overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built for production from day one.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that are secure, gas-optimized, and ready for mainnet. Our development process is built for enterprise-grade reliability and includes comprehensive unit and integration testing.

From token standards to complex DeFi logic, we deliver contracts that are battle-tested and production-ready.

  • Security-First Development: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries and hardened security patterns, followed by third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Contracts are delivered with TypeScript SDKs, subgraph schemas, and frontend hooks for seamless integration.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, gas cost reductions up to 40%, and mainnet deployment in 2-4 weeks.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE INFRASTRUCTURE

Core Capabilities of Your Hedera Payment Layer

We architect and deploy robust payment systems on Hedera Consensus Service, delivering the speed, finality, and cost predictability required for high-volume financial applications.

01

Sub-Second Finality & High Throughput

Leverage Hedera's hashgraph consensus for deterministic, near-instant transaction finality (<5 seconds). Our architecture supports thousands of transactions per second (TPS) to scale with your payment volume.

02

Predictable, Ultra-Low Transaction Fees

Eliminate gas fee volatility. Hedera's fixed, predictable fee schedule (typically $0.0001 USD per transaction) enables precise cost forecasting for your payment operations and end-users.
