We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your protocol. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits before deployment to mainnet.
Institutional Cross-Chain Custody Bridge
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production by Web3-native engineers.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, supply chain tracking, and verifiable credential systems.
We deliver production-ready contracts in 2-4 weeks, with comprehensive documentation and a 99.9% test coverage guarantee.
Our engineers stay current with the latest EVM standards and optimization techniques, ensuring your contracts are gas-efficient and future-proof against protocol upgrades.
Core Infrastructure Components
Our institutional custody bridge is built on a modular, audited stack designed for security, compliance, and high-volume operations. Each component is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of financial institutions.
Business Outcomes for Custodians
Our institutional-grade bridge delivers measurable improvements to your custody operations, from security to revenue. Here’s what you can expect.
Expand Asset Coverage
Support 50+ native assets across 15+ EVM and non-EVM chains (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos) from a single, unified custody interface. Eliminate the need for multiple, fragmented vault solutions.
Reduce Settlement Risk
Atomic cross-chain settlements with sub-2 minute finality, backed by MPC-based key management and zero-trust relayers. Eliminate counterparty risk and failed transaction exposure.
Lower Operational Costs
Cut infrastructure overhead by 60%+ by consolidating multi-chain operations. Our managed bridge service handles node maintenance, gas optimization, and protocol upgrades.
Generate New Revenue Streams
Enable staking, lending, and DeFi participation for your clients' cross-chain assets directly from custody. Earn fees on yield-generating activities without moving assets from cold storage.
Achieve Regulatory Compliance
Built-in transaction monitoring, AML screening, and comprehensive audit trails for all cross-chain movements. SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure with role-based access controls.
Accelerate Time-to-Market
Go live in under 4 weeks with our white-label bridge solution. Includes custom integration, security review, and dedicated technical support for your engineering team.

Custom Blockchain Development
End-to-end development of secure, scalable blockchain networks and decentralized applications.
We architect and deploy custom blockchain solutions from the ground up. Our full-cycle development delivers production-ready networks and enterprise-grade dApps in 6-12 weeks, with 99.9% uptime SLAs.
- Layer 1 & 2 Networks: Build bespoke chains using
Substrate,Cosmos SDK, or rollup frameworks likeArbitrum Orbit. - Smart Contract Suites: Secure, audited contracts in
Solidity,Rust, orMovefor DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. - Full-Stack dApps: Complete front-end (
React/Next.js) and back-end (Node.js,The Graph) integration. - DevOps & Tooling: Automated CI/CD, monitoring with
Prometheus/Grafana, and multi-cloud deployment.
We don't just write code; we deliver audited, mainnet-ready systems with documented runbooks for your team.
Our Delivery Methodology
A structured, security-first approach to delivering institutional-grade cross-chain custody bridges, ensuring predictable timelines, audited security, and seamless integration.
Architecture & Security Design
We begin with a comprehensive threat model and architecture review, designing your bridge with MPC/TSS custody, multi-sig governance, and zero-trust principles. This foundational phase ensures regulatory compliance and institutional security standards from day one.
Smart Contract Development & Auditing
Our engineers develop modular, upgradeable bridge contracts in Solidity/Rust, adhering to OpenZeppelin standards. Every line of code undergoes internal review followed by a mandatory audit from a top-tier firm like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp before deployment.
Relayer & Validator Network Setup
We deploy and configure a decentralized network of geographically distributed relayers and validators. The setup includes monitoring, alerting, and automated failover procedures to guarantee high availability and sub-5-second finality for cross-chain messages.
Integration & Go-Live
Our team handles full integration with your existing custody solution and front-end, providing comprehensive documentation and developer support. We manage the mainnet deployment process end-to-end, including final security checks and liquidity initialization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from CTOs and security leads evaluating our enterprise-grade bridge solution.
A standard deployment for a custom, audited cross-chain custody bridge takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for architecture design and smart contract development, 3 weeks for security audits and penetration testing, and 2-3 weeks for integration, testing, and deployment. We provide a detailed project plan during the discovery phase.
