overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage audit process, including automated analysis, manual review, and formal verification for critical logic.

Deliver a market-ready product in 2-4 weeks with our battle-tested development framework, reducing your time-to-market by 70%.

  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and OpenZeppelin integration to deployment on EVM/Solana and post-launch monitoring.
  • Compliance-Ready: Built-in patterns for ERC-20, ERC-721, and custom standards with upgradeability via transparent proxies.
  • Gas Optimization: Contracts are optimized for minimum execution cost, saving end-users up to 40% on transaction fees.

Why Indie Author Collectives Choose Our DAO Setup

We build publishing DAOs that solve the specific operational, financial, and creative challenges faced by independent author collectives. Our focus is on delivering tangible outcomes, not just deploying technology.

01

Transparent Royalty & Revenue Splits

Automated, on-chain distribution of royalties, subscription fees, and secondary sales using custom splitter contracts. Eliminates manual accounting disputes and ensures authors are paid instantly and fairly.

DAO Publishing Collective FAQs

Common questions from CTOs and founders about launching a DAO-governed publishing platform.

A standard deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes smart contract development, frontend integration, and initial governance setup. Complex features like custom tokenomics or multi-chain publishing can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones.
