We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized smart contracts on EVM and Solana. Our development process integrates security-first patterns from day one, ensuring your protocol's logic is both powerful and protected.
Cairo StarkNet Testnet Development Suite
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a market-ready product in as little as 2-4 weeks with our battle-tested templates and rapid iteration cycles.
- Custom Logic:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, DeFi primitives, and bespoke business rules. - Security & Audits: Pre-deployment review using tools like Slither and MythX, plus preparation for third-party audits (e.g., CertiK, Quantstamp).
- Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing (
Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and upgrade management via proxies or diamond patterns.
A Complete Testnet Environment, Delivered
We build, deploy, and manage your dedicated Cairo/StarkNet testnet, providing the full toolchain and infrastructure needed to develop, test, and launch with confidence.
Dedicated Testnet Node Infrastructure
Provisioned, high-availability StarkNet sequencer and RPC nodes. Isolated from public networks for reliable, consistent testing with predictable performance.
- Guaranteed 99.9% uptime SLA for development continuity
- Sub-100ms block times for rapid iteration
- Dedicated RPC endpoints with rate limit control
Integrated Development Toolchain
Pre-configured environment with Cairo, Scarb, Starkli, and Katana. Includes custom faucets, block explorers (Voyager/Starkscan), and monitoring dashboards out-of-the-box.
- Zero-config setup for developer onboarding
- Real-time transaction tracing and debugging
- Automated faucet for seamless test token distribution
Security & Compliance Sandbox
A controlled environment for rigorous security testing. Includes integration with leading audit tools (Slither, Amarna) and patterns for vulnerability simulation.
- Pre-production security scans for Cairo contracts
- Compliance testing for regulatory requirements (e.g., OFAC)
- Gas optimization profiling before mainnet deployment
CI/CD Pipeline & Automation
Automated deployment pipelines for smart contracts and frontends. Includes GitHub Actions workflows, testnet forking, and state management for efficient development cycles.
- Automated contract deployment on every merge
- Testnet state snapshots for reproducible testing
- Performance benchmarking against mainnet conditions
Why Our Testnet Suite Accelerates Development
Our Cairo StarkNet Testnet Suite is engineered to eliminate infrastructure friction, allowing your team to focus on building and validating your core application logic.
Pre-Configured Dev & Test Environments
Deploy a fully isolated, production-like testnet environment in minutes, not weeks. Includes integrated tooling (Voyager, StarkScan), faucets, and a suite of pre-deployed common contracts (ERC-20, ERC-721) for immediate testing.
Deterministic State Management
Our suite provides snapshot and fork capabilities, enabling you to replay specific blockchain states for consistent testing and debugging. Eliminate flaky tests caused by non-deterministic testnet behavior.
Integrated Performance & Load Testing
Benchmark your Cairo contracts under realistic load with built-in tools for measuring TPS, latency, and gas costs. Validate scalability assumptions before mainnet deployment.
Security-First Testing Scaffold
Leverage our hardened test templates incorporating common attack vectors (reentrancy, overflow) and security best practices. Integrates with leading analysis tools for proactive vulnerability detection.
Seamless CI/CD Pipeline Integration
Automate your StarkNet deployment pipeline with our GitHub Actions and GitLab CI templates. Run unit, integration, and security tests on every commit against a fresh testnet instance.
Expert Support & Best Practices
Access to documented migration paths, architectural patterns, and direct support from our StarkNet engineers. We ensure your team follows Cairo-specific best practices for optimal performance.

Our 3-Phase Deployment Process
We deliver your StarkNet testnet environment in a structured, milestone-driven approach, ensuring clarity, security, and rapid time-to-market for your Cairo-based application.
Phase 1: Architecture & Environment Setup
We provision a dedicated StarkNet testnet node (Sepolia/Goerli) and configure your development toolchain. This includes setting up Cairo 1.0+ compilers, Scarb package manager, and Starkli CLI for seamless integration with your CI/CD pipeline.
Phase 2: Smart Contract Development & Testing
Our Cairo experts build and rigorously test your contracts. We implement comprehensive unit and integration tests using Protostar, simulate mainnet conditions, and perform security reviews to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.
Phase 3: Deployment & Monitoring
We deploy your verified contracts to the StarkNet testnet, configure real-time monitoring with our dashboard, and provide detailed performance analytics. This includes tracking transaction success rates, latency, and gas usage patterns.
Ongoing: Production Readiness Review
Before mainnet launch, we conduct a final security and optimization audit. We provide a readiness report with gas cost analysis, failure scenario simulations, and a clear upgrade path for your production contracts.

StarkNet Testnet Development Suite FAQs
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions from CTOs and technical founders evaluating our Cairo & StarkNet testnet development services.
Our standard StarkNet testnet deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet-ready code. This includes smart contract development in Cairo, integration with your front-end, comprehensive testing, and deployment to the StarkNet testnet. Complex protocols with custom logic or novel cryptographic proofs may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint-by-sprint timeline during the initial scoping call.
