PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready ZK-rollup solutions through a structured, milestone-driven process designed for technical founders. Our methodology ensures predictable delivery, transparent collaboration, and infrastructure built for scale.
01
Architecture & Protocol Design
We begin with a deep technical assessment of your settlement logic to design an optimal ZK-rollup architecture. This includes selecting the right proving system (e.g., Plonk, STARKs), data availability layer, and cross-chain messaging protocol (e.g., LayerZero, Axelar) for your specific use case.

Circuit Development & Proving
Our team engineers the core zero-knowledge circuits in Circom or Noir, implementing your custom settlement logic. We focus on proof efficiency (proving time, verification cost) and security, with formal verification practices applied to critical components.

Security & Audit Integration
Security is integrated, not an afterthought. We conduct internal audits, formal verification on critical paths, and facilitate external audits with leading firms. We deliver a comprehensive audit report and a remediation plan before mainnet deployment.

Staged Testnet Deployment
We deploy to a private testnet for initial validation, followed by a public testnet (e.g., Sepolia, Holesky) with incentivized testing programs. We monitor performance, gather feedback, and iterate on the bridge UI/UX and economic parameters.
