Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
From concept to mainnet, we ensure your logic is secure, gas-optimized, and future-proof.
- Token Systems: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155with advanced features like vesting, staking, and governance. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, yield aggregators, and derivative contracts.
- Enterprise Logic: Supply chain tracking, asset tokenization, and custom business logic with multi-signature controls.
Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and is structured for seamless integration with frontends and off-chain systems. We provide comprehensive documentation and deployment support.

PREDICTABLE & TRANSPARENT
Our Porting Process
A structured, four-phase methodology designed for technical leaders. We deliver production-ready firmware with zero surprises, from initial assessment to final deployment.
01
Architecture & Feasibility Analysis
We conduct a deep technical audit of your existing ARM Cortex codebase to map dependencies, identify hardware abstraction layers, and create a detailed porting roadmap. This upfront analysis prevents costly scope changes later.

Core Kernel & Driver Porting
Our engineers port the RTOS kernel (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), peripheral drivers (SPI, I2C, UART), and board support packages (BSP) to the target RISC-V SoC. We focus on maintaining API compatibility and deterministic real-time behavior.

Firmware Porting FAQs
Answers to common questions about our RISC-V and ARM Cortex firmware porting process, timelines, and deliverables.
A standard port for a single device model takes 2-4 weeks from initial code analysis to validated production-ready firmware. Complex projects with multiple peripherals or custom hardware integrations may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial architecture review.
