We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and includes formal verification for critical functions.
Validator Client SDK for L2s
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a secure, audited MVP in 2-4 weeks with a clear path to mainnet deployment.
- Security-First Development: Rigorous testing with
Foundry/Hardhat, pre-audit reviews, and gas optimization. - Full-Stack Integration: Contracts designed to work seamlessly with your frontend, oracles (
Chainlink), and wallets. - Ongoing Support: Post-deployment monitoring, upgradeability patterns, and incident response.
Core SDK Capabilities
Our Validator Client SDK provides the foundational tooling for L2s to build, secure, and scale their consensus layer. Engineered for production, it delivers the reliability and performance required for mainnet deployment.
High-Availability & Failover
Built-in support for active-active redundancy, automated failover, and load-balanced validator deployments. Ensures continuous block proposal and attestation even during node or data center outages.
Governance & Upgrade Management
Tooling for seamless protocol upgrades, including hard fork coordination, client version management, and governance parameter voting. Supports both on-chain and off-chain signaling mechanisms.
Custom Consensus Integration
SDK extensions for integrating custom fraud proofs, data availability layers, or novel consensus mechanisms (e.g., proof-of-stake, proof-of-authority). We adapt the client to your L2's specific security model.
Why Partner for Your Validator SDK
Building a secure, high-performance validator client is a critical path to mainnet. We deliver the battle-tested SDK that accelerates your L2's launch and ensures long-term reliability.
Accelerated Time-to-Mainnet
Skip 12+ months of R&D. We provide a fully integrated SDK with consensus, execution, and P2P layers, enabling your team to focus on application logic and go live in weeks, not years.
Performance-Optimized for L2s
Engineered for high-throughput environments. Our SDK includes custom state management, optimized signature aggregation, and low-latency gossip subprotocols to maximize your chain's TPS.
Multi-Client Resilience
Avoid single-client risk. Our modular architecture supports easy integration of alternative execution clients (Geth, Erigon, Nethermind), ensuring network stability and censorship resistance.
Dedicated Engineering Support
Get direct access to our core protocol engineers. We provide integration support, performance tuning, and on-call incident response to ensure your validators operate flawlessly.

Our Development Methodology
Our systematic approach ensures your validator client SDK is built for reliability, security, and seamless integration from day one.
Architecture & Protocol Analysis
We begin with a deep dive into your L2's consensus mechanism and node architecture. We map out the exact validator lifecycle—from block proposal to attestation—to design an SDK that integrates natively with your stack.
Core SDK Development
We build the core client logic in Rust or Go, implementing critical functions like block validation, slashing protection, and state management. Every module is built with deterministic testing and comprehensive logging.
Security & Audit Integration
Security is foundational. We integrate formal verification for critical consensus logic, implement fuzz testing for network handlers, and prepare the codebase for external audits by firms like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp.
Performance Benchmarking
We rigorously benchmark the SDK under simulated mainnet conditions—testing validator uptime, resource consumption, and synchronization speed. We provide detailed performance reports against industry baselines.
Deployment & Ongoing Support
We manage the deployment to your staging and production environments, including monitoring setup with Prometheus/Grafana dashboards. We offer ongoing support with defined SLAs for incident response and protocol upgrades.
Validator SDK Development FAQ
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and engineering leads ask when evaluating a custom validator client SDK.
Our engagement follows a structured 4-phase process with clear deliverables. Discovery & Design (1 week): We analyze your L2's consensus mechanism and define SDK architecture. Core Development (2-3 weeks): We build the validator client with key features like block proposal, attestation, and slashing protection. Integration & Testing (1-2 weeks): We integrate with your chain, conduct security audits, and run extensive testnet simulations. Deployment & Handoff (1 week): We assist with mainnet deployment and provide comprehensive documentation. Total timeline is typically 5-7 weeks for a production-ready SDK.
