overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and full audit readiness.

  • DeFi Protocols: DEXs, lending/borrowing, yield aggregators, and liquidity management.
  • Token Standards: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and multi-chain implementations.
  • Enterprise Logic: Automated workflows, asset tokenization, and verifiable on-chain records.

Deliver a battle-tested MVP in 2-4 weeks, backed by comprehensive documentation and a clear path to mainnet deployment.

A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH

Our Assessment Methodology

Our proprietary, multi-layered framework delivers a comprehensive risk profile, moving beyond simple pass/fail to provide actionable intelligence for validator security.

01

Protocol & Client Analysis

We conduct a deep-dive audit of your validator's execution and consensus client configurations, network connectivity, and MEV-boost relay selection to identify systemic vulnerabilities.

Client Configs Audited
100%
Relay Set Coverage
02

Historical Performance Audit

We analyze 30+ days of on-chain performance data—including attestation efficiency, block proposal history, and slashing event proximity—to establish a behavioral baseline.

Blocks Scanned
03

Simulated Attack Vectors

Using custom tooling, we simulate real-world MEV extraction and soft-slashing scenarios (e.g., proposer timing attacks, relay failures) to stress-test your validator's resilience.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built for production by expert Solidity engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built for security and scalability from day one.

  • Production-ready code: Built with Solidity 0.8+, Hardhat, and audited OpenZeppelin libraries.
  • Full audit support: Includes comprehensive testing, formal verification, and preparation for third-party audits.
  • Gas optimization: We minimize transaction costs, targeting up to 40% gas reduction on critical functions.

We deliver battle-tested contracts that handle real value, ensuring your protocol's logic is both powerful and secure.

Our engineers specialize in:

  • DeFi Primitives: Custom AMMs, lending pools, staking mechanisms, and yield aggregators.
  • NFT Ecosystems: ERC-721A, ERC-1155 with advanced minting, royalties, and metadata management.
  • Cross-Chain & Layer 2: Native development for Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Base.
Validator MEV Risk Assessment

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers about our methodology, timeline, and the value of a professional MEV soft-slashing risk assessment for your validator operations.

A comprehensive assessment for a single validator client or cluster is typically delivered within 5-7 business days. This includes data collection, analysis of historical performance, simulation of attack vectors, and report generation. For large-scale operators with multiple setups, timelines scale proportionally and are defined upfront.
