Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from CTOs and founders about implementing privacy-first, on-chain royalty infrastructure.
A standard deployment takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for smart contract development and audit, 1 week for the custom ZK-circuit design, 2 weeks for integration and testing, and 1 week for deployment and final verification. Complex integrations with existing NFT marketplaces or multi-chain setups may extend this by 1-2 weeks.
