overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your token, DeFi, or NFT project.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited security patterns and battle-tested standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155.

  • From Concept to Mainnet: Full-cycle development from technical specification to deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) or Solana.
  • Security-First Approach: Code reviews, automated testing with Hardhat/Foundry, and integration with top audit firms.
  • Gas Optimization: Expert tuning to reduce transaction costs by up to 40% for end-users.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and efficient on-chain foundation in as little as 3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions on ZK KYC Development

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and implementation for your Zero-Knowledge KYC protocol.

A standard ZK KYC protocol deployment takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 1-2 weeks for requirements and architecture, 2-4 weeks for core circuit and smart contract development, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and integration. Complex integrations with existing enterprise systems or custom compliance logic can extend this timeline. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones.
