Non-Custodial Card Solution Architecture

We architect and build end-to-end systems for crypto-backed debit cards where users retain sole custody of assets, using smart accounts and secure MPC protocols to authorize spends.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise applications. Our development process ensures security-first code with comprehensive audits, delivering contracts that are reliable from day one.

  • From Concept to Mainnet: Full-cycle development including specification, implementation, testing, and deployment.
  • Built on Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom logic using Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries.
  • Security Guarantee: Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and is prepared for third-party audits.

Reduce your time-to-market with battle-tested patterns and avoid costly vulnerabilities. We deliver contracts that are ready for high-value transactions and user trust.

STRUCTURED FOR SPEED AND SECURITY

Our End-to-End Delivery Process

From initial design to production deployment, our proven 4-phase framework ensures your non-custodial card solution is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest security standards.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Design

We define the technical blueprint, including smart contract architecture (ERC-4337 for account abstraction), MPC key management design, and integration points with payment rails. This phase establishes the security model and project roadmap.
