Move Smart Contract Development

overview

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process is built on audited security patterns and gas-optimized code to ensure reliability and cost-efficiency from day one.

Security-First Development: Contracts built with OpenZeppelin libraries and undergo rigorous internal audits before deployment.
Protocol Expertise: Specialized in ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom standards for DeFi (AMMs, staking, lending).
Full Lifecycle Support: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance on EVM-compatible chains.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and performant foundation for your Web3 product in as little as 2-4 weeks.

BUILT FOR PRODUCTION

Why Choose Our Move Development Suite

Our suite is engineered for CTOs who need secure, scalable, and maintainable Move applications, not just prototypes. We deliver production-ready systems with enterprise-grade guarantees.

Formally Verified Security

Every contract undergoes formal verification with the Move Prover and third-party audits by firms like OtterSec. We guarantee correctness for critical financial logic, preventing reentrancy and overflow vulnerabilities by design.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Development Methodology

Our systematic approach to Move development ensures secure, scalable, and production-ready smart contracts, reducing your time-to-market and technical risk.

Architecture & Design Review

We begin with a collaborative design session to architect your Move modules, define resource structures, and model capabilities for optimal security and performance on Aptos or Sui.

EXPLORE

Secure Development & Testing

Development follows strict security patterns using Move Prover for formal verification. We implement comprehensive unit and integration tests, including property-based testing with Move's testing framework.

EXPLORE

Rigorous Audit & Optimization

Every contract undergoes internal peer review and automated analysis. We perform gas optimization and security audits, ensuring adherence to Move best practices before mainnet deployment.
