We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that form the core of your protocol. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+ and Rust, implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Anchor to ensure security from day one.
Privacy-Preserving Commodities Trading
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and
Hardhat/Foundrytesting to mainnet deployment and upgrade management viaTransparentorUUPSproxies. - Protocol-Specific Logic: Custom implementations for DeFi (AMMs, lending/borrowing), NFTs (dynamic metadata, staking), DAOs, and enterprise asset tokenization.
- Security-First Process: Every contract undergoes internal review and is structured for seamless integration with leading audit firms.
We deliver contracts that are secure by design, reducing time-to-audit by 40% and mitigating costly post-launch vulnerabilities.
Core Privacy Engineering Capabilities
Our engineering team delivers the cryptographic infrastructure required for compliant, high-volume commodities trading. We focus on verifiable privacy that meets regulatory scrutiny without sacrificing performance.
Business Outcomes for Commodities Traders
Our privacy-preserving trading infrastructure delivers measurable improvements in operational efficiency, risk management, and market access. See the specific outcomes you can expect.
Zero-Knowledge Proof Settlement
Execute and settle high-value trades without revealing counterparty identities or trade sizes. We implement ZK-SNARKs and ZK-STARKs to prove transaction validity while keeping all sensitive data private.
Why it matters: Enables participation from regulated institutions and protects your trading strategies from front-running.
Regulatory-Compliant Audit Trails
Generate immutable, permissioned audit logs for regulators without exposing the full transaction graph. Our selective disclosure mechanisms allow you to prove compliance (e.g., AML, sanctions screening) on a need-to-know basis.
Why it matters: Satisfies KYC/AML requirements for institutional traders while maintaining commercial confidentiality.
Cross-Border Settlement Efficiency
Reduce settlement cycles from T+2 to near-instant (T+0) using atomic swaps and smart contract escrow. Eliminate counterparty risk and free up capital trapped in transit.
Why it matters: Drastically improves capital efficiency and reduces operational costs associated with legacy clearing systems.
Portfolio Confidentiality
Mask your total exposure and position sizes across multiple venues. Our privacy layer aggregates and anonymizes on-chain activity, preventing market inference of your overall strategy.
Why it matters: Protects your firm's market position from competitors and reduces information leakage that impacts pricing.
Secure OTC Desk Integration
Connect your existing OTC trading systems to a private settlement layer. We provide secure APIs and SDKs for seamless integration with legacy platforms like Bloomberg or Refinitiv.
Why it matters: Modernize your workflow without disrupting existing operations or retraining staff.
Proof of Provenance & ESG Compliance
Attest to the origin and environmental footprint of physical commodities (e.g., conflict-free minerals, green aluminum) using verifiable credentials and on-chain certificates.
Why it matters: Meet growing demand for sustainable sourcing and provide auditable proof to downstream customers and investors.
Build vs. Buy: Implementing Trading Privacy

Our Phased Delivery Methodology
We de-risk your privacy-preserving commodities trading platform with a structured, milestone-driven approach. Each phase delivers tangible value and clear progress, ensuring alignment and control from concept to launch.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture
We define your technical and compliance blueprint. This includes selecting the optimal privacy stack (e.g., zk-SNARKs via Aztec, Polygon Nightfall), designing the tokenized asset model, and mapping regulatory requirements for your target jurisdictions.
Phase 2: Core Protocol & Smart Contracts
Development and audit of the foundational smart contracts for asset tokenization, private settlement, and compliance modules. We use OpenZeppelin libraries and conduct internal security reviews before external audit.
Phase 3: Privacy Layer Integration
Implementation of the chosen privacy-preserving protocol. We handle the complex integration of zero-knowledge circuits or trusted execution environments to enable confidential trades and position visibility.
Phase 4: Frontend & API Development
Build the trader-facing UI/UX and secure backend APIs. Features include real-time private order books, portfolio dashboards with selective disclosure, and integration with custody solutions.
Phase 5: Security Audit & Testnet Deployment
Formal audit by a leading security firm (e.g., Quantstamp, CertiK) and comprehensive deployment to a public testnet. We conduct penetration testing and simulate full trading cycles with real-world data.
Phase 6: Mainnet Launch & Support
Managed go-live on your chosen Ethereum L2 or mainnet. We provide 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and performance optimization for the first 30 days to ensure a smooth production launch.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your decentralized application.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that are audit-ready from day one. Our development process integrates security-first patterns from OpenZeppelin and Solmate to mitigate risks before the first line of code is written.
Deliver a secure, functional MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks with our accelerated development framework.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andSPLimplementations with advanced features like vesting, staking, and governance. - DeFi & NFT Logic: Build DEXs, lending protocols, NFT marketplaces, and launchpads with gas-optimized, battle-tested code.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and development through to third-party audits, mainnet deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
