CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a minimum viable product (MVP) in 2-4 weeks.

  • Security-First Development: Code written in Solidity 0.8+ or Rust, following OpenZeppelin standards and undergoing rigorous internal audits before deployment.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Contracts are delivered with comprehensive testing suites and ready-to-use frontend hooks for ethers.js or web3.js.
  • Gas Optimization: Every contract is optimized for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40% compared to boilerplate implementations.

We don't just write code; we deliver the secure, auditable foundation your DeFi, NFT, or on-chain application requires to scale with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our consulting process, security, and outcomes for your multi-chain governance project.

Our process follows four phases: 1. Discovery & Design (1-2 weeks): We analyze your governance model and target chains to architect the bridge. 2. Smart Contract Development (3-5 weeks): We build and internally audit the core bridge and governance relay contracts. 3. Security & Testing (2-3 weeks): We conduct formal verification and facilitate third-party audits. 4. Deployment & Integration (1-2 weeks): We deploy the bridge and integrate it with your existing DAO tooling. Most projects launch in 8-12 weeks.
