DePIN Node Consensus Client Development

We design, fork, and build custom consensus clients for DePIN networks, implementing novel mechanisms like proof-of-location and proof-of-uptime to secure your physical infrastructure.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the trustless backbone of your application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment to mainnet.

  • Token Systems: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts with advanced features like vesting, minting controls, and governance hooks.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking mechanisms, and yield optimizers.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, supply chain tracking, and custom business logic with gas-optimized execution.

We deliver fully documented, auditable code with a clear upgrade path, reducing your time-to-market from months to as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.

METHODOLOGY

Our Development Process

A systematic, security-first approach to building robust DePIN consensus clients that scale. We deliver production-ready code, not just prototypes.

01

Architecture & Protocol Analysis

We begin by analyzing your target DePIN protocol (Helium, Hivemapper, etc.) to design a client architecture optimized for its specific consensus mechanism (PoC, PoPW) and hardware constraints.

5+
Protocols Supported

Technical & Commercial Questions

DePIN Consensus Client FAQs

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for developing and deploying a custom DePIN consensus client.

A standard DePIN consensus client deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet. This includes protocol analysis, client development, integration testing, and deployment automation. Complex requirements like custom incentive mechanisms or multi-chain support can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint-by-sprint timeline in our initial proposal.
