Core Features of Our Staking Bridge API
Our Substrate-based Staking Bridge API is engineered for reliability and scale, providing the foundational infrastructure for secure cross-chain staking operations.
01
Non-Custodial Security Architecture
Your users' assets remain in their control. We implement multi-signature MPC vaults and battle-tested relayers, ensuring funds are never at centralized risk. Every component is built with OpenZeppelin and Substrate's FRAME pallet security patterns.

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Delivery Methodology
Our systematic approach to building Substrate-based staking bridges ensures predictable delivery, enterprise-grade security, and seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
01
Architecture & Design Review
We begin with a collaborative deep-dive into your cross-chain requirements, designing a bridge architecture optimized for security, cost, and finality. This includes selecting the optimal Substrate pallets and defining the economic security model for your validators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and support for your custom staking bridge development.
We deliver production-ready staking bridges in 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff. The timeline depends on complexity: a standard bridge connecting to a single EVM chain takes 6-8 weeks, while multi-chain bridges with custom slashing logic or governance modules require 10-12 weeks. We follow a phased approach with weekly demos to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
