overview
CORE SERVICE

Blockchain Infrastructure Development

End-to-end development of secure, scalable blockchain infrastructure for Web3 applications.

We build the foundational layer your application runs on. Our team delivers production-ready infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLAs, enabling you to focus on your product, not the plumbing.

  • Node Infrastructure: Managed RPC/JSON-RPC endpoints, validators, and indexers for EVM, Solana, and Cosmos chains.
  • Smart Contract Backend: Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts with OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive audit trails.
  • Data & Indexing: Custom The Graph subgraphs and real-time data pipelines for on-chain analytics.
  • DevOps & Security: Automated CI/CD, multi-signature wallet setups, and monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana.

Deploy a fully managed testnet in under 48 hours and transition to mainnet with confidence. We handle the complexity so you can scale.

DELIVERABLES & GUARANTEES

Business Outcomes for Your Trading Platform

Our ZK-Rollup settlement layer is engineered to deliver measurable, production-ready advantages. We focus on concrete outcomes that directly impact your platform's performance, security, and bottom line.

01

Sub-Second Finality

Achieve near-instant trade confirmation with our optimized ZK-rollup architecture, eliminating the multi-block wait times of L1 settlement. This directly improves user experience and enables high-frequency trading strategies.

Radically Lower Transaction Costs

Batching thousands of trades into a single L1 proof reduces gas fees per swap by over 90%. Pass these savings to your users to drive volume or retain them as margin to boost profitability.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Mainnet

A structured, transparent 4-phase engagement delivering a production-ready ZK-Rollup settlement layer. We de-risk your DEX launch with clear milestones, guaranteed SLAs, and continuous security validation.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Design

We define your DEX's core parameters: tokenomics, fee models, and consensus mechanisms. Deliverables include a detailed technical specification and a 2-week implementation roadmap.

ZK-Rollup Settlement for DEX

Technical and Commercial FAQs

Answers to the most common technical and commercial questions from CTOs and founders evaluating a custom ZK-Rollup solution.

For a standard ZK-Rollup DEX settlement layer, we deliver a production-ready mainnet deployment in 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture & design, 3-4 weeks for core development and integration, 2 weeks for internal security audits and testing, and 1-2 weeks for client-side integration and final deployment. Complex features like custom privacy circuits or multi-chain bridges can extend this timeline, which we scope and agree upon upfront.
