overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts for tokens, DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and Solidity 0.8+ best practices, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one.

  • Custom Logic: From ERC-20/ERC-721 to complex DeFi primitives and governance systems.
  • Security-First: Rigorous internal review and formal verification patterns before external audit.
  • Full Lifecycle: Development, testing, deployment, and upgrade management via Transparent Proxies.

Reduce your time-to-market by 6-8 weeks with our battle-tested development framework.

We deliver production-grade code with comprehensive test suites, documentation, and deployment scripts. Our engineers have deployed contracts securing over $500M+ in TVL, handling the complexity so you can focus on product strategy.

Our ZK-SNARK Porting Capabilities

We specialize in porting and optimizing existing ZK-SNARK proving systems to new environments, delivering production-ready, high-performance implementations that accelerate your time-to-market.

01

Circuit Porting & Optimization

Migrate and optimize existing ZK-SNARK circuits (e.g., from Circom, Gnark, or custom R1CS) to new frameworks or languages. We ensure functional equivalence while reducing proving time and verification costs by up to 40%.

THE STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

Why Port a Library Instead of Building from Scratch?

Building a ZK-SNARK library from the ground up is a high-risk, multi-year endeavor. Porting a proven, audited library accelerates your time-to-market while de-risking your core cryptography.

01

Accelerate Time-to-Market

Deploy production-ready ZK circuits in weeks, not years. We port battle-tested libraries like Halo2, Plonky2, or Circom, bypassing years of R&D and cryptographic validation.

Leverage Audited, Secure Code

Start with a foundation that has undergone rigorous security audits (e.g., by Trail of Bits, Least Authority). We maintain the security posture of the original library while adapting it to your tech stack.

Reduce Engineering Risk & Cost

Eliminate the need to hire and retain a team of specialized cryptographers. Our porting service provides a fixed-scope, predictable cost model versus the open-ended expense of foundational R&D.

A STRUCTURED APPROACH

Our Proven Porting Methodology

We follow a rigorous, multi-stage process to ensure your ZK-SNARK library port is secure, performant, and production-ready from day one.

01

Architecture & Feasibility Analysis

We conduct a deep technical audit of your existing ZK circuits and target platform (e.g., EVM, Solana, Starknet). This phase identifies cryptographic compatibility, performance bottlenecks, and establishes a clear porting roadmap.

ZK-SNARK Porting: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, direct answers about our ZK-SNARK library porting process, timelines, and security.

A standard port from a library like libsnark or bellman to a new language or framework typically takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production-ready code. Complex migrations involving custom circuit logic or performance optimization can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the initial scoping call.
