We architect and deploy production-grade Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Our process integrates formal verification and multi-stage audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before deployment.
Enterprise On-Chain Settlement Protocol Design
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from concept to mainnet deployment.
From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your business rules into immutable, gas-optimized code.
- Custom Development: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, bespoke DeFi protocols, and DAO governance systems.
- Security First: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, followed by internal review + third-party audit. - Full Lifecycle: Development, testing (
Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and post-launch monitoring support.
Core Protocol Capabilities We Deliver
We architect on-chain settlement protocols with production-grade reliability, security, and scalability. Each capability is designed to meet the stringent demands of financial institutions and high-volume applications.
Atomic Settlement Engine
Design and implement deterministic settlement with atomic composability across DeFi primitives. Eliminate settlement risk and ensure transaction finality in sub-seconds, even for complex multi-leg trades.
Multi-Chain Liquidity Orchestration
Build bridges and liquidity routers that enable seamless asset movement across EVM and non-EVM chains. Our designs prioritize security-first architecture with continuous fraud-proof monitoring.
Regulatory-Compliant Transaction Framework
Integrate programmable compliance (e.g., travel rule, sanctions screening) directly into the protocol layer using modular smart contracts. Maintain audit trails without compromising on-chain efficiency.
High-Frequency State Management
Engineer state channels and optimistic rollup systems for off-chain computation with on-chain security. Drastically reduce gas costs and latency for payment channels and order book matching.
Institutional-Grade Key Management
Implement MPC (Multi-Party Computation) wallets and smart contract account abstraction to eliminate single points of failure. Supports role-based access controls and automated treasury policies.
Real-Time Risk & Analytics Feed
Embedded oracles and on-chain analytics provide real-time market data, counterparty exposure, and settlement health metrics. Enables proactive risk management and automated circuit breakers.
Business Outcomes for Your Payment Network
Our protocol design delivers measurable improvements to your core financial operations, from settlement speed to compliance overhead.
Sub-Second Settlement
Replace multi-day ACH and wire delays with atomic on-chain settlement in under 1 second, unlocking real-time treasury management and liquidity.
Programmable Compliance
Embed KYC/AML checks and transaction rules directly into the protocol logic, reducing manual review by 70% and ensuring regulatory adherence by design.
Cost-Efficient Operations
Cut intermediary fees and operational overhead by settling directly between counterparties. Achieve predictable, sub-dollar transaction costs at scale.
Capital Efficiency
Eliminate prefunded nostro accounts and reduce float requirements through atomic delivery-vs-payment (DvP) and payment-vs-payment (PvP) settlement.
Auditable Transaction Ledger
Gain a single, immutable source of truth for all transactions. Simplify audits, reconciliation, and reporting with on-chain proof of every payment.
Interoperable Network Design
Connect to existing banking rails, other blockchains, and enterprise systems via secure, audited cross-chain bridges and API gateways.

Our Protocol Development Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to designing and deploying robust on-chain settlement protocols for financial institutions. We deliver production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
Architecture & Design Review
We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your settlement logic, identifying optimal on-chain/off-chain splits, gas optimization strategies, and protocol upgrade paths. This ensures a scalable and maintainable foundation.
Security-First Implementation
Development using Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries, following industry-standard patterns. Every line of code is written with formal verification and audit readiness as a priority from day one.
Rigorous Testing & Simulation
We deploy a multi-layered testing suite: unit tests, integration tests, and fork-testing on mainnet forks. This includes stress testing under volatile market conditions to ensure protocol resilience.
Deployment & Monitoring
Managed deployment to mainnet with comprehensive monitoring dashboards for transaction volume, gas costs, and security events. We provide 24/7 alerting and incident response protocols.
Documentation & Handover
We deliver complete technical documentation, admin guides, and operational runbooks. The final phase includes knowledge transfer sessions with your engineering team for full ownership.
Settlement Protocol Design: Key Questions
Common questions from enterprise teams evaluating custom on-chain settlement protocol development.
We follow a structured 4-phase engagement: 1. Discovery & Design (requirements, architecture, tokenomics), 2. Core Development (smart contracts, off-chain logic, testing), 3. Security & Audit (internal review, external audit coordination), 4. Deployment & Support (mainnet launch, monitoring, documentation). We provide weekly sprint demos and a dedicated technical lead.
