CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries, formal verification, and multi-stage audits to ensure your logic is bulletproof before mainnet deployment.

  • Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom implementations.
  • DeFi Protocols: DEXs, lending/borrowing pools, staking, and yield aggregators.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, DAO governance, and asset tokenization.
  • Full Lifecycle: From specification and Solidity 0.8+ development to testing, deployment, and on-chain monitoring.

We deliver audit-ready code in 2-4 weeks, with a proven track record of zero critical vulnerabilities in production. Our contracts are optimized for gas efficiency and designed for future upgrades.

BUILT FOR SCALE AND COMPLIANCE

Core Technical Capabilities

Our NFT royalty mechanism design is engineered from the ground up for enterprise-grade performance, security, and seamless integration. We deliver production-ready systems that handle high-volume transactions while ensuring creator payments are immutable and transparent.

01

Custom Royalty Smart Contracts

We architect and deploy secure, gas-optimized royalty contracts on your chosen chain (EVM, Solana, etc.). Built with OpenZeppelin standards, our contracts support complex logic like split payments, time-based tiers, and on-chain enforcement.

On-Chain Enforcement & Tracking

Implement robust, tamper-proof royalty enforcement directly in the contract logic. We build real-time dashboards and APIs to track all secondary sales, payment distributions, and revenue analytics across marketplaces.

03

Multi-Tier & Dynamic Royalty Models

Go beyond flat rates. We design sophisticated models: decaying royalties over time, volume-based tiers, exclusive content unlocks, and programmable splits that automatically distribute funds to creators, co-creators, and DAOs.

Cross-Marketplace Compatibility

Ensure your royalty mechanism works seamlessly across major (OpenSea, Blur, Magic Eden) and bespoke marketplaces. We handle the integration complexity, including EIP-2981 support and custom adapter layers for proprietary platforms.

MEASURABLE RESULTS

Business Outcomes of a Custom Royalty System

A purpose-built royalty mechanism is more than a technical feature; it's a strategic revenue engine. We design systems that deliver tangible financial and operational advantages.

01

Predictable, Automated Revenue Streams

We implement on-chain, immutable royalty logic that automatically collects and distributes fees on every secondary sale. This eliminates manual tracking, reduces leakage, and provides a reliable, forecastable income source for your project.

Enhanced Creator & Collector Loyalty

A fair, transparent, and flexible royalty model builds trust. We design systems that allow for tiered creator splits, reward loyal collectors, and enable programmable incentives, directly increasing community engagement and long-term holder retention.

Competitive Market Differentiation

Stand out in a crowded market with advanced features like dynamic royalties based on holding period, upgradeable logic for future-proofing, and seamless integration with major marketplaces (OpenSea, Blur). This attracts premium projects and discerning collectors.

Future-Proof Protocol Architecture

We build with upgradeability and interoperability in mind using proxy patterns and modular design. This allows you to adapt royalty rules for new market standards (ERC-7512), chain expansions, or business model pivots without costly migrations.
