Our ZK Circuit Development Capabilities
We design and implement high-performance zk-SNARK and zk-STARK circuits that deliver verifiable privacy, scalability, and compliance for your DeFi protocols.
Custom Circuit Design & Implementation
We build bespoke zk-circuits for your specific DeFi logic, from private swaps and shielded liquidity pools to confidential yield calculations. Our circuits are optimized for minimal proof generation time and verification gas costs.
Gas-Optimized On-Chain Verification
We specialize in deploying verifier contracts with extreme gas efficiency on EVM chains (Ethereum, L2s) and Solana. This directly reduces the operational cost for your users and protocol.
Security-First Development & Auditing
Every circuit undergoes rigorous internal review using formal verification tools and symbolic execution. We prepare comprehensive documentation for seamless third-party audits by firms like Trail of Bits or Zellic.
Plonk & Groth16 Proving Systems
We implement the optimal proving system for your use case: Groth16 for smallest proofs on-chain, or Plonk/Plonky2 for universal setups and faster prover performance in complex DeFi applications.
Recursive Proof Aggregation
Scale your protocol by aggregating thousands of transactions into a single proof. We design recursive circuits to batch operations, dramatically reducing per-transaction cost and blockchain load.
End-to-End Integration Support
We don't just deliver circuits. We provide full integration support into your existing stack, including prover backend services, frontend SDKs, and monitoring tools for proof generation health.
Why Choose Custom ZK Circuit Design
Generic ZK libraries are for prototypes. Production-grade DeFi requires circuits optimized for your specific logic, security, and cost profile. We deliver custom designs that are auditable, efficient, and battle-tested.
Gas & Fee Optimization
We design circuits to minimize on-chain verification costs. Our custom arithmetic and constraint systems reduce gas fees by 30-60% compared to generic implementations, directly lowering your protocol's operational expenses.
Security-First Architecture
Every circuit undergoes formal verification and peer review using industry-standard tools like Picus and Ecne. We implement multi-party trusted setups and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure your privacy logic has no cryptographic vulnerabilities.
Protocol-Specific Logic
Tailored circuits for DeFi primitives: private swaps, shielded liquidity provisioning, and confidential yield calculations. We encode your exact business rules—not approximations—into efficient ZK-SNARKs or STARKs.
Performance at Scale
Engineered for high throughput. Our circuits enable sub-second proof generation and verification, supporting thousands of transactions per second (TPS) for applications like private order book matching or batch settlements.
Full Development Lifecycle
We handle the entire stack: from circuit design in Circom or Noir, to smart contract integration (Solidity, Cairo), and production deployment with monitoring. You get a complete, auditable ZK module, not just a circuit file.
Regulatory Compliance by Design
Build privacy with accountability. We design circuits that enable selective disclosure and audit trails, allowing you to prove regulatory compliance (like AML) without exposing user data, future-proofing your protocol.

Our Delivery Process
A structured, transparent approach to deliver production-ready ZK circuits that meet strict security and performance requirements for DeFi protocols.
Architecture & Specification
We begin by co-designing the circuit logic with your team, mapping your DeFi business rules into a formal ZK specification. This ensures the proof system aligns perfectly with your protocol's security and privacy goals.
Circuit Design & Implementation
Our engineers implement the specification using industry-standard frameworks like Circom, Halo2, or Noir. We focus on constraint efficiency and optimal prover/verifier performance from day one.
Security Audit & Formal Verification
Every circuit undergoes rigorous review. We conduct internal audits, leverage symbolic execution tools, and can facilitate third-party audits with firms like Trail of Bits to ensure mathematical correctness and soundness.
Performance Optimization
We benchmark and optimize prover time, proof size, and verification gas costs. This phase is critical for DeFi applications requiring sub-second verification or low on-chain fees.
Integration & Testing
We deliver a complete integration package: Solidity verifier contracts, TypeScript/Go prover clients, and comprehensive test suites simulating mainnet conditions to ensure seamless deployment.
Deployment Support
We provide hands-on support for deploying your verifier contract to mainnet or testnet, and offer ongoing consultation for circuit upgrades and maintenance as your protocol evolves.
Technology & Protocol Expertise
Our team brings battle-tested expertise across the core protocols and cryptographic primitives that power modern DeFi. We build on a foundation of secure, audited standards to deliver production-ready zero-knowledge circuits.
DeFi-Specific Circuit Design
Custom circuits for private swaps, shielded liquidity provisioning, and confidential order-book matching. Built with gas efficiency and capital efficiency as primary constraints for real-world use.
Security-First Development
All circuit logic follows formal verification principles where possible and undergoes rigorous audit cycles. We employ Circom and custom constraint systems with comprehensive test coverage against known vulnerabilities.
