overview
SERVICE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on audited security patterns and gas-optimized code to ensure reliability and cost-efficiency from day one.

Deliver a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Our full-service development includes:

  • End-to-end lifecycle management: From initial design and Solidity/Rust development to deployment and maintenance on EVM or Solana chains.
  • Comprehensive security: Integration of OpenZeppelin libraries, automated testing, and preparation for third-party audits.
  • Specialized logic: Development of custom token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), DeFi primitives, DAO governance, and bespoke business logic.
