LST Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) Design

We architect and audit secure, overcollateralized lending systems specifically engineered for liquid staking tokens (LSTs), featuring dynamic risk parameters, health factor calculations, and liquidation mechanisms tailored to LST volatility.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and comprehensive testing before mainnet deployment.

  • Protocols & Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom logic.
  • Security: Formal verification, OpenZeppelin libraries, and multi-stage audits.
  • Delivery: Full suite including source code, deployment scripts, and technical documentation.

Reduce your time-to-market with battle-tested contracts that power real-world value, from token launches to complex DeFi primitives.

Technical & Commercial Insights

LST CDP Design: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for building robust Liquid Staking Token Collateralized Debt Position protocols.

A complete, production-ready LST CDP protocol typically takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and smart contract design, 3-4 weeks for core development and internal testing, 2 weeks for a comprehensive security audit, and 1-2 weeks for final integration and deployment. For simpler integrations or forks of audited code, timelines can be as short as 3-4 weeks.
