StarkNet Cairo Contract Versioning Tools

We build custom tooling for versioning and upgrading Cairo contracts on StarkNet, solving the unique challenges of class hash declarations, state diffs, and ZK-rollup upgrade paths.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the backbone of your protocol. Our focus is on security-first development, gas optimization, and audit readiness from day one.

Deliver a battle-tested foundation that handles real volume and value.

  • Custom Logic: Build unique tokenomics, staking mechanisms, or governance systems.
  • Security Patterns: Implement OpenZeppelin standards and formal verification where required.
  • Gas Efficiency: Optimize for cost, targeting up to 40% lower transaction fees.
  • Full Audit Trail: Code is structured for seamless review by firms like Trail of Bits or CertiK.

We manage the full lifecycle: from initial specification and development to deployment on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, or other L1/L2 networks, and ongoing maintenance. Typical delivery for a core MVP contract suite is 3-4 weeks.
