Deliver a secure, gas-optimized, and upgradeable contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.
- Full-Stack Development: From
ERC-20/ERC-721tokens to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance systems. - Security & Audits: Multi-stage review process, including unit/integration tests and formal verification readiness.
- Post-Deployment Support: Includes monitoring, incident response, and upgrade management via transparent proxy patterns.
Core Capabilities of Our Move Governance Systems
We architect and deploy secure, scalable on-chain governance for Aptos and Sui networks, reducing your time-to-market from months to weeks.
Custom Proposal Lifecycle Engine
End-to-end governance module development with custom voting mechanisms (e.g., token-weighted, quadratic), proposal submission, and automated execution via Move smart contracts.
Security-First Architecture
Built with formal verification patterns, comprehensive unit/integration testing, and optional audits by leading firms like OtterSec or Zellic for production deployments.
Multi-Chain DAO Tooling
Seamless frontend integration with governance SDKs, real-time proposal dashboards, and wallet connectivity for Aptos, Sui, and Ethereum via bridges.
Gas-Optimized Execution
Engineered Move modules that minimize transaction costs for voters and DAO treasuries, with benchmarked savings of 40-60% versus unoptimized code.
Upgradeable Governance Frameworks
Future-proof systems with built-in upgrade mechanisms using Move's resource model, allowing parameter tuning and module replacement without migration.
Compliance & Reporting Suite
Automated on-chain analytics, voter participation reports, and treasury expenditure tracking for transparent DAO operations and regulatory readiness.
Business Outcomes for Your DAO
Our Move-based Proposal Lifecycle System delivers tangible operational improvements, from faster governance cycles to enhanced security and member engagement. Here’s what you can expect.
Accelerated Governance Cycles
Reduce proposal-to-execution time from weeks to days with automated workflows and on-chain execution. Eliminate manual bottlenecks and keep your DAO agile.
Enhanced Security & Auditability
Leverage Move's inherent safety features for tamper-proof voting and fund management. Every action is cryptographically verified and immutably logged on-chain.
Increased Voter Participation
Boost engagement with gasless voting, delegate systems, and intuitive interfaces. Higher turnout leads to more legitimate, community-backed decisions.
Reduced Operational Overhead
Automate treasury disbursements, role assignments, and contributor payouts based on proposal outcomes. Cut administrative costs and human error.
Scalable, Future-Proof Architecture
Built on Aptos/Sui Move, our systems handle high transaction throughput and complex logic, ensuring your DAO scales without performance degradation.

Our Development & Verification Process
A structured, security-first approach to building and deploying audited Move-based governance systems, ensuring reliability from concept to mainnet.
Architecture & Specification
We define the on-chain governance model, proposal lifecycle states, and voting mechanisms tailored to your tokenomics. Deliverables include a comprehensive technical specification and system architecture diagram.
Move Module Development
Implementation of core governance modules (proposal submission, voting, execution) and treasury management in Move, following Aptos/Sui best practices for security and gas efficiency.
Rigorous Security Audit
Our code undergoes internal review followed by a formal audit with a third-party security firm. We provide a detailed report with findings and remediation before deployment.
Testnet Deployment & Simulation
Full deployment to a testnet environment. We execute comprehensive simulation of proposal lifecycles, stress tests under high vote volume, and dry-run treasury transactions.
Mainnet Launch & Monitoring
We manage the secure mainnet deployment, configure initial governance parameters, and provide 30 days of post-launch monitoring and support to ensure system stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our end-to-end development, security, and support for on-chain governance platforms.
A standard, production-ready proposal lifecycle system with core features (proposal creation, voting, execution) typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. Complex systems with custom voting mechanisms, multi-chain execution, or advanced treasury management can take 8-12 weeks. We follow a phased delivery model with weekly demos, ensuring you see progress and can provide feedback throughout development.
