We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment on EVM or Solana.
Custom Blockchain Explorer Backend Development
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2 weeks for an MVP.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial architecture and
Solidity/Rustdevelopment to deployment, verification, and post-launch monitoring. - Compliance & Standards: Built-in support for
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom logic with regulatory considerations. - Measurable Outcomes: Achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, reduce gas costs by up to 40% via optimization, and pass third-party audits on the first review.
Core Capabilities We Deliver
We build robust, high-performance backend systems that power your blockchain data layer. Our solutions are designed for enterprise-grade reliability, real-time performance, and seamless integration.
Real-Time Data Indexing Engine
Custom-built indexers that process and structure on-chain data in real-time. We support EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana, delivering sub-second latency for transaction, block, and event data.
Secure & Scalable API Layer
REST and GraphQL APIs with rate limiting, authentication, and comprehensive documentation. Built for high concurrency to support your application's user base without performance degradation.
Advanced Analytics & Aggregation
Go beyond basic queries with aggregated metrics, wallet profiling, token flow analysis, and custom dashboards. Transform raw chain data into actionable business intelligence.
Modular & Extensible Architecture
Future-proof your explorer with a microservices-based backend. Easily add support for new chains, data types, or features like NFT metadata enrichment without rebuilding from scratch.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Infrastructure built with security-first principles. Includes DDoS protection, data encryption at rest and in transit, and audit trails. Designed to meet enterprise security standards.
Managed Deployment & DevOps
We handle the entire lifecycle: cloud infrastructure setup (AWS/GCP), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, and 24/7 incident response. You own the code, we manage the ops.
Why Build a Custom Explorer Backend?
Off-the-shelf explorers lack the custom data, performance, and security required for production-grade applications. We build purpose-driven backends that power your unique use case.
Tailored Data Indexing
We configure indexers to capture and structure the exact on-chain data you need—from custom token standards to complex DeFi events—ensuring your frontend has fast, relevant data.
Enterprise-Grade Reliability
Deploy with confidence. Our backends are built on fault-tolerant architectures with automated failover, delivering the 24/7 uptime your users and partners demand.
Enhanced Security Posture
Go beyond public APIs. A dedicated backend isolates your data pipeline, implements strict access controls, and undergoes regular security audits to protect sensitive query patterns.
Scalable Architecture
Our modular systems scale horizontally to handle surging transaction volumes and new chains, future-proofing your explorer against growth without performance degradation.
Cost-Effective Operations
Eliminate per-query fees from third-party services. A custom backend provides predictable, controlled infrastructure costs that scale linearly with your usage.
Faster Time-to-Market
Leverage our pre-built modules for common chains (EVM, Solana, Cosmos) and rapid deployment pipelines to launch a production-ready backend in weeks, not months.

Our Development Process
A structured, milestone-driven approach to deliver a production-ready, scalable blockchain explorer backend. We focus on clear communication and technical excellence at every stage.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We analyze your target chain (EVM, Solana, Cosmos SDK, etc.) and data requirements to design a scalable, cost-efficient backend architecture. This includes defining indexing strategies, API schemas, and database models.
Core Indexer & API Development
Development of robust indexers using The Graph, Subsquid, or custom solutions to ingest on-chain data. We build performant REST/GraphQL APIs with features like real-time WebSocket feeds and complex querying.
Security & Performance Audits
Comprehensive security review of the data pipeline and API endpoints. We conduct load testing to ensure the backend handles high-throughput demands and stress test for network congestion scenarios.
Deployment & Monitoring
We deploy the backend to your preferred cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) with full CI/CD automation. We implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and logging using tools like Grafana and Prometheus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on development timelines, costs, and technical capabilities for your custom blockchain explorer backend project.
A standard deployment for a custom blockchain explorer backend takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production-ready delivery. This includes requirements analysis, architecture design, core development, testing, and deployment. Complex integrations (e.g., multi-chain support, advanced analytics) can extend this to 10-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial consultation.
