Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on deployment, security, and integration for your high-volume payment network.
Standard deployment for a production-ready, audited network takes 4-6 weeks. This includes architecture design, smart contract development on Solidity 0.8+, comprehensive security audits, and integration with your existing treasury or custody solution. For more complex multi-chain or cross-chain setups, timelines extend to 8-12 weeks.
