SECURE FOUNDATION
Custom Smart Contract Development
Build secure, gas-optimized smart contracts tailored to your specific business logic.
- Custom Logic: From
ERC-20tokens andERC-721NFTs to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance systems. - Security & Audits: Built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries and undergo rigorous internal review, with optional third-party audit coordination. - Gas Optimization: Every line of
Soliditycode is optimized for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40%. - Full Lifecycle: Development, testing (
Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and upgradeability planning using transparent proxy patterns.
Deploy a secure, audited smart contract suite in as little as 2-3 weeks, giving you a battle-tested foundation to build upon.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Development & Security Methodology
We deliver secure, high-performance StarkNet applications through a rigorous, multi-layered process designed for financial-grade reliability.
01
Architecture & Design Review
We begin with a comprehensive technical design document (TDD) outlining the Cairo smart contract architecture, state model, and integration points. This ensures your dark pool's logic is sound, scalable, and aligned with StarkNet's unique capabilities before a single line of code is written.

Multi-Stage Security Audits
Every contract undergoes internal review, automated analysis with Slither for Cairo, and a formal audit by a leading third-party firm. We focus on financial logic correctness, front-running resistance, and StarkNet-specific vulnerabilities.
