CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production by Web3-native engineers.
- Full-Stack Development: From
ERC-20tokens andERC-721NFTs to complex DeFi primitives and DAO governance systems. - Security-First Process: Development with
OpenZeppelinlibraries, followed by third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp. - Gas Optimization: Expert-level code reviews to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption.
- Production Ready: Contracts are deployed with comprehensive testing, monitoring, and upgradeability plans using proxies.
We deliver battle-tested contracts that power live protocols, reducing your time-to-market from months to as little as 4-6 weeks for an MVP.
