CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
Reduce your time-to-market by deploying a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks.
Our development lifecycle includes:
- Security-First Design: Implementation of
OpenZeppelinstandards and formal verification patterns. - Gas Optimization: Code reviews focused on minimizing transaction costs for end-users.
- Full Testing Suite: Comprehensive unit and integration tests for
EVMand non-EVM chains. - Deployment & Verification: Hands-on deployment to mainnet and testnets with full source code verification.
We specialize in token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending/borrowing, staking), and custom governance systems. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage internal audit before we recommend third-party review.

Core Security & Management Capabilities
Our security-first approach combines institutional-grade key management with battle-tested node operations, ensuring your staking assets are protected and performant.
01
Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration
Safeguard validator keys with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs. Keys are generated, stored, and signed offline, eliminating single points of failure and exposure to network attacks.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Security-First Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready staking infrastructure with institutional-grade security, built on a repeatable, audited process trusted by leading protocols.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We begin with a comprehensive threat assessment to design a resilient, multi-layered node architecture. This includes defining security perimeters, failover strategies, and disaster recovery plans specific to your chosen consensus mechanism (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos).

Staking Security & Key Management FAQ
Addressing the critical questions CTOs and infrastructure leads ask when securing high-value staking operations.
We implement a multi-layered, audited process. Key generation occurs in isolated, air-gapped hardware security modules (HSMs) using certified entropy sources. Private keys never touch networked systems. For storage, we use a combination of geographically distributed, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs and Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) with a 3-of-5 threshold held by designated, vetted officers. This approach has secured over $500M+ in staked assets across 50+ node deployments.
