FOUNDATION
Blockchain Infrastructure Development
Build secure, scalable, and reliable blockchain backends for your Web3 applications.
A robust infrastructure is not a feature; it's the non-negotiable foundation for user trust and platform growth.
- Node & Validator Orchestration: Automated deployment and management of
Ethereum,Polygon,Solana, andAvalanchenodes with multi-cloud redundancy. - Indexing & Data Pipelines: Custom
The Graphsubgraphs and high-performance APIs for real-time, queryable on-chain data. - Relayer & Gas Management: Optimized meta-transaction systems and gas sponsorship to abstract wallet complexity for end-users.
- Security-First Architecture: Implementation of private RPC endpoints, rate limiting, and DDoS protection from day one.

Architectural Decision for Media NFTs
Build a Parachain vs. Use a Generic Smart Contract Platform
Choosing the right infrastructure foundation is critical for media NFT platforms. This comparison highlights the strategic advantages of a custom Substrate parachain over a generic smart contract platform for projects requiring high performance, specialized economics, and long-term sovereignty.
| Key Factor | Generic Smart Contract Platform (e.g., EVM) | Custom Substrate Parachain |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Launch | 2-4 weeks | 8-12 weeks |
Custom Token Economics & Fees | Limited by host chain | Fully customizable |
Transaction Throughput & Finality | Shared, variable (< 30 TPS typical) | Dedicated, predictable (1,000+ TPS, ~6s finality) |
Upgradeability & Governance | Limited, often requires migrations | Forkless runtime upgrades, on-chain governance |
Long-term Cost & Control | Ongoing gas fees, vendor lock-in | One-time auction bond, full sovereignty |
Native Cross-Chain Interoperability | Via bridges (security risk) | Native via XCMP (Polkadot ecosystem) |
Specialized Media NFT Features | Requires complex workarounds | Built-in primitives for provenance, royalties, streaming |
Team Expertise Required | Solidity/Vyper developers | Rust/Substrate developers (we provide) |
Typical Total Cost (Year 1) | $50K-$200K (dev + gas) | $250K-$500K (development & auction) |
Strategic Outcome | Fast MVP, constrained scaling | Foundation for a sovereign, scalable media ecosystem |
