overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity and Rust smart contracts that form the foundation of your protocol. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a 2-4 week MVP with full audit readiness.

  • Security-First Design: Contracts built with OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and comprehensive test suites covering 95%+ of code paths.
  • Gas Optimization: Every line is optimized for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by 20-40% on average.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial architecture and development through to deployment, monitoring, and upgrade management via transparent proxies.

Direct L2 Bridge vs. Generic Cross-Chain Solution

Choosing the right bridge architecture impacts security, cost, and user experience. This table compares our specialized L2-to-L2 bridge development with generic cross-chain messaging platforms.

Key FactorDirect L2-to-L2 BridgeGeneric Cross-Chain Solution

Architecture Focus

Optimized for specific L2 pairs (e.g., Arbitrum <-> Base)

Generalized for many chains via a hub-and-spoke model

Latency (End-to-End)

< 3 minutes

Gas Cost per Transfer

~$0.50 - $2.00 (L2 gas only)

$5 - $15+ (multiple L1 confirmations)

Security Model

Limited to standard asset transfer patterns

Time to Deploy

4-8 weeks (custom development)

1-2 weeks (integration of SDK/API)

Typical Use Case

High-volume DEX, dedicated gaming ecosystem, institutional settlement

Multi-chain wallet, NFT marketplace listing on many chains

Total Cost (First Year)

Our Development & Delivery Process

We deliver secure, production-ready L2 bridges on a fixed timeline. Our phased approach ensures transparency, reduces technical risk, and gets your cross-chain solution to market faster.

01

Discovery & Architecture

We analyze your tokenomics, target chains (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, etc.), and security requirements to design a custom bridge architecture. This phase defines the technical scope, security model, and final project timeline.

Core Smart Contract Development

Our engineers build the bridge's on-chain logic in Solidity/Vyper using battle-tested patterns. This includes the core bridge contract, message relayers, and token wrappers, all developed with security-first principles.

Security Audit & Testing

Every line of code undergoes rigorous internal review and automated testing. We then engage a top-tier third-party auditor (e.g., Spearbit, Code4rena) for an independent security assessment before mainnet deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our process, timeline, security, and support for building secure, high-performance cross-layer bridges.

A standard bridge deployment with core functionality (deposit/withdrawal, asset mapping, basic governance) takes 2-4 weeks from finalized specifications to mainnet launch. Complex features like native token bridging, advanced fraud proofs, or custom economic security models can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial scoping phase.
