we simulate real-world adversarial behavior to harden your DePIN's economic and governance layers. Our methodology uncovers vulnerabilities that traditional security reviews miss.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists.
We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our code is built with OpenZeppelin standards and follows formal verification patterns to mitigate risks.
- Custom Tokenomics: Design and implement
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155tokens with vesting, staking, and governance modules. - DeFi Protocols: Build automated market makers (AMMs), lending pools, and yield aggregators with gas optimization.
- Enterprise Logic: Develop custom business logic for supply chain, gaming, or real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
We deliver a fully tested, documented, and deployable contract suite in 2-4 weeks, complete with a security review report. Our focus is on mainnet resilience and long-term maintainability.
Technical & Process Questions
DePIN Governance Security FAQ
Common questions from CTOs and technical founders about our DePIN network upgrade and governance attack simulation services.
We employ a structured, three-phase methodology: 1) Threat Modeling to map your governance structure and identify attack vectors (proposal flooding, token whale manipulation, delegation exploits). 2) Simulation Execution using custom tooling to stress-test your smart contracts and off-chain governance processes under realistic adversarial conditions. 3) Remediation & Hardening where we provide a prioritized vulnerability report and implement fixes, such as time-locks, quorum adjustments, or multi-sig safeguards. This is based on our work securing over $200M in DePIN protocol TVL.
