Bitcoin Lightning Atomic Swap Protocol Development

We design and build secure, non-custodial atomic swap protocols that leverage the Bitcoin Lightning Network for instant, low-cost cross-chain settlements, enabling direct BTC trading with other digital assets.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the immutable backbone of your protocol. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and includes formal verification for critical logic.

From a 2-week MVP to a full DeFi suite, we deliver contracts that are secure by design and ready for mainnet.

  • Security-First Development: Multi-stage audits, property-based testing with Foundry, and gas optimization reviews.
  • Protocol Specialization: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, staking systems, automated market makers (AMMs), and cross-chain bridges.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Development, deployment, upgrade planning via proxies, and ongoing monitoring.

Core Protocol Capabilities

We deliver enterprise-grade Bitcoin Lightning Atomic Swap protocol development, engineered for security, speed, and seamless cross-chain interoperability. Our solutions are built to scale from MVP to handling billions in volume.

01

Secure HTLC Implementation

We architect and deploy Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs) with formal verification and multi-signature security patterns. Our implementations prevent front-running and ensure atomicity, so swaps either complete fully or refund automatically.
