We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a minimum viable product (MVP) in 2-4 weeks.
Private Derivatives Contract Engineering
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Security-First Development: Code written in
Solidity 0.8+usingOpenZeppelinlibraries, followed by third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp. - Standard & Custom Logic: From standard
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155tokens to complex DeFi primitives, DAO governance, and bespoke business logic. - Full Lifecycle Support: We handle deployment, verification on block explorers, and provide ongoing maintenance and upgrade strategies using proxy patterns.
Core Engineering Capabilities
We engineer secure, high-performance derivatives infrastructure from the ground up. Our focus is on delivering production-ready systems with institutional-grade reliability and compliance.
Custom Smart Contract Architecture
Design and deploy bespoke derivatives logic (options, futures, swaps) using Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries. We implement gas-optimized patterns for on-chain settlement and margin management.
Oracle Integration & Data Feeds
Secure integration with Chainlink, Pyth Network, and custom data providers for reliable price feeds and settlement. We implement multi-source validation and circuit breakers to protect against manipulation.
Risk & Margin Engine Development
Build robust off-chain risk engines for real-time position monitoring, margin calculation, and liquidation logic. We ensure systems are capital-efficient and resilient under volatile market conditions.
Security-First Development Lifecycle
From design to deployment, security is integrated. Our process includes formal verification, automated testing (Foundry/Hardhat), and audits by leading firms like Trail of Bits and Quantstamp.
Cross-Chain Settlement Layer
Engineer interoperability for derivatives settled across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other L2s. We implement secure bridging and messaging (LayerZero, Wormhole) for unified liquidity and position management.
Regulatory Compliance & Reporting
Build compliant systems with embedded KYC/AML checks, transaction monitoring, and automated reporting. We design for privacy (zk-proofs) while meeting jurisdictional requirements.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our private derivatives contract engineering delivers measurable results, from accelerated time-to-market to robust, compliant infrastructure. We focus on the technical outcomes that directly impact your platform's performance and security.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Deploy a fully-audited, production-ready derivatives protocol in under 6 weeks. Our battle-tested templates and modular architecture eliminate months of development time, allowing you to capture market opportunities faster.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Contracts are built with OpenZeppelin libraries and undergo rigorous audits by firms like Trail of Bits and Quantstamp. We implement formal verification for critical logic, ensuring your platform's integrity from day one.
Capital Efficiency & Low Latency
Engineered for sub-second trade execution and settlement with gas-optimized smart contracts. Our architecture minimizes on-chain footprint, reducing operational costs by up to 40% for high-frequency strategies.
Institutional Liquidity Integration
Seamlessly connect to major liquidity venues (dYdX, Aevo, Hyperliquid) and traditional prime brokers. Our oracle-agnostic design supports Pyth, Chainlink, and custom price feeds for robust market data.
Full Protocol Ownership & Control
Receive complete, documented source code, deployment scripts, and admin key management systems. Maintain full autonomy over upgrades, fee structures, and governance without vendor lock-in.
Structured Development Tiers
Our tiered service model is designed to scale with your project, from initial MVP to institutional-grade deployment. Each tier includes a comprehensive audit and security review.

Our Zero-Knowledge Development Process
We deliver production-ready private derivatives with a rigorous, four-phase approach that ensures security, scalability, and regulatory compliance from day one.
Architecture & Circuit Design
We architect your private trading logic using zk-SNARKs (Groth16/PLONK) or zk-STARKs based on your throughput and trust assumptions. This includes defining the precise computational statements to be proven off-chain.
Implementation & Optimization
Our engineers write and optimize the zero-knowledge circuits and verifier smart contracts. We focus on minimizing proof generation time and on-chain verification gas costs for sustainable operation.
Security Audit & Formal Verification
Every circuit and contract undergoes internal review followed by an external audit from firms like Trail of Bits or Spearbit. We use formal verification tools to mathematically prove correctness.
Integration & Mainnet Deployment
We integrate the prover backend with your existing trading engine and deploy the verifier contracts with a multi-sig configuration. Includes full monitoring setup for proof generation health and contract events.
Private Derivatives Engineering FAQ
Answers to common questions about our bespoke derivatives protocol development, from security and timeline to pricing and post-launch support.
From initial specification to mainnet deployment, a standard private derivatives protocol takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture design, 3-4 weeks for core smart contract development, 1-2 weeks for internal testing and audit preparation, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration. Complex features like cross-margin accounts or novel oracle integrations can extend this timeline, which we scope and agree upon upfront.
