overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We deliver audit-ready, gas-optimized contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFT projects. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Vyper, and Rust for Solana, ensuring your logic is both secure and cost-effective from day one.

From a 2-week MVP to a complex multi-chain protocol, we build with your business logic and security as the foundation.

  • Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom implementations.
  • DeFi & DAOs: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, governance modules, and yield strategies.
  • Security First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit/integration testing.

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your protocol. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries, Slither static analysis, and formal verification for critical logic.

From tokenomics to governance, we translate your business logic into immutable, gas-optimized code.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom standards with vesting, staking, and airdrop mechanics.
  • DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, yield aggregators, and derivative contracts.
  • Protocol Logic: Multi-signature governance, upgradeable proxy patterns (UUPS/Transparent), and cross-chain messaging (LayerZero, Axelar).

We deliver audit-ready code with comprehensive documentation and a clear path to mainnet deployment on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Base.

Technical & Commercial Considerations

DePIN Migration & Forking FAQs

Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating a DePIN protocol migration or fork. Based on our experience delivering 30+ DePIN projects.

A standard fork of an existing DePIN protocol (e.g., Helium, Hivemapper) with custom tokenomics and UI takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 1 week for architecture and token design, 2-3 weeks for development and internal QA, and 1 week for testnet deployment and final client review. Complex migrations with novel hardware integrations or consensus changes can extend to 8-10 weeks.
