overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our process ensures security-first development with formal verification and comprehensive audits before mainnet deployment.

  • Full-Stack Expertise: Solidity/Rust/Vyper development for EVM, Solana, and Cosmos ecosystems.
  • Security Standard: Implementation of OpenZeppelin patterns and industry-standard upgradeability proxies.
  • Compliance Ready: Built-in support for ERC-20, ERC-721, and custom token standards with regulatory considerations.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviewed for efficiency, targeting up to 40% lower transaction costs.

From initial concept to post-launch monitoring, we deliver contracts that are secure, maintainable, and ready to handle real-world volume.

DESIGNED FOR PRODUCTION

Core Protocol Capabilities We Deliver

Our dispute resolution mechanisms are engineered to be secure, efficient, and legally sound from day one. We deliver battle-tested protocol components that integrate seamlessly into your existing DeFi, gaming, or enterprise blockchain stack.

01

On-Chain Arbitration Logic

We design and implement custom, gas-optimized smart contracts for automated dispute adjudication. Our logic supports multi-round evidence submission, time-bound challenges, and deterministic outcomes based on pre-defined rulesets.

Decentralized Jury Selection & Incentives

We architect secure, Sybil-resistant mechanisms for selecting and incentivizing jurors. This includes stake-based reputation systems, cryptoeconomic slashing for bad actors, and fair reward distribution to ensure honest participation.

Evidence Standardization & Verification

We define and implement protocol standards for submitting, storing, and verifying digital evidence (hashes, signatures, timestamps). Integrates with IPFS, Arweave, or centralized storage with cryptographic proof.

Escrow & Settlement Automation

Secure, non-custodial escrow smart contracts that automatically release funds based on the dispute resolution outcome. Supports multi-asset settlements (ERC-20, ERC-721, native tokens) and partial settlements.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Development & Integration Process

A structured, four-phase approach to deliver secure, scalable, and legally sound on-chain dispute resolution systems, minimizing your technical and operational risk.

01

Architecture & Protocol Design

We design the core dispute resolution logic, including multi-tiered arbitration, evidence submission standards, and automated enforcement mechanisms. This phase defines the ruleset that ensures fairness and finality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from CTOs and product leads about implementing robust, on-chain dispute resolution for DeFi, DAOs, and marketplaces.

Our process follows a structured 4-phase methodology: 1) Discovery & Threat Modeling (1-2 weeks) to analyze your protocol's specific vulnerabilities and governance needs. 2) Architecture & Design (2-3 weeks) where we draft the smart contract logic, escalation paths, and juror incentive models. 3) Implementation & Testing (3-6 weeks) for development, comprehensive unit/integration testing, and internal audits. 4) Deployment & Documentation (1 week) including mainnet deployment and full technical documentation for your team. We provide weekly syncs and a dedicated technical lead throughout.
