We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that power your dApp's core logic. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing formal verification and multi-audit cycles to ensure your contracts are resilient against exploits.
DeFi Protocol Component Scaffolds
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
- Custom Logic: Tailored
SolidityorVypercontracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more. - Gas Optimization: Expert-level code that minimizes transaction costs for your users.
- Full Audit Trail: Development includes comprehensive testing with
Hardhat/Foundryand integration with leading audit firms. - Deployment & Verification: We handle mainnet deployment, Etherscan verification, and initial monitoring setup.
From a simple
ERC-20token to a complex cross-chain vault, we deliver contracts that are secure, efficient, and ready for scale.
Pre-Built, Production-Ready Financial Primitives
Deploy battle-tested, audited components for core DeFi functionality in weeks, not months. Each primitive is built on industry standards, optimized for gas, and ready for mainnet.
From Code to Capital Efficiency in Weeks
Our DeFi Protocol Component Scaffolds provide production-ready, battle-tested modules that accelerate your development timeline and de-risk your launch.
Modular Liquidity Engine
Pre-built Automated Market Maker (AMM) cores with concentrated liquidity, dynamic fees, and MEV protection. Deploy a Uniswap V3/V4-style DEX in days, not months.
Audited Staking & Governance
Secure ERC-20/ERC-721 staking vaults with slashing logic, reward distribution, and Snapshot-compatible governance modules. Includes formal verification reports.
Cross-Chain Asset Bridge
Interoperability scaffold for secure asset transfers across EVM chains (Arbitrum, Polygon, Base). Uses LayerZero or Axelar with canonical bridging patterns.
Yield Aggregator Vaults
Capital-efficient vault strategies for Compound, Aave, and Curve. Features automated compounding, fee optimization, and risk-tiered investment pools.
Oracle Integration Suite
Pre-configured price feeds and data oracles from Chainlink, Pyth, and API3. Includes TWAP calculators, keeper networks, and fallback mechanisms.
Gas-Optimized Token Standards
Custom ERC-20, ERC-4626, and ERC-1155 implementations with batch transactions, permit2 signatures, and up to 30% lower gas costs than OpenZeppelin defaults.

Our Scaffolding Methodology
Our systematic approach to DeFi protocol development ensures security, speed, and scalability from day one. We deliver production-ready components, not just prototypes.
Architecture & Specification
We begin with a comprehensive technical design document, mapping your business logic to secure, gas-optimized smart contract architecture. This blueprint includes tokenomics modeling, integration points, and security threat analysis.
Core Smart Contract Scaffold
We deploy a hardened foundation using OpenZeppelin libraries and our battle-tested templates. This includes essential DeFi primitives: token contracts (ERC-20/4626), governance modules, and upgradeable proxy patterns.
Automated Testing Suite
Every component is validated with a comprehensive test suite using Foundry or Hardhat. We implement unit tests, integration tests, and fork tests against mainnet state to ensure reliability under real-world conditions.
Security Audit Preparation
We prepare your codebase for formal audit by conducting internal reviews, static analysis with Slither, and generating detailed documentation. Our code follows CEI (Checks-Effects-Interactions) patterns and includes NatSpec comments.
Frontend & SDK Integration
We provide a React-based frontend scaffold with Web3 integration (wagmi/viem) and a TypeScript SDK. This enables immediate UI testing of core protocol functions and seamless developer onboarding.
Deployment & Verification
We handle mainnet and testnet deployment using secure multisig workflows, contract verification on Etherscan, and initial configuration. This includes setting up oracles, liquidity pools, and governance parameters.
Build vs. Buy: Scaffold vs. Custom Development

Each scaffold is a production-ready, audited codebase for a specific DeFi primitive. It includes the core smart contracts (Solidity 0.8+), a comprehensive test suite (Hardhat/Foundry), deployment scripts, basic frontend integration examples, and documentation. For example, an Automated Market Maker (AMM) scaffold includes the core pool logic, router, factory, and a basic UI for swaps and liquidity provision, built to be extended with your custom tokenomics and features.
