Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for building high-performance ZK-Rollup protocols.
A standard ZK-Rollup DEX or lending protocol takes 6-12 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2-3 weeks for architecture and circuit design, 3-5 weeks for core smart contract and prover development, and 1-2 weeks for rigorous security audits and testnet deployment. Complex multi-protocol ecosystems or custom ZK-VMs can extend this timeline.
