We architect cross-chain DEXs with production-grade reliability, security, and performance from day one. Every capability is engineered to reduce your time-to-market and technical risk.
Cross-Chain DEX Development
Core DEX Capabilities We Deliver
Cross-Chain Liquidity Aggregation
Integrate liquidity from major EVM and non-EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana) into a single, seamless trading interface. We implement proven bridges and messaging layers like LayerZero and Axelar for secure asset transfers.
Custom AMM & Order Book Logic
Deploy tailored Automated Market Maker (AMM) curves (Constant Product, StableSwap, Concentrated) or hybrid order book models. Our contracts are gas-optimized and built with MEV resistance in mind.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Audits
All smart contracts undergo rigorous internal review and formal verification. We facilitate audits with leading firms like CertiK and OpenZeppelin, delivering a verifiable security posture for your users and investors.
High-Performance Matching Engine
Backend infrastructure built for sub-second trade execution and high TPS, capable of handling volatile market conditions without downtime. Includes real-time price oracles and slippage protection.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
Build with regulatory considerations integrated. Features include configurable KYC/AML gateways, transaction monitoring hooks, and role-based access controls, ensuring adaptability to global markets.
Full-Stack Frontend & SDK
A responsive, customizable trading UI/UX (React/Next.js) paired with a comprehensive TypeScript SDK. Enables rapid integration for your users or partners to interact with the DEX protocol directly.
Business Outcomes for Your Protocol
We architect cross-chain DEXs that deliver measurable business results, from accelerated time-to-market to hardened security and sustainable growth.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Go from concept to mainnet in 6-8 weeks with our battle-tested DEX framework. We handle the core infrastructure so your team can focus on product differentiation and go-to-market strategy.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Deploy with confidence. Every smart contract module undergoes rigorous audits by firms like Spearbit or Cyfrin, following OpenZeppelin standards and formal verification practices.
Optimized Capital Efficiency
Maximize liquidity provider yields and minimize trader slippage. We implement concentrated liquidity (Uniswap V3-style), advanced routing, and MEV protection to improve your protocol's core economics.
Seamless Multi-Chain Liquidity
Unify fragmented liquidity across 8+ chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, etc.) using secure bridging oracles and canonical token standards, creating a single, deep pool for users.
Scalable, Gas-Optimized Architecture
Built for high throughput and low fees. Our Solidity contracts leverage gas-efficient patterns, Diamond Proxy (EIP-2535) for upgradeability, and are benchmarked for sub-cent transaction costs on L2s.
Phased Development Tiers
A modular approach to cross-chain DEX development, designed to align with your funding stage and user growth. Start with a secure, audited core and add advanced features as your liquidity and volume scale.
| Core Capability | Launch Tier | Growth Tier | Scale Tier |

Smart Contract Audit | Comprehensive (Quantstamp, CertiK) | Comprehensive + Economic Review | Comprehensive + Continuous Monitoring |
Liquidity Strategy | Basic Pool Setup (Uniswap V3) | Concentrated Liquidity + Yield Strategies | Custom Market Making & Cross-Chain Arbitrage Bots |
UI/UX Frontend | White-Label Web App | Custom UI + Mobile SDK | Enterprise Dashboard & Advanced Analytics Suite |
Support & SLA | Email Support, 24h Response | Priority Slack Channel, 8h Response | Dedicated Engineer, 1h P1 Response, 99.9% Uptime |
Time to Market | 4-6 Weeks | 8-12 Weeks | 12-16 Weeks |
Typical Investment | $50K - $100K | $150K - $300K | $500K+ (Custom) |
Technical Architecture & Stack
Our battle-tested, modular architecture is designed for high-frequency trading, institutional-grade security, and seamless multi-chain interoperability. We deliver production-ready systems, not proof-of-concepts.
Modular Smart Contract Framework
Custom-built DEX core with audited, upgradeable contracts for AMM, order book, and liquidity management. Built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin security patterns and gas optimization for 30-40% lower transaction costs.
Cross-Chain Messaging Layer
Integration with leading interoperability protocols (LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole) for secure asset bridging and message passing. Includes custom relayer infrastructure for sub-30 second cross-chain settlement.
High-Performance Off-Chain Engine
Low-latency matching engine and order book server built in Rust/Go. Delivers sub-100ms order placement and real-time price feeds with 99.9% uptime SLA for institutional trading volumes.
Multi-Chain Frontend & SDK
Responsive, wallet-agnostic interface (React/Next.js) with embedded multi-chain RPC management. Includes TypeScript SDK for easy third-party integration and liquidity onboarding.
Deployment & DevOps Automation
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) for AWS/GCP, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing on forked mainnets. Ensures repeatable, secure deployments across EVM and non-EVM chains in under 3 weeks.
Typical 12-Week Delivery Timeline
A transparent breakdown of our phased delivery process for a production-ready cross-chain DEX, from architecture to mainnet launch.

Discovery & Architecture | Weeks 1-2 | Technical spec, chain selection, tokenomics review | Requirements sign-off, team alignment |
Core Smart Contract Development | Weeks 3-6 | Bridge/LayerZero contracts, AMM pools, governance module | Weekly sprint reviews, feedback on testnet deploys |
Frontend & Backend Integration | Weeks 7-9 | React/Next.js UI, price oracles, indexer APIs | UX/UI feedback, integration testing |
Security Audit & Testing | Weeks 10-11 | Full audit report, penetration testing, bug bounty setup | Audit review, final approval for fixes |
Mainnet Launch & Handover | Week 12 | Production deployment, monitoring dashboard, documentation | Go-live support, operational handoff |
Integrated Security & Audit Process
Our security-first development lifecycle embeds formal verification and third-party audits at every stage, ensuring your cross-chain DEX is resilient against exploits and ready for mainnet deployment.
Formal Verification
Mathematical proof of critical contract logic correctness using tools like Certora Prover and K-Framework. Guarantees invariants hold for swap math, slippage controls, and fund custody.
Continuous Monitoring & Incident Response
24/7 on-chain monitoring with Forta Network bots and custom alerting for anomalous transactions. Includes a pre-defined IR playbook for rapid response to potential threats.
Gas Optimization & Cost Analysis
In-depth profiling to reduce user transaction costs by 15-40%. We analyze and optimize cross-chain message passing, storage patterns, and complex swap logic for maximum efficiency.
Third-Party Bridge & Oracle Security
Architecture review and risk assessment for integrated third-party services (Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, LayerZero). We implement fail-safes and circuit breakers to mitigate external dependency risks.
Post-Deployment Security Maintenance
Ongoing support including dependency updates, monitoring rule tuning, and scheduled re-audits for major upgrades. Ensures long-term protocol health against evolving threats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for building a custom cross-chain decentralized exchange.
A standard cross-chain DEX with core features (multi-chain liquidity pools, bridging, basic UI) typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. Complex protocols with advanced features like concentrated liquidity, limit orders, or novel governance models can take 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial discovery phase.
