CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Vyper, and Rust, using OpenZeppelin libraries and formal verification for security.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers, lending/borrowing pools, and yield optimizers.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, and cross-chain asset bridges.

Every contract undergoes rigorous audits and test coverage exceeding 95% before mainnet deployment, ensuring reliability from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for your cross-chain bridge project.

We deliver production-ready ZK bridges in 4-8 weeks, depending on the number of supported chains and custom logic. A standard two-way bridge between Ethereum and a single L2 (e.g., Arbitrum) typically takes 4-5 weeks. This includes design, development, security audits, and testnet deployment.
