StarkNet Cairo ZK-Rollup for Bonds
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and scalable foundation for your decentralized application.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial concept and
Solidity/Rustcoding to deployment onMainnetand post-launch monitoring. - Security by Default: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, formal verification, and rigorous internal testing to mitigate exploits. - Business Logic Integration: Custom contracts for
DeFiprotocols,NFTcollections, DAOs, and enterprise tokenization.
Core Technical Capabilities We Deliver
We build institutional-grade, production-ready StarkNet applications for bond issuance and trading, delivering the security of Ethereum with the scalability of ZK-Rollups.
StarkNet Smart Contract Development
Custom Cairo 1.0 smart contracts for bond tokenization, automated coupon payments, and settlement logic. Built with OpenZeppelin libraries and gas optimization patterns for predictable transaction costs.
ZK-Rollup Infrastructure & Deployment
End-to-end StarkNet sequencer and prover infrastructure management. We handle node operation, state synchronization, and L1-L2 bridging to ensure 99.9% uptime for your bond trading platform.
Security Audits & Formal Verification
Comprehensive smart contract audits and formal verification using tools like the Cairo verifier. Our code undergoes internal review and third-party audit processes before mainnet deployment.
Custom Bond Protocol Logic
Implementation of complex financial primitives: yield accrual, maturity scheduling, secondary market trading pools, and regulatory-compliant transfer restrictions (ERC-1400/1404 patterns).
Performance Optimization & Scaling
Protocol tuning for high-throughput bond issuance and trading. We optimize proof generation times and transaction batching to support thousands of transactions per second.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our StarkNet Cairo ZK-Rollup development delivers concrete, measurable results for bond issuance and trading platforms. We focus on the technical outcomes that directly impact your bottom line and operational efficiency.
Reduced Transaction Costs
Move bond issuance and settlement off-chain with StarkNet's ZK-Rollup, slashing gas fees by 90-99% compared to Ethereum L1. This makes micro-transactions and high-frequency trading economically viable.
Institutional-Grade Security
Leverage Cairo's provable correctness and StarkNet's validity proofs. Every transaction is cryptographically verified on Ethereum L1, inheriting its security without its performance constraints.
Sub-Second Finality
Achieve near-instant trade confirmation and settlement for your bond platform. StarkNet's high throughput eliminates the minutes-long delays of traditional finance and legacy blockchains.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Build with embedded compliance logic using Cairo's account abstraction. Implement KYC/AML checks, investor whitelists, and trading limits directly in the protocol layer.
Scalable Liquidity Infrastructure
Deploy automated market makers (AMMs) or order book DEXs that can handle institutional bond trading volumes without congestion or prohibitive costs, enabling deeper liquidity pools.
Faster Time-to-Market
Accelerate your launch with our battle-tested Cairo smart contract templates for bonds (ERC-3475/3525), custody, and settlement, reducing development cycles from months to weeks.

Our Development & Delivery Process
A systematic, transparent approach to building secure, high-performance ZK-Rollup applications for capital markets. We deliver production-ready solutions on schedule.
Architecture & Design
We design a scalable StarkNet Cairo architecture tailored for bond issuance, trading, and settlement. This includes defining the L1/L2 bridge strategy, data availability layer, and fee tokenomics.
Cairo Smart Contract Development
Our certified Cairo developers write and test core logic for bond tokenization, order books, and automated settlements. We implement battle-tested security patterns and gas optimization techniques.
Security Audit & Formal Verification
Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review followed by an external audit with partners like Nethermind. We provide formal verification reports for critical financial logic.
Integration & Deployment
We handle the full deployment pipeline: setting up sequencers, provers, and RPC nodes. We integrate with your existing systems (KYC/AML, custodians) and front-end applications.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Post-launch, we provide 24/7 monitoring of chain state, sequencer health, and bridge security. Includes performance dashboards and alerting for anomalous activity.
Documentation & Handoff
We deliver comprehensive technical documentation, operational runbooks, and provide knowledge transfer sessions to your engineering team for full ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from CTOs and technical founders about building ZK-rollup bond protocols on StarkNet.
From specification to mainnet launch, a standard bond issuance and management protocol takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and smart contract design, 3-4 weeks for Cairo development and internal testing, 1-2 weeks for a third-party security audit, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration. Complex features like multi-currency settlement or cross-chain interoperability can extend the timeline.
