overview
FOUNDATION

Blockchain Infrastructure

Reliable, scalable node infrastructure for production-grade Web3 applications.

We manage the foundational layer so you can focus on building. Our infrastructure provides 99.9% uptime SLAs, multi-region redundancy, and real-time monitoring for EVM, Solana, and Cosmos chains.

  • Managed RPC/API Endpoints: High-performance access with rate limiting and analytics.
  • Archive & Full Nodes: Complete historical data access for indexing and analytics.
  • Validator Services: Secure staking and consensus participation with slashing protection.

Deploy your application on battle-tested infrastructure trusted by fintechs and protocols processing $100M+ in daily volume.

DESIGNED FOR SECURITY & RELIABILITY

Core Components of Our Oracle Incentive Mechanism Design

Our mechanism design ensures your oracle network is robust, attack-resistant, and economically sustainable. We build the foundational logic that guarantees data integrity and honest participation.

01

Staking & Slashing Logic

We implement dynamic staking requirements and automated slashing conditions to disincentivize malicious or lazy node behavior, securing your network's economic layer.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We deliver audit-ready smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Rust (Solana), and Move (Aptos/Sui), implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Sealevel.

  • Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes internal review against common vulnerabilities before external audit.
  • Gas Optimization: We achieve up to 40% gas savings through efficient storage patterns and assembly-level tuning.
  • Full-Scope Delivery: Complete with deployment scripts, upgradeability proxies (Transparent/UUPS), and comprehensive unit/integration tests.

From MVP in 2 weeks to complex DeFi primitives, we build the immutable foundation your application depends on.

Oracle Incentive Design: Key Questions

Essential questions to consider when designing a secure and sustainable oracle system. We help you answer these to build robust, attack-resistant data feeds.

We follow a structured 4-phase approach: 1) Threat Modeling to identify attack vectors, 2) Stakeholder Analysis to align incentives of data providers, consumers, and stakers, 3) Mechanism Design using game theory to model honest vs. malicious behavior, and 4) Simulation & Stress Testing to validate security under extreme market conditions. This ensures a mathematically sound foundation, not just best practices.
