We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive testing to mitigate risk before mainnet deployment.
Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) for L2s
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Token Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom implementations. - DeFi & DAOs: Automated market makers, staking pools, governance modules.
- Security: Multi-stage audits, formal verification, and gas optimization.
- Delivery: Full technical documentation and deployment scripts included.
From concept to mainnet in as little as 2-4 weeks, with a focus on audit-readiness and long-term maintainability.
Our PBS Architecture & Implementation Services
We architect and implement custom Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) systems for L2s, delivering optimized block production, enhanced censorship resistance, and sustainable revenue models. Our full-service approach ensures your rollup is competitive from day one.
Builder Node Implementation
Deployment of high-performance builder nodes with MEV optimization, efficient transaction bundling, and integration with Flashbots MEV-Boost or custom relay networks. Built for sub-second block assembly.
Proposer & Validator Integration
Seamless integration of PBS logic into your existing validator/sequencer client. We implement secure block proposal, signature verification, and slashing condition management to protect network integrity.
Relay Infrastructure & Security
Deploy and harden secure, high-availability relay infrastructure. Our implementation includes DDoS protection, data attestation, and cryptographic signing to ensure trustless and verifiable block delivery.
Monitoring, Analytics & Governance
Complete observability suite for your PBS ecosystem. Track builder performance, MEV extraction, proposer health, and network economics. Includes tools for parameter tuning and governance proposal simulation.
Business and Protocol Outcomes
Our PBS implementation delivers measurable improvements to your L2's performance, security, and economic model. We focus on outcomes that directly impact your bottom line and protocol health.
Enhanced MEV Capture & Revenue
We architect your PBS system to maximize extractable value for the protocol, not external actors. This creates a sustainable revenue stream from block building, directly boosting your treasury and staking rewards.
Predictable, Low-Cost Transactions
Decoupling block building from proposing eliminates builder-side centralization risks that drive up gas fees. We deliver a stable, low-fee environment critical for DeFi and high-frequency dApps.
Censorship-Resistant Sequencing
Our PBS design enforces credible neutrality at the protocol level. We implement commit-reveal schemes and builder reputation systems to prevent transaction filtering, ensuring your L2 remains permissionless.
Accelerated Block Finality
Optimized proposer-builder communication and relay infrastructure reduce block propagation latency. This results in faster confirmation times, improving user experience for exchanges and payment systems.
Reduced Operational Overhead
We manage the complex relay infrastructure and builder ecosystem integration. Your team focuses on core protocol development while we ensure high availability and performance of the PBS layer.

Our Delivery Process: From Design to Mainnet
A structured, milestone-driven approach to ensure your PBS infrastructure is delivered on time, within scope, and with production-ready reliability. We provide clear visibility at every stage, from initial architecture to mainnet launch.
Phase 1: Architecture & Design Review
We conduct a deep technical assessment of your L2 stack and consensus model to design a PBS architecture that aligns with your performance and decentralization goals. Deliverables include a detailed technical specification and integration roadmap.
Phase 2: Builder & Relay Development
Our team builds and configures your custom builder software and high-performance relay. We implement MEV-boost compatibility, optimize block construction for your L2's fee market, and ensure robust, fault-tolerant operation.
Phase 3: Security Audit & Testing
All critical components undergo rigorous internal testing and a formal security audit by a third-party firm. We simulate mainnet conditions, including load testing and adversarial scenarios, to ensure resilience.
Phase 4: Staged Deployment & Integration
We deploy your PBS infrastructure in a staged manner: starting with a testnet fork, progressing to a closed validator set, and finally a full mainnet launch. We manage integration with your sequencer and validator clients.
Phase 5: Monitoring & Production Support
Post-launch, we provide comprehensive monitoring dashboards, alerting, and 24/7 incident response for your PBS system. Includes performance tuning and ongoing maintenance to ensure 99.9%+ relay uptime.
Phase 6: Validator Onboarding & Documentation
We create detailed technical documentation and runbooks for your validator community. We support the onboarding process to ensure a smooth, decentralized transition to the new PBS ecosystem.
