CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a market-ready, secure protocol in 4-6 weeks, not months.
- Full-Stack Development: From
ERC-20tokens andERC-721NFTs to complex DeFi logic, cross-chain bridges, and DAO governance systems. - Security-First Process: Development with
OpenZeppelinlibraries, followed by multi-firm audits (including manual review and automated analysis) before mainnet deployment. - Gas Optimization: Every contract is optimized for lower transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption and protocol sustainability.
- Compliance & Upgradability: We implement proxy patterns for seamless upgrades and integrate compliance features like whitelists and pausable functions.

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Audit & Framework Methodology
A multi-layered security approach combining automated analysis with deep manual review to deliver actionable insights and a robust risk management framework for your Bitcoin bridge.
01
Comprehensive Smart Contract Audit
In-depth review of bridge smart contracts (Solidity/Rust) covering logic flaws, economic attacks, and integration risks. We deliver a prioritized vulnerability report with remediation guidance.
100%
Code Coverage
OWASP Top 10
Security Standard
02
Cryptographic & Consensus Review
Analysis of signature schemes (Schnorr, ECDSA), multi-party computation (MPC) setups, and light client verification logic to ensure the cryptographic integrity of cross-chain messages.

Formal Verification
Critical Components
03
Economic & Incentive Modeling
Stress-testing the bridge's economic security under volatile market conditions, including validator slashing conditions, liquidity pool dynamics, and maximum extractable value (MEV) risks.

SECURITY FIRST
Why a Formal Audit & Framework is Critical
Bitcoin bridge security is non-negotiable. A formal audit and a proactive risk framework are not optional—they are your primary defense against catastrophic financial loss and reputational damage.
01
Prevent Multi-Million Dollar Exploits
Our audits identify critical vulnerabilities in bridge architecture, consensus mechanisms, and key management before they are exploited. We've helped secure over $1B+ in bridged assets for clients.
