overview
CORE ENGINEERING

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and DAOs. Our engineers specialize in Solidity, Rust (Solana), and Move (Aptos/Sui) to deliver gas-optimized, secure code from day one.

Reduce your time-to-market with battle-tested patterns and a 2-week MVP delivery guarantee for standard implementations.

  • Security-First Development: Code follows OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes internal review before your audit.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Contracts are delivered with deployment scripts, test suites, and frontend SDKs (ethers.js/web3.js).
  • Protocol Specialization: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Staking Vaults, and custom governance modules.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Methodology for Risk Mitigation

We employ a structured, multi-phase approach to de-risk your state channel migration or protocol upgrade, ensuring zero downtime and zero loss of funds. Our methodology is built on battle-tested processes refined across 50+ successful mainnet deployments.

01

Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit

We conduct a full security and compatibility analysis of your existing state channel logic and smart contracts. This includes formal verification of off-chain state transitions and a rigorous review of the new protocol's specifications to identify edge cases and potential vulnerabilities before a single line of code is written.

02

Staged Canary Deployment

We deploy the upgraded network in isolated, controlled environments—starting with private testnets, moving to incentivized testnets, and finally a phased mainnet rollout. This allows for real-world testing and monitoring without exposing your main user base or capital to risk.

Technical & Commercial Questions

State Channel Migration FAQs

Answers to common questions from CTOs and technical leads planning a state channel network upgrade or migration.

Our 4-phase process is designed for minimal downtime: 1. Discovery & Audit (1-2 weeks): We analyze your existing contracts and network topology. 2. Architecture & Planning (1 week): We design the migration path, finalize specs, and create a rollback plan. 3. Development & Testing (2-3 weeks): We build, unit test, and run integration tests on a forked mainnet. 4. Deployment & Monitoring (1 week): We execute the migration, monitor the new network, and provide post-launch support. We assign a dedicated technical lead and use a shared project dashboard for transparency.
