CORE ENGINEERING

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your Web3 product. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and compliance with standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155.

  • End-to-End Development: From specification to deployment on mainnet.
  • Audit-Ready Code: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries and Solidity 0.8+ best practices.
  • Integration Support: Seamless connection to your front-end and backend systems.

Reduce your time-to-market with a 2-4 week MVP delivery for standard token or NFT contracts.

Our engineers specialize in complex logic for DeFi, gaming, and enterprise applications, delivering contracts with 99.9% uptime SLAs and comprehensive documentation for your team.

ARCHITECTURE

Multi-Layered Verification Mechanisms

Our defense-in-depth approach combines on-chain, off-chain, and behavioral analysis to ensure only legitimate, high-quality nodes join your network, eliminating fake or malicious actors before they can cause harm.

01

On-Chain Identity Proof

We verify wallet history, transaction volume, and asset holdings directly on-chain to establish economic identity and stake. This prevents Sybil attacks from empty wallets and ensures participants have skin in the game.

Off-Chain KYC/KYB Verification

Optional, enterprise-grade identity verification for permissioned networks or regulated environments. Integrates with leading providers for legal entity checks and AML compliance.

Business Outcomes of Sybil-Resistant Onboarding

Our node onboarding framework delivers measurable security and operational advantages, directly impacting your network's integrity and your bottom line.

01

Enhanced Network Security

Implement a multi-layered identity verification framework using zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain reputation scoring to eliminate fake nodes. This reduces the attack surface for 51% attacks and transaction censorship by over 95%.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Implementation Process

A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a production-ready, sybil-resistant node onboarding system, minimizing your team's integration overhead and technical risk.

01

Architecture & Threat Modeling

We analyze your network's specific trust model and threat vectors to design a custom sybil-resistance strategy. This includes selecting the optimal proof-of-personhood mechanism (e.g., Gitcoin Passport, Worldcoin, BrightID) and defining node reputation parameters.

Sybil-Resistant Onboarding FAQs

Common questions from CTOs and technical founders evaluating our node onboarding service. Get specific answers on timelines, security, and integration.

For a standard sybil-resistant node network with 50-100 nodes, we deliver a production-ready system in 3-5 weeks. This includes 1 week for design & threat modeling, 2-3 weeks for core development and integration, and 1 week for internal testing and client handoff. Complex deployments with custom consensus or multi-chain support may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones upon engagement.
