overview

CORE SERVICES

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for speed, security, and scale.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the unbreakable backbone of your dApp. Our development process is built for enterprise-grade security and rapid time-to-market.

Security-First Development: Code written in Solidity 0.8+ using OpenZeppelin libraries, followed by rigorous audits with tools like Slither and MythX.
Protocol-Specific Expertise: From ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 NFTs to complex DeFi primitives like AMMs, lending pools, and governance systems.
Full Development Lifecycle: We handle everything from initial architecture and gas optimization to deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana.

Deliver a secure, audited, and fully functional smart contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Our focus is on delivering tangible business logic that works flawlessly in production. We provide:

Comprehensive Documentation & Testing: Full test suites with Hardhat or Foundry achieving >95% coverage.
Post-Deployment Support: Upgradeability patterns, monitoring, and incident response planning.
Clear Deliverables: Source code, audit reports, deployment scripts, and a handover session with your team.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Governance Security Assessment Methodology

Our systematic approach combines automated analysis with expert manual review to identify critical vulnerabilities in your governance and DAO contracts, ensuring they are resilient against both technical exploits and governance attacks.

Architecture & Design Review

We analyze your governance model's core logic, upgrade mechanisms, and access controls against established patterns to prevent centralization risks and logic flaws.

We don't just write code; we deliver a complete, audited, and operational blockchain product that scales with your user base from day one.

Technical Due Diligence

Governance Security Assessment FAQs

Answers to common questions about our process, timeline, and deliverables for securing DAO and governance protocols.

We employ a hybrid methodology combining manual expert review with automated analysis. Our process includes: 1) Architecture Review of governance flow and privilege escalation risks, 2) Smart Contract Audit focusing on voting logic, timelocks, and treasury management, 3) Economic Security Analysis of proposal incentives and attack vectors, and 4) Operational Review of multisig setups and admin key management. This approach is based on our experience securing over $500M+ in DAO-managed assets.
