Modular DeFi Protocol Design

We design and build component-based DeFi protocols using modular frameworks like Cosmos SDK and Substrate. Enable institutions to upgrade compliance, oracle, and risk modules independently, without full redeployment or forking.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our team specializes in Solidity and Rust, implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Solana Program Library to ensure security and gas efficiency from day one.

From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your requirements into immutable, on-chain functionality.

  • Custom Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and SPL token implementations with tailored minting, vesting, and governance.
  • DeFi & dApp Logic: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and NFT marketplaces.
  • Security-First Process: Development includes internal audits, formal verification hints, and comprehensive test suites targeting >95% coverage.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Deployment, upgradeability planning via proxies, and mainnet verification on Etherscan/Solscan.

ENGINEERED FOR SCALE

Core Capabilities of Our Modular Framework

Our modular DeFi protocol design decouples core functions into independent, upgradeable components. This architecture provides the flexibility to adapt to market changes and the robustness to handle institutional-scale transaction volumes.

02

Gas-Optimized Execution Layer

Contracts engineered for minimal gas consumption using Solidity 0.8+ best practices and assembly-level optimizations where critical. Reduces end-user transaction costs by up to 40% versus standard implementations.
