overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 application. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a production-ready MVP in as little as 2 weeks.

  • Security-First Development: All contracts are built with Solidity 0.8+ and audited using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard patterns.
  • Protocol Expertise: We develop for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom standards for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and development through to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance on your chosen network (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.).

We don't just write code; we deliver audit-ready, gas-optimized contracts that power your business logic with 99.9% reliability.

Our deliverables include comprehensive documentation, deployment scripts, and a detailed security review report to ensure your contracts are robust and maintainable from day one.

Blockchain Infrastructure

Reliable, scalable node infrastructure and RPC services for production applications.

We operate high-performance, globally distributed nodes for major networks like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our infrastructure delivers 99.9% uptime SLAs, sub-second response times, and enterprise-grade security to power your dApps.

Deploy with confidence. We handle the complexity so you can focus on your product.

Our managed services include:

  • Dedicated Full/Archive Nodes: For maximum performance and data access.
  • Enhanced RPC APIs: With rate limiting, analytics, and WebSocket support.
  • Real-time Monitoring & Alerts: Proactive health checks and incident response.
  • Multi-region Deployment: Reduce latency and ensure redundancy.

We provide the foundational layer for wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms. Get started with a production-ready endpoint in minutes, not weeks.

Institutional Cross-Chain Settlement

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from CTOs and technical leaders about designing and deploying secure, high-throughput cross-chain settlement networks.

Our standard engagement follows a 4-phase process: Discovery & Architecture (1-2 weeks), Core Development (2-4 weeks), Security Audit & Testing (1-2 weeks), and Production Deployment (1 week). For a typical multi-chain settlement hub connecting 2-3 major EVM chains, the total timeline is 6-9 weeks. Complex integrations with non-EVM chains or custom consensus mechanisms may extend this. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial discovery phase.
