We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment on EVM-compatible chains or Solana.
Cairo StarkNet Rollup for Institutions
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- From Concept to Mainnet: We handle the full lifecycle, from initial design and
Solidity/Rustdevelopment to deployment and verification. - Security as Standard: Every contract undergoes static analysis, formal verification checks, and a multi-signature review process.
- Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption and protocol sustainability.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and performant smart contract foundation in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.
Core Technical Capabilities
We architect and deploy production-ready Cairo StarkNet rollups with institutional-grade security, scalability, and compliance. Our full-stack expertise ensures your application inherits the full power of Ethereum's security with zero-knowledge scalability.
Custom Cairo Smart Contract Development
We design, develop, and audit high-performance Cairo smart contracts for DeFi, gaming, and institutional finance. Our contracts leverage StarkNet's zk-rollup architecture for provably secure, low-cost transactions.
Full-Stack Rollup Deployment & Orchestration
End-to-end rollup deployment, from sequencer and prover configuration to L1-L2 bridge integration. We manage the entire stack, ensuring optimal performance and seamless interoperability with Ethereum mainnet.
Institutional Security & Auditing
Comprehensive security review and formal verification of your Cairo codebase. We implement multi-sig governance, rate limiting, and real-time monitoring to meet institutional risk and compliance requirements.
High-Performance Prover Optimization
We optimize your STARK proof generation for speed and cost-efficiency. Our configurations reduce proving times and gas costs for L1 settlement, critical for high-throughput applications like order-book DEXs.
Custom Indexing & Data Availability Layers
Build real-time dashboards and analytics with custom indexers for your rollup's state. We implement robust data availability solutions, ensuring verifiable access to transaction history and application state.
Business Outcomes for Your Institution
Our institutional-grade StarkNet rollup service delivers measurable results, from accelerated time-to-market to robust security and predictable costs.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Deploy a fully managed, production-ready StarkNet rollup in under 4 weeks. We handle Cairo smart contract development, sequencer setup, and full-stack integration, allowing your team to focus on product logic.
Institutional Security & Compliance
Built with enterprise security posture. Smart contracts are developed using OpenZeppelin Cairo libraries and undergo mandatory audits by firms like Nethermind. Includes comprehensive key management and monitoring.
Predictable Cost Structure
Eliminate variable L1 gas cost volatility with a fixed-fee sequencer model. Achieve up to 100x lower transaction costs compared to Ethereum mainnet, enabling new micro-transaction business models.
High-Throughput Scalability
Process thousands of transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality. Our optimized Cairo VM and sequencer configuration support high-frequency trading, gaming, and mass-market DeFi applications.
Dedicated Technical Partnership
Gain a direct line to our Cairo and StarkNet core developers. We provide architectural reviews, performance tuning, and roadmap advisory, acting as an extension of your engineering team.

Our Delivery Methodology
We deliver production-ready StarkNet rollups with a structured, transparent process designed for enterprise security, compliance, and time-to-market requirements.
Architecture & Design Sprint
We conduct a 2-week collaborative sprint to define your rollup's architecture, data availability layer, and sequencer strategy, ensuring a scalable foundation from day one.
Core Cairo Development
Our certified Cairo developers build and optimize your custom logic—from high-throughput AMMs to KYC modules—using battle-tested patterns and formal verification.
Security & Audit Integration
Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review followed by a formal audit with a top-tier firm like Nethermind or Quantstamp, with findings remediated before mainnet.
Infrastructure Deployment
We provision and configure the full node stack—provers, sequencers, RPC endpoints—with enterprise-grade monitoring, logging, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Compliance & Integration Layer
We implement institutional requirements: on-chain privacy with StarkEx, real-time AML screening feeds, and secure fiat on/off-ramp integrations.
Handover & Ongoing Support
We provide comprehensive documentation, team training, and offer retainer-based support packages for maintenance, upgrades, and scaling.

Frequently Asked Questions for Technical Leaders
Technical and operational details for CTOs and engineering leads evaluating institutional-grade StarkNet rollup development.
For a standard institutional rollup with custom business logic, the typical timeline is 6-10 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 2 weeks for architecture & design, 3-4 weeks for core Cairo contract development, 1-2 weeks for security audit integration, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and final testing. We deliver a staging environment for client testing by week 4.
