We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited code patterns and gas optimization from day one.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and efficient protocol foundation that investors and users trust.
- End-to-End Development: From
Solidity/Rustarchitecture to deployment onEVM/Solana/Cosmoschains. - Security-First: Implementation of OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and pre-audit readiness.
- Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient contract design and storage patterns.
- Real-World Ready: Integrations for oracles, multisig wallets, and upgradeability using transparent proxy patterns.
Technical & Commercial Questions
Customs Automation FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and compliance leads evaluating automated trade solutions.
Standard deployment for a single customs regime (e.g., US CBP) takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production. Complex multi-jurisdiction rollouts (EU, UK, APAC) typically require 6-8 weeks. This includes integration, configuration, testing, and go-live support.
