overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our engineers specialize in Solidity 0.8+, Rust, and Move, implementing OpenZeppelin standards and gas-optimized patterns from day one.

  • Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes internal audits and formal verification before deployment.
  • Full-Stack Integration: We ensure seamless interaction with your frontend and backend via ethers.js or viem.
  • Proven Delivery: Typical project timelines: 2 weeks for an MVP, 6-8 weeks for a full protocol.

We don't just write code; we deliver audited, mainnet-ready systems with documented upgrade paths and emergency response plans.

Our Methodology: Risk-Managed Execution

We execute multi-chain DAO migrations with a zero-downtime, security-first approach. Our phased methodology minimizes disruption and eliminates governance risk.

01

Phase 1: Governance & State Analysis

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing DAO's governance rules, treasury allocations, and on-chain state. This creates a deterministic migration blueprint, ensuring no member rights or token balances are altered.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration

Deploying audited, upgradeable governance contracts (Governor, Timelock, Treasury) on the target chain(s). We use a canary deployment strategy, migrating sub-DAOs or a portion of treasury first to validate the new system.
