overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit trails to mitigate risk.

  • From Concept to Mainnet: Full lifecycle support from initial design and Solidity/Rust development to deployment and monitoring on Ethereum, Solana, or Polygon.
  • Compliance & Standards: Built-in support for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and other standards, with custom logic for governance (ERC-20Votes) and access control.
  • Guaranteed Quality: Every contract undergoes rigorous unit testing, static analysis with Slither/MythX, and a formal review before delivery.

We deliver battle-tested code that executes as intended, protecting your assets and your users' trust. Reduce your time-to-market with production-ready contracts in as little as 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from CTOs and engineering leads evaluating zero-knowledge infrastructure.

Standard integration takes 1-2 weeks from contract signing to production-ready deployment. This includes environment setup, API key provisioning, and a pilot transaction flow. For custom circuit development or integration with novel state models, the timeline extends to 4-6 weeks based on complexity.
