overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our focus is on security-first development using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard patterns.

  • Custom Logic: Build ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke protocols for staking, governance, or asset management.
  • Full Audit Trail: Contracts undergo internal review and integration with leading audit firms for a secure launch.
  • Deployment & Verification: We handle mainnet deployment, contract verification on Etherscan, and provide comprehensive documentation.

Deliver a market-ready product with minimized risk and technical debt. We ensure your contracts are secure by design and built for scale.

Core Integration Capabilities

We architect the secure, compliant bridge between your DAO's on-chain governance and its off-chain legal entity. Our integrations ensure enforceable legal rights, liability protection, and regulatory alignment for institutional participants.

01

Smart Contract Legal Hooks

Embed legally-binding provisions directly into your DAO's governance contracts. We implement secure, audited hooks that trigger real-world legal actions (e.g., member onboarding, asset transfers) upon on-chain vote execution.

Our legal wrapper integration transforms your DAO from a technical experiment into a compliant, scalable business entity. We deliver concrete operational and legal advantages.

01

Regulatory Compliance & Legal Clarity

Establish a recognized legal entity (LLC, Foundation) that interfaces with your on-chain governance. This provides clear liability structures, tax treatment, and the ability to enter enforceable contracts with service providers and partners.

STRUCTURED APPROACH

Our Integration Methodology

A proven, phased framework for integrating legal wrappers with your DAO's on-chain governance, ensuring compliance without sacrificing decentralization or speed.

01

1. Governance & Legal Architecture Review

We audit your existing DAO smart contracts and legal structure to map governance flows, identify compliance gaps, and design the optimal legal wrapper interface (LLC, Foundation, UNA).
