We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited security patterns and delivers gas-optimized code for predictable, low-cost operations.
Privacy-Focused Dark Pool Implementation
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your token, DeFi, or NFT project.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, yield aggregators, and lending vaults.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control systems, and custom business logic for on-chain operations.
We deliver a fully tested, documented, and deployable contract suite in 2-4 weeks.
Every contract undergoes rigorous testing (unit, integration, fuzzing) and a formal verification audit before mainnet deployment. We provide a comprehensive security report and post-deployment monitoring support.
Core Technical Capabilities
Our implementation combines battle-tested cryptographic primitives with a robust, scalable infrastructure designed for institutional-grade privacy and performance.
Zero-Knowledge Order Matching
Implement MPC-based or zk-SNARK order matching to conceal order size, price, and participant identity until settlement. Ensures front-running resistance and regulatory compliance.
Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Vaults
Distributed key management for pooled liquidity using threshold signatures. Eliminates single points of failure and provides non-custodial security for participant funds.
Custom Settlement Layer
Build a dedicated settlement smart contract on Ethereum L2s (Arbitrum, zkSync) or app-chains (Polygon Supernets) for finality, minimizing on-chain footprint and gas costs.
Institutional API & FIX Connectivity
Provide low-latency REST/WebSocket APIs and FIX 4.4/5.0 protocol adapters for seamless integration with existing trading desks, OMS, and risk management systems.
Compliance & Audit Trail
Design an encrypted, permissioned log for regulators and auditors using Merkle trees. Provides transaction non-repudiation and selective disclosure without leaking trading intent.
High-Availability Matching Engine
Deploy a horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant order matching engine in a private cloud or VPC. Guarantees sub-second matching and 99.95% uptime for continuous operation.
Business Outcomes for Your Trading Desk
Our privacy-focused dark pool implementation delivers measurable improvements in execution quality, operational security, and compliance readiness for institutional trading.
Zero-Knowledge Order Matching
We implement zk-SNARKs (using Circom or Halo2) to validate trades without revealing order details, ensuring complete pre-trade privacy. This prevents front-running and information leakage.
Regulatory-Compliant Settlement
Our architecture includes on-chain transaction privacy with selective disclosure for regulators. We build audit trails using Aztec or Aleo for compliance with MiCA and FATF Travel Rule requirements.
Institutional-Grade Liquidity Routing
Connect to aggregated CEX/DEX liquidity (via 0x, 1inch) with MEV protection. Our smart order router finds the best execution price while shielding intent from public mempools.
Custom Risk & Compliance Engine
Deploy a configurable rule engine for real-time trade surveillance, AML checks, and counterparty limits. Integrates with Chainalysis or Elliptic for automated sanction screening.
High-Performance Matching Engine
We build off-chain matching engines (in Rust/Go) with sub-millisecond latency, supporting RFQ, periodic batch auctions, and continuous trading models. On-chain settlement via validity proofs.
Secure Custody Integration
Seamless integration with institutional custodians (Fireblocks, Copper) and MPC wallets. Our smart contracts support multi-sig settlement and time-locked withdrawals for enhanced security.

Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready, compliant dark pools using a structured, security-first approach that de-risks development and accelerates your time-to-market.
Architecture & Design
We design a modular, upgradeable architecture using Zero-Knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs/Starks) and secure multi-party computation (sMPC) to ensure transaction privacy and data confidentiality.
Secure Smart Contract Development
Implementation of core settlement logic and privacy mechanisms in Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards. Includes formal verification for critical functions.
Rigorous Security Audits
Multi-layered audit process including automated analysis, manual review by our in-house team, and a final assessment by a top-tier third-party firm like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp.
Testnet Deployment & Simulation
Comprehensive testing on Sepolia or Holesky, including load testing, front-running resistance simulations, and integration with existing DeFi oracles and wallets.
Mainnet Launch & Monitoring
Managed deployment with phased roll-out, real-time monitoring dashboards for liquidity and slippage, and 24/7 incident response for the first 30 days.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
We deliver complete technical documentation, operational runbooks, and conduct training sessions for your engineering team to ensure full ownership.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the backbone of your application. Our process delivers audit-ready code in 2-4 weeks, built with OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive test coverage (>95%).
- Token Systems: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155contracts with advanced minting, vesting, and governance modules. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and staking contracts with optimized gas efficiency.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control systems, and verifiable on-chain data oracles.
We don't just write code; we engineer systems for security and scale. Every contract undergoes internal review against common vulnerabilities before delivery for formal audit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear, technical answers on how we deliver institutional-grade private trading infrastructure.
From architecture to mainnet launch, a standard privacy-focused dark pool deployment takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for design and smart contract development, 3-4 weeks for core protocol implementation (ZKPs, order matching), 2 weeks for security audits and testing, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration. Complex features like cross-chain settlement or custom compliance modules can extend the timeline.
