DEX Smart Contract Development
Core DEX Smart Contract Capabilities
Automated Market Maker (AMM) Core
Custom-built AMM logic (Constant Product, StableSwap, Concentrated Liquidity) with sub-1% swap fees and MEV-resistant transaction ordering. We implement proven patterns from Uniswap V3 and Curve for predictable, efficient trading.
Liquidity Pool Management
Secure, non-custodial liquidity pools with dynamic fee tiers, impermanent loss mitigation strategies, and single-sided staking options. Includes robust reward distribution and slashing mechanisms for LPs.
Router & Swap Engine
Gas-optimized router contracts for complex multi-hop swaps, optimal pathfinding, and slippage protection. Supports flash swaps and integration with external liquidity sources like Chainlink oracles.
Security & Audit Readiness
Contracts developed with Solidity 0.8+ security features, comprehensive unit/integration tests (>95% coverage), and structured for formal verification. Delivered with a detailed audit report from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
Upgradeability & Maintenance
Modular architecture using proxy patterns (Transparent/UUPS) for seamless, secure upgrades without migrating liquidity. Includes emergency pause mechanisms and multi-sig admin controls.
Business Outcomes for Your DEX
We translate technical development into measurable business results. Our DEX smart contract development delivers specific, verifiable outcomes that drive growth and reduce risk.
Faster Time-to-Market
Go from concept to mainnet in under 4 weeks with our battle-tested DEX templates and rapid deployment pipeline. We handle the core infrastructure so you can focus on product-market fit.
Enterprise-Grade Security
All DEX contracts undergo mandatory third-party audits (e.g., CertiK, Halborn) and formal verification. We implement OpenZeppelin standards and provide a post-deployment security monitoring dashboard.
Optimized Operational Cost
Our gas-optimized contracts and efficient architecture reduce user transaction fees by up to 40% compared to standard implementations, directly improving user retention and trading volume.
High-Performance Liquidity
Achieve sub-second trade execution and support for 10,000+ TPS with our optimized AMM logic and layer-2 integration strategies (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base).
Compliance & Future-Proofing
Build with regulatory considerations in mind. Our contracts include upgradeability patterns (Transparent Proxy) and modular design for easy integration of new features like limit orders or cross-chain swaps.
Dedicated Technical Ownership
Receive full source code ownership, comprehensive documentation, and 6 months of post-launch support with a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical contract functions.

Technology & Protocol Stack
We engineer DEX smart contracts on battle-tested protocols with enterprise-grade security and performance. Our stack is chosen for reliability, composability, and gas efficiency to ensure your exchange is scalable and secure from day one.
Gas Optimization
We implement advanced gas-saving techniques including contract size minimization, efficient storage patterns, and batch operations to reduce user transaction costs by 15-40% compared to naive implementations.
Multi-Chain Deployment
Deploy your DEX across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and other EVM-compatible L2s. We handle chain-specific optimizations and cross-chain messaging (LayerZero, Axelar) for unified liquidity.
Security-First Development Process
Our development methodology is engineered for production-grade security, ensuring your DEX contracts are resilient, compliant, and ready for independent audit from the first commit.
Gas Optimization & Efficiency
Every function is optimized for minimal gas consumption, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40% compared to unoptimized implementations.

Our Development Methodology
We deliver production-ready DEX smart contracts through a rigorous, security-first development lifecycle designed for enterprise-grade reliability and rapid deployment.
Architecture & Design Review
We begin with a collaborative deep-dive into your tokenomics, liquidity model, and security requirements. Our architects design modular, upgradeable contracts using battle-tested patterns from leading protocols like Uniswap V3 and Curve.
Secure Development & Testing
Contracts are built in Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries. Every function undergoes unit, integration, and scenario testing (e.g., flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation) using Foundry and Hardhat, achieving >95% branch coverage before audit.
Gas Optimization & Deployment
We perform final gas profiling and optimization, reducing user transaction costs by 15-40% versus unaudited implementations. We then handle the secure deployment, verification, and initialization on your target chain (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, etc.).
Monitoring & Incident Response
Post-launch, we implement real-time monitoring for contract events, liquidity health, and anomalous activity via Chainscore's dashboards. Our team is on-call with a 1-hour SLA for critical incident response.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
We deliver comprehensive technical documentation, admin guides, and a handover session with your engineering team. This ensures you have full ownership and understanding of the system's operation and upgrade paths.
DEX Development FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating DEX development partners. Based on our experience delivering 50+ production protocols.
For a standard Automated Market Maker (AMM) with core features (swap, liquidity pools, basic governance), delivery takes 3-4 weeks. Complex protocols with concentrated liquidity, cross-chain functionality, or advanced tokenomics require 6-10 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint plan within the first week of engagement.
