PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Delivery Methodology
A structured, transparent process designed to deliver secure, high-performance cross-margin protocols with predictable timelines and zero operational surprises.
01
Architecture & Risk Modeling
We begin with a comprehensive risk architecture review, defining isolated margin pools, liquidation waterfalls, and multi-asset collateral models. This phase establishes the protocol's economic safety and capital efficiency.

CORE INFRASTRUCTURE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built for production from day one.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and formal verification patterns to mitigate risk before the first line of code is written.
Deliver a production-ready MVP in 2-4 weeks, not months. We focus on rapid iteration with clear deliverables at each sprint.
- Protocols & Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155,ERC-4626, and custom implementations. - Security: Multi-stage audits, including automated analysis (
Slither,MythX) and manual review by our in-house experts. - Deployment & Management: Full lifecycle support from testnet (
Sepolia,Holesky) to mainnet, with upgradeability patterns (TransparentProxy,UUPS).

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, security, and deliverables for building robust cross-margin protocols.
From initial design to mainnet deployment, a standard institutional cross-margin protocol takes 8-12 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and risk modeling, 4-5 weeks for core smart contract development, 2 weeks for internal and external security audits, and 1-2 weeks for integration testing and deployment. Complex features like multi-asset support or custom liquidation engines can extend the timeline, which we scope and agree upon upfront.
