- Security-First Approach: All code follows
OpenZeppelinstandards and undergoes rigorous internal review before third-party audits. - Proven Patterns: We implement battle-tested architectures for
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom logic to prevent costly exploits.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and scalable foundation for your Web3 product in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.
Core Capabilities of Our Bridge API Gateway
Our API gateway abstracts the complexity of cross-chain interoperability, providing a single, reliable interface for secure and efficient asset transfers. We deliver the foundational infrastructure so your team can focus on building.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
Design supports integration with AML/KYC providers and maintains detailed, immutable logs for regulatory reporting. Role-based access control (RBAC) and SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure.
Business Outcomes: Why a Custom Bridge API Accelerates Growth
A purpose-built Cross-Chain Bridge API Gateway delivers measurable business results by eliminating infrastructure complexity and unlocking new revenue streams.
Monetize Cross-Chain Activity
Deploy a branded, white-label bridge to capture transaction fees and user data. We build custom fee structures and analytics dashboards, turning infrastructure into a direct revenue channel.
Reduce Time-to-Market by 70%
Leverage our battle-tested bridge modules for EVM, Solana, and Cosmos chains. We deliver a production-ready API gateway in weeks, not months, allowing you to seize market opportunities faster.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Uptime
Our gateways are built with formal verification patterns and multi-signature relayers. We provide a 99.9% uptime SLA and comprehensive monitoring to protect your users' assets and your brand reputation.
Seamless User Experience
Integrate a single API endpoint for all cross-chain actions. We handle gas estimation, slippage, and transaction status, providing your users with a simple, intuitive bridging flow that reduces drop-off.
Future-Proof Architecture
Our modular design supports easy integration of new chains (EVM, non-EVM, L2s) and bridge types (liquidity, mint/burn). Scale your cross-chain capabilities without costly re-architecture.
Own Your Infrastructure
Avoid vendor lock-in and opaque third-party fees. We deliver a fully audited, self-hosted solution where you control the smart contracts, relayers, and user data, ensuring long-term operational sovereignty.
Build vs. Buy vs. Our Custom API Gateway
A technical and financial comparison of approaches for integrating cross-chain liquidity. Our custom gateway offers the control of in-house development with the speed and security of a managed service.

Our Development Process: From Architecture to Production
A proven, phased approach to delivering secure, scalable, and production-ready cross-chain infrastructure. We manage the entire lifecycle, from initial design to ongoing maintenance, ensuring your bridge API gateway meets enterprise standards.
1. Architecture & Protocol Design
We define the optimal bridge architecture (lock-and-mint, burn-and-mint, liquidity pools) and select core protocols (Axelar, LayerZero, Wormhole) based on your security, cost, and speed requirements. This phase establishes the technical foundation and threat model.
2. Smart Contract Development & Auditing
Our engineers write secure, gas-optimized Solidity/Vyper contracts for asset custody, messaging, and governance. All code undergoes internal review followed by a formal audit from a top-tier firm like Quantstamp or CertiK before deployment.
3. Relayer & API Gateway Build
We develop the off-chain relayer service and the primary REST/WebSocket API gateway. This includes transaction monitoring, event listening, proof generation, and a developer-friendly API with rate limiting, authentication, and comprehensive documentation.
4. Staging & Security Testing
The complete system is deployed to a staging environment mirroring production. We execute rigorous integration tests, load tests simulating 1000+ TPS, and security penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
5. Mainnet Deployment & Monitoring
We manage the phased mainnet rollout, including contract deployment, relayer infrastructure provisioning on AWS/GCP, and integration of monitoring tools (Datadog, Sentry). Real-time dashboards track health, volume, and security events.
6. Ongoing Support & Optimization
Post-launch, we provide ongoing maintenance, including performance tuning, gas cost optimization, and protocol upgrades. We offer SLAs for incident response and regular health reports to ensure long-term reliability.
