END-TO-END BITCOIN IOT IMPLEMENTATION
Our Strategic Advisory Framework
We provide a structured, four-phase approach to de-risk your Bitcoin IoT payment project, from initial concept to production-ready deployment. Our framework is designed to accelerate time-to-market while ensuring security and scalability.
01
Architecture & Protocol Design
We design the foundational architecture for your IoT payment system, selecting the optimal Bitcoin layer (Lightning Network, RGB, or L2s) and defining the hardware-software protocol stack for secure, low-latency transactions.

On-Chain vs. Lightning vs. Layer 2 Solutions
Bitcoin IoT Payment Protocol Trade-Off Analysis
A technical comparison of Bitcoin-based settlement layers for IoT micropayments, evaluating key factors for hardware integration, cost, and scalability.
| Evaluation Factor | On-Chain Bitcoin | Lightning Network | Layer 2s (e.g., Stacks, RSK) |
|---|---|---|---|
Transaction Finality | ~10-60 minutes | < 1 second | ~1-5 minutes |
Micro-payment Viability | No (High Fees) | Yes (Sub-cent) | Yes (Low Fees) |
IoT Hardware Complexity | Low | High (Channel Mgmt.) | Medium |
Smart Contract Support | Basic (Script) | Limited (HTLCs) | Full (EVM/Solidity) |
Settlement Security | Maximum (L1) | High (with watchtowers) | High (Bitcoin-backed) |
Time to Integrate | 2-4 weeks | 8-12 weeks | 6-10 weeks |
Typical Cost per 1M Tx | $5K-$50K | < $100 | $500-$5K |
Recommended Use Case | High-value, infrequent settlement | Real-time, high-volume streams | Programmable, automated business logic |

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
We architect and deploy custom Solidity and Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage development process, including formal verification and third-party audits, to ensure zero vulnerabilities in production.
- Token Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom implementations. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking contracts.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, DAO governance, asset tokenization frameworks.
- Security First: Built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries and tested against known attack vectors.
From initial concept to mainnet deployment, we deliver contracts that are gas-optimized, upgradeable, and fully documented. Reduce your time-to-market from months to weeks with our battle-tested development framework.
