We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a production-ready MVP in 2-4 weeks.
EVM-Based Verifiable Computation Circuits
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
- Security-First Architecture: Code written in
Solidity 0.8+orRust, followingOpenZeppelinstandards and best practices. - Comprehensive Testing: Unit, integration, and scenario testing with
HardhatorAnchor. - Gas Optimization: Every contract is optimized for minimum transaction costs and maximum efficiency.
- Full Audit Support: We prepare contracts for third-party audits with detailed documentation and a test suite.
From fungible
ERC-20tokens to complexERC-721marketplaces and custom DeFi logic, we build the secure foundation your application needs to launch with confidence.
Core Capabilities of Our ZK Circuit Service
We deliver custom zero-knowledge circuits for EVM-based applications, enabling verifiable off-chain computation with on-chain trust. Our service is designed for CTOs who need to scale operations, reduce gas costs, and add privacy without compromising security.
Custom Circuit Design
We architect and implement ZK circuits (zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs) tailored to your specific business logic, from private voting to scalable order books. Our team translates complex requirements into efficient, verifiable constraints.
Gas-Optimized Verification
We specialize in minimizing the on-chain verification cost of your proofs. Our circuits are engineered for sub-$0.01 verification fees on L2s, directly impacting your application's operational costs and user experience.
Security-First Development
Every circuit undergoes rigorous review following OpenZeppelin security patterns and is tested against common ZK vulnerabilities (e.g., under-constrained circuits). We provide audit-ready code for your peace of mind.
End-to-End Integration
We handle the full stack: circuit logic, trusted setup coordination (Perpetual Powers of Tau), proof generation backend, and smart contract verifiers. You get a production-ready module, not just a circuit file.
Scalable Proof Systems
We implement circuits optimized for your throughput needs, supporting batch verification and parallel proof generation to handle high-volume applications like rollups or private DeFi transactions.
Ongoing Support & Upgrades
Your circuit is a living component. We provide documentation, monitoring dashboards, and upgrade paths for new proving systems (e.g., transitioning to Nova) to ensure long-term viability.
Business Outcomes: Why Build Verifiable Computation
Move beyond trust assumptions to mathematically proven execution. EVM-based verifiable computation delivers tangible business results by embedding cryptographic guarantees directly into your application logic.
Proven Applications for Verifiable Computation
Our EVM-based circuits are battle-tested in high-value applications, delivering provable security and operational efficiency. These are not theoretical proofs-of-concept, but production systems securing billions in assets and transactions.
Cross-Chain Bridge Security
Replace trusted multisigs with mathematically verifiable state proofs. Our circuits enable secure, non-custodial asset transfers between Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism with cryptographic finality.
ZK-Rollup Validity Proofs
Build custom zkEVMs or zkVMs with optimized circuits for your application logic. We deliver high-throughput proof systems that reduce L1 settlement costs by over 90%.
Private On-Chain Voting
Implement confidential governance and voting mechanisms for DAOs. Our circuits enable vote secrecy with public verifiability, preventing coercion and ensuring integrity.
DeFi Risk & Compliance Proofs
Generate verifiable proofs for regulatory compliance (e.g., proof of solvency, transaction legitimacy) or complex risk calculations without exposing sensitive data.
Scalable Gaming & NFTs
Offload complex game logic (randomness, match resolution, asset evolution) to verifiable circuits. Enable provably fair mechanics and high-frequency interactions on L2s.
Data Oracle Integrity
Create trust-minimized oracles where data feeds are verified by ZK proofs. Ensure tamper-proof price feeds and event data for DeFi protocols with cryptographic guarantees.

Our ZK Circuit Development Process
A structured, security-first approach to building high-performance, verifiable computation circuits for EVM applications. We deliver production-ready circuits with audited security and optimal gas efficiency.
Architecture & Specification
We translate your business logic into a formal circuit specification using Circom or Halo2. This includes defining constraints, selecting optimal proving systems (Groth16, Plonk), and planning for gas-optimized on-chain verification.
Circuit Implementation
Our engineers write and optimize the zero-knowledge circuits, focusing on constraint efficiency and security. We implement custom gates and lookup tables to minimize proof generation time and verification costs.
Performance Optimization
We benchmark and optimize proof generation time, proof size, and on-chain verification gas costs. Techniques include circuit partitioning, custom precompiles, and backend prover tuning (arkworks, snarkjs).
Integration & Deployment
We deliver a complete integration package: Solidity verifier contracts, TypeScript/Go prover clients, and comprehensive documentation. We support deployment to Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other EVM chains.
Ongoing Support & Upgrades
Post-deployment, we provide monitoring, performance tuning, and upgrade paths for new ZK proving systems (e.g., Nova, SuperNova). We ensure your circuits remain secure and cost-effective as the ecosystem evolves.
