ENGINEERED FOR SCALE
Core Architectural Capabilities
Our upgradeable staking pool architecture is built on battle-tested patterns, delivering enterprise-grade security, seamless evolution, and predictable costs. We focus on the technical foundation so you can focus on your product.
01
Transparent Upgradeability
Implement the Proxy Pattern (EIP-1967) with a dedicated admin contract, enabling logic upgrades without migrating user funds or state. Includes a 48-hour timelock for all governance-controlled upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, security, and delivery for enterprise-grade staking pool development.
A standard, audited upgradeable staking pool with core features (staking, rewards, slashing) typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. Complex integrations (e.g., multi-asset staking, custom reward distribution logic) can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial scoping call.
