Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our implementation process, security, and support for your custom blockchain.
A standard implementation takes 8-12 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for architecture design, 4-5 weeks for core development and ZK circuit integration, 2 weeks for internal security audits, and 2-3 weeks for testnet deployment and final client review. Complex custom logic or extensive bridge integrations can extend this timeline, which we scope and agree upon upfront.
