CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists for your protocol or dApp.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial architecture and gas optimization to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
- Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes internal audits and formal verification, preparing it for third-party audits by firms like
CertiKorTrail of Bits. - Protocol Expertise: We build for
EVMchains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) andSolana, including tokens (ERC-20,ERC-721), DeFi primitives, DAOs, and complex cross-chain logic.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-efficient smart contract suite in 4-6 weeks, accelerating your path to mainnet launch.

Our Implementation Process
A structured, four-phase methodology designed to deliver secure, scalable state channel solutions from concept to mainnet launch. We focus on rapid iteration and risk mitigation to ensure your payment layer is ready for real-world volume.
01
Architecture & Design Review
We conduct a deep technical analysis of your use case to design the optimal state channel architecture. This includes selecting the right framework (e.g., Nitro, Connext), defining dispute resolution logic, and planning for multi-asset support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how we design, build, and secure high-performance off-chain solutions for your payment infrastructure.
From specification to mainnet deployment, a standard payment channel system takes 3-6 weeks. This includes 1 week for architecture design, 2-3 weeks for core smart contract and off-chain logic development, 1 week for internal security review, and 1 week for integration and deployment. Complex multi-party or generalized state channels can extend to 8-10 weeks.
