overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that form the foundation of your protocol. Our development process ensures gas efficiency, upgradability, and comprehensive security from day one.

  • Custom Logic: Build on ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 or bespoke standards.
  • Security First: Adhere to OpenZeppelin patterns and prepare for formal audits.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and monitoring.

Deploy a battle-tested MVP in as little as 2-3 weeks, with a clear path to mainnet launch.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Integration Methodology

Our battle-tested, four-phase methodology ensures your NEAR shard-powered PoS integration is delivered on time, on budget, and with enterprise-grade security. We focus on delivering tangible business outcomes, not just technical implementation.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your existing PoS system and design a shard-aware architecture. This includes defining shard boundaries, cross-shard communication protocols, and data consistency models to maximize NEAR's scalability for your specific use case.

Core Smart Contract Development

Our team builds and audits the core on-chain logic for your PoS system using Rust. We implement shard-specific contracts for staking, delegation, rewards distribution, and slashing, ensuring they are optimized for NEAR's gas model and shard architecture.

Shard-Aware Backend Integration

We develop the off-chain indexers, oracles, and relay services that bridge your existing infrastructure with the NEAR blockchain. This layer handles complex cross-shard queries, event listening, and state synchronization with sub-second latency.

Security Audit & Mainnet Deployment

Every integration undergoes a rigorous multi-stage security review, including internal audits and optional third-party verification. We then manage the phased mainnet deployment, including shard configuration, contract migration, and monitoring setup.

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 chains, from ERC-20 tokens to complex DeFi primitives. Our contracts are built with Solidity 0.8+ or Rust, leveraging OpenZeppelin libraries and security-first design patterns.

Deliver a battle-tested, gas-optimized contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by a comprehensive audit report.

  • Security-First Development: Formal verification, automated testing, and third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Development, deployment, monitoring, and upgrade management via Transparent Proxies.
  • Compliance Ready: Built-in support for ERC-1400 (security tokens), ERC-721A (gas-efficient NFTs), and regulatory hooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for integrating your project with NEAR's sharded Proof-of-Stake network.

A standard integration for a new dApp or protocol takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, shard-aware state management, and rigorous testing. Migrating an existing application from another chain typically adds 1-2 weeks for code adaptation and data migration planning.
