PREDICTABLE, AUDITABLE, AND SECURE
Our Four-Phase Delivery Methodology
We deliver your compliant tax engine with a transparent, milestone-driven process. Each phase is designed for maximum security, regulatory alignment, and rapid integration into your existing DeFi payment stack.
01
Phase 1: Discovery & Regulatory Mapping
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your target jurisdictions (e.g., US, EU, APAC) and payment flows to map FATF Travel Rule, IRS 6050I, and MiCA requirements. This phase defines the precise tax logic and reporting obligations for your platform.

Phase 2: Architecture & Smart Contract Audit
Our engineers design the system architecture, separating core payment logic from the tax calculation engine. All smart contracts undergo a formal security audit by a third-party firm (e.g., Spearbit, Code4rena) before a single line of production code is written.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and tailored to your application's unique requirements. From ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 NFTs to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance systems, we translate your business rules into immutable on-chain logic.
Every contract undergoes a rigorous security-first development lifecycle, from initial design to final audit, ensuring your core business logic is protected.
- Security Audits: All code is reviewed against common vulnerabilities and tested with tools like Slither and Foundry.
- Gas Optimization: We minimize transaction costs through efficient coding patterns and storage strategies.
- Full Documentation: Receive comprehensive technical specs and user guides for your team and community.
- Maintenance & Upgrades: We support post-deployment with monitoring, bug fixes, and upgradeable contract patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions on DeFi Tax Compliance
Get clear answers on how our compliance-first tax engine integrates with your DeFi payment flows, from implementation to ongoing reporting.
We provide a modular API-first architecture. Integration typically involves connecting your smart contract events to our secure ingestion layer via webhooks or direct RPC. Our SDKs for Solidity and Rust handle transaction normalization, while our REST API delivers real-time tax calculations. We support EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana out of the box.
