Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built on a foundation of battle-tested security and gas optimization.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and formal verification practices to ensure security from day one.

  • Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes multi-stage audits (automated, manual, peer-review) before deployment.
  • Gas Optimization: We specialize in writing highly efficient code that reduces transaction costs by up to 40% for end-users.
  • Full-Stack Integration: We deliver contracts ready to integrate with your front-end, including comprehensive documentation and testing suites.

We don't just write code; we engineer resilient financial infrastructure with verifiable security guarantees.

Our team has deployed over 200+ contracts across EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana, handling everything from simple ERC-20 tokens to complex cross-chain bridges and automated market makers (AMMs). We provide post-deployment monitoring and incident response to protect your protocol's integrity.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from token standards to complex DeFi logic.

We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that are secure by design. Every line of code is built on battle-tested patterns using Solidity 0.8+ and audited libraries like OpenZeppelin.

  • Custom Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and beyond with tailored minting, vesting, and governance logic.
  • DeFi & dApp Logic: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, yield aggregators, and multi-signature wallets.
  • Full Audit Trail: Comprehensive unit testing, integration testing, and preparation for third-party security audits.

We don't just write code; we deliver verifiable security and gas-optimized performance that protects your users and your treasury.

Our process ensures your contracts are deployable in 2-4 weeks, with clear documentation and a handover that empowers your team. We focus on future-proof architecture that scales with your protocol's growth.

IBC Setup & Relayer FAQs

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions about our Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) deployment and relayer management services.

A standard IBC v1 connection between two Cosmos SDK chains typically takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes channel configuration, relayer setup, and security hardening. Complex multi-chain hubs or custom IBC applications can extend this to 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during scoping.
