Rollup Virtual Machine Customization

Tailor your rollup's execution environment. We modify EVM, Cairo, Move, and other VMs to introduce custom precompiles, optimize gas semantics, and build application-specific rollups that outperform generic solutions.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and regulatory compliance from day one.

  • Audit-Ready Code: Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, following best practices for formal verification.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Full test suites with 95%+ coverage, including edge cases and mainnet fork simulations.
  • Deployment & Management: Automated deployment pipelines, upgradeability patterns (Transparent/UUPS), and on-chain monitoring.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and maintainable codebase in 4-6 weeks, reducing your time-to-market and technical risk.

ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE

Our Rollup VM Customization Capabilities

We architect and deploy purpose-built virtual machines that align with your application's specific logic, security, and performance requirements, moving beyond generic frameworks.

02

State Transition Logic

Define bespoke rules for how your rollup processes transactions and updates state. We build deterministic execution environments optimized for DeFi order matching, gaming mechanics, or high-frequency trading logic.

Why Customization Matters

Custom VM vs. Generic Rollup: A Technical & Business Comparison

Choosing the right rollup architecture is a foundational decision. This comparison highlights the key technical and business trade-offs between a generic, off-the-shelf solution and a custom virtual machine tailored to your application's specific needs.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Methodology for Rollup VM Development

We deliver production-ready rollup virtual machines through a structured, security-first development lifecycle designed for rapid deployment and long-term reliability.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We analyze your application's specific needs to design a VM architecture optimized for your use case—whether it's a high-throughput DEX, a gaming L2, or a private enterprise chain. This includes selecting the optimal base (EVM, SVM, Cairo VM) and customizing opcodes.

Frequently Asked Questions on Rollup VM Customization

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for your custom rollup development project.

A standard rollup deployment with a custom virtual machine takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design, 2-4 weeks for core VM development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for testing, security audits, and deployment. For complex, high-throughput applications requiring novel opcodes or consensus modifications, timelines can extend to 12+ weeks. We provide a detailed, phased project plan at the start of every engagement.
