overview
SECURE FOUNDATIONS

Smart Contract Development

Enterprise-grade smart contract development with formal verification and gas optimization.

We build custom, audited smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process ensures security-first architecture and predictable gas costs from day one.

  • Protocols & Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom implementations.
  • Security: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries, following Consensys best practices. Includes pre-audit design reviews.
  • Optimization: Gas-efficient code patterns and storage optimization to minimize user transaction fees.

Deliver production-ready contracts in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for deployed systems.

Expert Answers for Technical Leaders

IBC Consulting: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on our Inter-Blockchain Communication consulting process, timelines, and deliverables. These are the questions our clients—CTOs and engineering leads at scaling Web3 startups—ask most frequently.

Our process follows a structured 4-phase methodology proven across 20+ IBC projects:

  1. Discovery & Architecture (1-2 weeks): We analyze your chain's state machine, consensus, and tokenomics to design a custom IBC light client and relayer strategy.
  2. Core Development (3-5 weeks): Our team implements IBC/TAO (Transport, Authentication, Ordering) modules in Go or Rust, including packet encoding/decoding logic.
  3. Testing & Security (2-3 weeks): We conduct adversarial testing, simulate network partitions, and integrate with IBC-Go testnets. All code undergoes internal review against the IBC specification.
  4. Deployment & Go-Live (1 week): We assist with mainnet deployment, coordinate with relayers like Hermes or GoRelayer, and provide go-live monitoring.
