CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and SPL tokens with custom minting, vesting, and governance. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, asset tokenization platforms, and compliant KYC/AML modules.
We guarantee zero critical vulnerabilities in production and provide a comprehensive audit report. Typical delivery for a core contract suite is 2-3 weeks.

Choosing Your Bridge Architecture
Native Module vs. External Bridge: A Technical & Business Comparison
A detailed comparison of the two primary approaches for connecting your Substrate-based blockchain to external networks, analyzing the impact on development, security, and long-term operations.
| Feature | Native Substrate Module | External Bridge Contract |
|---|---|---|
Development Timeline | 4-8 weeks | 8-16 weeks |
Architectural Complexity | Low (native runtime) | High (off-chain components) |
Security Surface | Minimal (runtime logic) | Expanded (relayers, contracts) |
Gas Fee Control | Full control (custom pallet) | Dependent on target chain |
Upgrade Flexibility | Governance-based forkless upgrades | Complex multi-step migrations |
Cross-Chain Message Latency | < 2 seconds | 2-5 minutes (block confirmations) |
Ongoing Operational Cost | Low (validator set only) | High (relayer infrastructure) |
Initial Development Cost | $50K - $150K | $100K - $300K+ |
Recommended For | High-throughput, sovereign chains | Simple asset transfers to EVM |

Frequently Asked Questions on Substrate Bridge Modules
Get clear answers on development timelines, security, costs, and support for your cross-chain bridge project.
A standard, production-ready bridge module connecting two Substrate-based chains typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes architecture, development, internal testing, and a basic security audit. Complex multi-chain bridges or those requiring custom consensus mechanisms can extend to 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint plan during the initial technical scoping call.
