Our smart contract suite is engineered for founders and investors, providing automated, transparent, and secure token distribution with zero operational overhead.
Token Vesting and Lockup Smart Contracts
Core Features of Our Vesting Contracts
Business Outcomes You Can Expect
Our token vesting and lockup contracts are engineered to deliver measurable security, compliance, and operational efficiency for your team and investors.
Regulatory & Investor Confidence
We deliver audited, battle-tested contracts that enforce vesting schedules with mathematical precision. This eliminates manual errors, ensures transparent on-chain proof of compliance, and builds immediate trust with investors and regulators.
Accelerated Fundraising & Liquidity Events
Deploy a secure, investor-ready vesting framework in days, not months. Our modular templates for cliffs, linear releases, and milestone-based unlocks allow you to structure complex deals quickly, speeding up SAFT/SAFE conversions and exchange listings.
Reduced Legal & Operational Overhead
Replace costly manual cap table management and legal escrow services with immutable, self-executing code. Automate distributions, clawbacks, and tax reporting events, freeing your team from administrative burdens and reducing third-party dependency.
Enhanced Tokenomics & Market Stability
Implement sophisticated lockup mechanisms like linear vesting, time-locks, and team multi-sig wallets to prevent token dumps. This protects your token price at TGE, aligns long-term incentives, and signals strong governance to the market.
Future-Proof Flexibility
Our contracts are built for scale with upgradeable proxies and modular design. Easily add new beneficiary pools, adjust vesting terms for M&A, or integrate with staking/DAO platforms without costly redeployments or security regressions.

Our Development Process
A systematic, security-first approach to building robust token vesting and lockup contracts that protect your team and investors. We deliver production-ready code, not just prototypes.
Discovery & Architecture
We analyze your tokenomics, team structure, and legal requirements to design a custom vesting schedule (cliff, linear, milestone-based) and lockup strategy. This ensures the contract aligns with your business goals from day one.
Secure Smart Contract Development
Our engineers write clean, gas-optimized Solidity code using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard security patterns. We implement features like admin controls, emergency pauses, and multi-sig wallet support by default.
Deployment & Verification
We handle mainnet deployment on Ethereum, Polygon, or your chosen EVM chain, including contract verification on Etherscan and configuration of front-end integration parameters for a seamless user experience.
Comprehensive Documentation
Receive detailed technical documentation for your developers and clear user guides for administrators. We document all functions, roles, and processes to ensure smooth long-term management.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Post-launch, we offer monitoring dashboards for vesting events and provide developer support for upgrades or modifications. Our team is available to ensure your vesting system operates flawlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, security, and timelines for custom vesting smart contract development.
We deliver production-ready, audited token vesting contracts in 2-4 weeks from kickoff. Standard schedules (linear, cliff) take 2 weeks. Complex multi-tranche, milestone-based, or DAO-governed vesting systems require 3-4 weeks. This includes design, development, comprehensive testing, and a security review.
