Core Capabilities of Our Sharded Dev Environment
Our environment provides the isolated, production-ready infrastructure needed to build and test high-throughput dApps without the complexity of managing shards.
Isolated Shard Instances
Spin up dedicated, sandboxed shard environments in minutes. Each instance provides a clean EVM-compatible chain for focused development and testing, eliminating cross-shard interference during the build phase.
Cross-Shard Messaging Simulator
Test and debug cross-shard transactions in a controlled setting. Our simulator replicates real network latency and finality delays, ensuring your dApp's logic handles asynchronous communication correctly before mainnet deployment.
State Snapshot & Forking
Capture the exact state of any shard at any block. Fork from a snapshot to test upgrades, simulate attacks, or replay transactions, drastically reducing debugging and QA cycles.
Integrated Monitoring & Analytics
Gain real-time visibility into shard performance, transaction throughput, and gas consumption. Built-in dashboards track key metrics to identify bottlenecks and optimize dApp efficiency early.
Why Build with a Dedicated Sharded Testnet
Move beyond public testnet limitations. A dedicated, production-like sharded environment is essential for validating performance, security, and user experience at scale before mainnet launch.
Production-Identical Performance
Test against real-world conditions with a dedicated, isolated shard that mirrors mainnet latency, gas costs, and block times. Eliminate "it works on testnet" surprises.
Isolated Security & Privacy
Run confidential stress tests and security audits without exposing your code or transaction patterns to competitors on public networks. Your intellectual property stays private.
Deterministic Cross-Shard Testing
Validate complex cross-shard transactions, asset transfers, and message passing logic in a controlled multi-shard setup. Ensure atomicity and consistency for your dApp's core workflows.
Rapid Iteration & CI/CD
Integrate your dedicated testnet into automated CI/CD pipelines. Enable your team to deploy, test, and revert changes in minutes, not days, accelerating development cycles.

Our Delivery Process: From Setup to Integration
We deliver a production-ready sharded environment in weeks, not months. Our standardized process, honed across 50+ deployments, ensures zero surprises, complete transparency, and a seamless handover to your engineering team.
Architecture & Environment Design
We design your multi-shard architecture based on your specific throughput, data locality, and consensus requirements. This includes defining shard count, validator sets, cross-shard communication protocols, and selecting the optimal client (Geth, Erigon, Nethermind).
Infrastructure Provisioning & Automation
We provision and configure all cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform). This includes automated deployment of node clusters per shard, load balancers, monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Grafana), and high-availability setups.
Core Protocol Configuration & Deployment
We deploy and configure the blockchain client software across all shards. This involves setting genesis blocks, bootnodes, validator keys, RPC/WS endpoints, and implementing the chosen consensus mechanism (PoA, PoS) with secure key management.
Cross-Shard Communication Setup
We implement and test the secure messaging layer for cross-shard transactions. This includes deploying relayers or state sync contracts, configuring finality guarantees, and establishing the security model for inter-shard asset and data transfer.
Monitoring, Alerting & DevOps Handoff
We deliver a comprehensive observability suite with custom dashboards for per-shard metrics (TPS, gas, block time), validator health, and cross-shard traffic. Full documentation and training are provided for your DevOps team.
Production Readiness & Integration Support
We conduct final load testing, security reviews, and assist with the integration of your dApps. We provide ongoing support during your initial deployment to ensure smooth migration from testnet to mainnet operations.
Sharded Development Environment: FAQs
Get specific answers on timelines, security, and process for our dedicated sharded blockchain development environment.
We deliver a fully configured, production-ready sharded development environment in 2-4 weeks from kickoff. This includes provisioning isolated shards, deploying your chosen consensus client (e.g., Prysm, Lighthouse), setting up cross-shard communication layers, and integrating your CI/CD pipeline. Complex multi-shard architectures with custom state transition logic may extend to 6 weeks.
