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 operational backbone of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin standards, ensuring security and audit-readiness from day one.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, yield aggregators, and lending vaults.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access-controlled registries, and verifiable credential systems.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviewed for >30% gas reduction on common operations.

We deliver fully tested, documented, and mainnet-ready contracts in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for deployed systems.

PREDICTABLE, LOW-RISK MIGRATION

Our 4-Phase Delivery Process

We de-risk your payment gateway modernization with a structured, transparent methodology proven for financial systems. Each phase delivers clear value and measurable progress.

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture

We conduct a deep technical audit of your legacy system and design a future-proof blockchain architecture. This includes a detailed migration roadmap, API specification, and security threat model.

Deliverables: Technical audit report, system architecture diagrams, and a phased implementation plan.

2-3 weeks
Typical Duration

02

Phase 2: Core Smart Contract Development

Our engineers build the secure, auditable payment logic on-chain. We develop and test core settlement contracts, multi-signature wallets, and oracle integrations for real-world data.

Deliverables: Production-ready Solidity/Vyper contracts, unit/integration test suites, and initial security review.

4-6 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on upgrading your payment infrastructure to Web3. We address common technical, timeline, and security questions from CTOs and engineering leads.

A standard upgrade from a legacy system (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to a Web3-native gateway takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design, 2-4 weeks for core development and smart contract auditing, and 1-2 weeks for integration testing and deployment. Complex multi-chain or high-frequency trading requirements can extend this timeline.
