overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your dApp.

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:

  • Two-week MVP delivery for standard token or NFT contracts.
  • Full audit readiness using OpenZeppelin patterns and comprehensive test suites.
  • Gas optimization to reduce user transaction costs by up to 40%.

We don't just write code; we deliver the secure, auditable backbone your application needs to scale.

Our contracts are built for real-world use, featuring:

  • Upgradeability patterns (Transparent/UUPS Proxy) for future-proofing.
  • Multi-signature wallet integration for secure treasury management.
  • Compliance-ready logic for ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers about our specialized service for automating and scaling your Lightning Network infrastructure.

Standard implementation takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. This includes initial integration, configuration of your routing logic, and a full security audit of the automation rules. Complex multi-node deployments or custom liquidity algorithms may extend this to 4-5 weeks.
