CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your protocol. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits before deployment to EVM or Solana networks.

  • End-to-End Development: From specification and Solidity/Rust coding to testing and mainnet deployment.
  • Security Audits: Internal review against common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow) before third-party audits.
  • Gas Optimization: Code crafted for minimum transaction costs and maximum efficiency.
  • Upgradeability: Implementation of secure upgrade patterns (Proxy, Diamond) for future-proof contracts.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-efficient smart contract system in as little as 4-6 weeks.

Core Capabilities of Our Bridge Watcher Service

Our Bridge Watcher & Validator Nodes deliver continuous, high-fidelity validation for cross-chain transactions. We provide the critical infrastructure to secure your assets and ensure operational integrity across any L1/L2 bridge.

01

Real-Time State Validation

Continuous monitoring of bridge contract states and mempools across all connected chains. We detect and alert on anomalies like double-spend attempts, non-finalized deposits, or invalid merkle proofs within seconds, preventing loss before it occurs.
