overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect, develop, and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Our process includes formal verification and comprehensive audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, and enterprise-grade applications.
  • Security First: Adhere to OpenZeppelin standards and undergo third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: Write efficient code to reduce transaction costs by up to 40% for your users.
  • Full Lifecycle: From ideation and testing to mainnet deployment and ongoing maintenance.

Deploy battle-tested contracts in as little as 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical functions.

PREDICTABLE & TRANSPARENT

Our Delivery Process

A structured, four-phase methodology designed for technical leaders. We deliver fully integrated ZK-Rollup upgrades with clear milestones, zero surprises, and guaranteed outcomes.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Audit

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing dApp and L1 contracts, then design a custom ZK-Rollup integration blueprint. This includes selecting the optimal proof system (zkSync, StarkNet, Polygon zkEVM) and defining the data availability layer.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration

Our team refactors and redeploys your core logic as verifiable ZK circuits and L2-compatible smart contracts. We ensure state consistency, implement secure bridging mechanisms, and optimize for L2 gas efficiency.

Technical & Commercial Details

ZK-Rollup Upgrade Integration FAQs

Get clear answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating a ZK-Rollup upgrade partner. We focus on timelines, security, and measurable outcomes.

A standard upgrade from an existing L1 or optimistic rollup to a ZK-Rollup takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture review, 2-4 weeks for core development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for testing, security review, and deployment. Complex protocols with custom circuits or novel state transitions may extend this timeline, which we define in a fixed-scope proposal.
