CORE SERVICE
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic and audited for deployment.
- From Specification to Deployment: We translate your business requirements into optimized
Solidity 0.8+orRustcode, following OpenZeppelin standards and secure design patterns. - Comprehensive Security First: Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and is prepared for formal audits by leading firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
- Gas Optimization & Testing: We ensure cost-efficient execution with gas profiling and provide a full suite of unit and integration tests using Hardhat or Foundry.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and performant smart contract system in 4-6 weeks, reducing your technical risk and accelerating your path to launch.

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Migration Methodology
A structured, zero-downtime approach to validator set migration, developed from managing over $1B in staked assets. We ensure your network's security and performance are never compromised.
01
Pre-Migration Security Audit
Comprehensive analysis of your current validator setup, smart contracts, and consensus logic to identify risks before migration begins. We deliver a detailed report with actionable remediation steps.

Report Delivery
02
Phased Rollout Strategy
Execute migration in controlled phases (e.g., 25%, 50%, 100%) with real-time monitoring at each stage. This minimizes risk and allows for immediate rollback if anomalies are detected.

Validator Migration FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and our proven methodology for migrating your validator set with zero downtime.
Our standard migration process takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production cutover. This includes 1 week for architecture review and planning, 1-2 weeks for implementation and testing, and a final week for the phased, monitored production migration. For complex, multi-chain setups, timelines are scoped individually during discovery.
