overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our code is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes rigorous security audits before mainnet deployment.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with custom minting, vesting, and governance.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, and yield aggregators.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, and compliant asset management.

Deliver a fully audited, gas-optimized contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for your custom blockchain explorer project.

A standard, production-ready explorer for a Substrate-based chain typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes design, core development, indexer integration, and security hardening. For more complex requirements like multi-chain views or advanced analytics dashboards, timelines extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
