CORE SERVICES

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts with formal verification and gas optimization. Our process ensures your core business logic is secure, efficient, and future-proof.

  • Security-First Development: All contracts undergo multi-stage audits using static analysis, fuzzing, and manual review against known attack vectors.
  • Gas-Optimized Code: We reduce transaction costs by up to 40% through advanced optimization patterns and storage management.
  • Compliance & Standards: Built-in support for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom standards with upgradeability via transparent proxies.

Deploy battle-tested contracts in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical functions. We provide full documentation and a comprehensive test suite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on how we build secure, scalable paywall solutions for publishers and creators.

A standard paywall solution with core features (token-gating, subscription management, payment processing) typically deploys in 2-4 weeks. Complex integrations with existing CMS platforms or custom tokenomics can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project timeline after the initial technical scoping session.
