We architect and deploy secure, gas-optimized smart contracts on Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana. Our development process integrates formal verification and automated testing from day one, ensuring your core logic is battle-tested before mainnet deployment.
Cross-Border Settlement Chain Development
Smart Contract Development
Production-ready smart contracts built with security-first engineering and comprehensive audit support.
- Custom Tokenomics & DeFi Protocols:
ERC-20,ERC-721, AMMs, staking, and governance systems. - Security-First Development: Built with
Solidity 0.8+and OpenZeppelin standards, following industry best practices. - Full Audit Readiness: We deliver code with comprehensive documentation and test coverage, prepared for third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
Reduce your time-to-audit by 50% and launch with confidence. We manage the entire lifecycle from architecture to post-deployment monitoring.
Core Technical Capabilities
We deliver production-grade settlement infrastructure with enterprise-grade security and performance. Our solutions are built on battle-tested protocols and audited code, ensuring reliability for high-value transactions.
Multi-Chain Settlement Architecture
Build on a purpose-built, interoperable chain or integrate with existing L1/L2 networks (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum). We design for atomic cross-chain swaps and unified liquidity pools.
Regulatory-Compliant Smart Contracts
Custom smart contracts with built-in compliance hooks (travel rule, sanctions screening) and upgradeable architecture. Audited by leading security firms.
Real-Time FX & Liquidity Oracles
Integrate secure, low-latency price feeds and liquidity aggregators. Our oracles provide sub-second updates with multi-source validation to prevent manipulation.
Institutional-Grade Custody Bridge
Secure, non-custodial bridge architecture connecting to licensed custodians. Features multi-sig governance, time-locks, and real-time transaction monitoring.
Automated Compliance Engine
On-chain and off-chain rule engine for automated AML/KYC checks, transaction monitoring, and reporting. Reduces manual review by over 80%.
Scalable Node Infrastructure
Managed, geo-distributed validator nodes and RPC endpoints with load balancing and failover. Includes monitoring, alerts, and 24/7 DevOps support.
Business Outcomes for Your Institution
Our cross-border settlement chain development delivers measurable improvements to your operational efficiency, cost structure, and compliance posture.
Reduced Settlement Latency
Move from T+2 days to near-instant finality with a purpose-built blockchain. Eliminate counterparty risk and free up capital trapped in transit.
Lower Transaction Costs
Cut intermediary fees by 60-80% by automating correspondent banking logic into smart contracts. Predictable, transparent pricing replaces opaque FX and network fees.
Enhanced Compliance & Audit Trail
Built-in KYC/AML modules and an immutable ledger provide a single source of truth for regulators. Automated reporting reduces manual reconciliation efforts.
Increased Operational Resilience
Decentralized architecture eliminates single points of failure. Achieve 99.9% uptime SLA with geo-distributed validator nodes and automated failover.
Faster Time-to-Market for New Products
Leverage our modular settlement framework to launch new corridors or financial instruments in weeks, not months. Programmable money enables innovative services.
Interoperability with Legacy Systems
Seamless integration via enterprise-grade APIs and ISO 20022-compliant messaging bridges. Connect your existing core banking and treasury management systems.
Dedicated Appchain vs. Generic Smart Contracts
A technical and operational comparison to guide your infrastructure choice for cross-border settlement. Dedicated appchains offer sovereignty and performance, while generic smart contracts provide faster initial deployment.
| Architecture Factor | Generic Smart Contracts (L1/L2) | Dedicated Settlement Appchain |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Deployment | 2-4 weeks | 6-12 weeks |
Transaction Throughput (TPS) | Limited by host chain (15-100 TPS) | Customizable (1,000+ TPS achievable) |
Transaction Cost Control | Subject to host chain gas volatility | Fixed, predictable fee structure |
Settlement Finality | Dependent on base layer (e.g., 12s on Ethereum) | Configurable sub-second finality |
Data Sovereignty & Privacy | Limited; data on public ledger | Full control over data visibility and privacy modules |
Upgrade Flexibility & Governance | Immutable or limited upgrade paths | Tailored governance for seamless protocol upgrades |
Cross-Chain Interoperability | Native to the deployed chain only | Built-in, custom bridges to required payment rails (SWIFT, CBDCs, etc.) |
Regulatory Compliance Integration | Difficult to embed natively | Native KYC/AML/Travel Rule modules at protocol level |
Annual Infrastructure Cost (Est.) | $50K - $200K (gas + hosting) | $150K - $500K+ (infra + specialized devops) |
Ideal Use Case | MVP, low-volume pilot, proving concept | Production-scale, high-volume, regulated financial settlement |
Our Development and Delivery Process
We deliver production-ready cross-border settlement chains with a rigorous, phased approach that ensures security, compliance, and rapid time-to-market for your financial product.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a deep-dive workshop to map your settlement flows, regulatory requirements, and counterparty integrations. The output is a detailed technical specification and architecture diagram for your permissioned chain or L2 solution.
Core Protocol Development
Our engineers build the settlement logic using battle-tested frameworks like Hyperledger Besu, Polygon Edge, or custom EVM rollups. This includes atomic swap modules, multi-signature vaults, and real-time FX oracle integration.
Security & Compliance Audit
Every line of code undergoes internal review followed by a formal audit from partners like CertiK or Quantstamp. We also prepare compliance documentation for financial regulators (e.g., BAFIN, MAS guidelines).
Testnet Deployment & Simulation
We deploy to a dedicated testnet and execute comprehensive load testing, simulating high-volume settlement days and failure scenarios. Clients receive a sandbox environment for integration testing.
Mainnet Launch & Node Orchestration
We manage the secure, phased mainnet rollout, including validator node setup, RPC endpoint provisioning, and block explorer deployment. We provide 24/7 monitoring from day one.
Ongoing Support & Evolution
Your dedicated technical account manager and SRE team provide proactive monitoring, performance optimization, and roadmap planning for upgrades like zero-knowledge proofs or new asset support.
