PROVEN PROCESS
Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready data sharding networks through a structured, transparent process designed for technical teams. Each phase includes clear deliverables, security checkpoints, and direct collaboration with our engineers.
01
Architecture & Design Sprint
We conduct a 1-week collaborative sprint to define your network's sharding strategy (geographic, logical, or application-based), consensus mechanism, and data replication policy. Deliverables include a technical specification document and a high-level architecture diagram.
