Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for building a custom blockchain payment rail.
A minimum viable payment rail with core settlement and wallet functions typically takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. Complex features like multi-asset support, advanced governance, or cross-chain bridges can extend this to 12-16 weeks. We follow a phased delivery model with bi-weekly sprints, providing a live testnet environment for client review after 3 weeks.
