CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process includes formal verification, gas optimization, and comprehensive testing to ensure security and efficiency. We deliver audit-ready code built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards.

Deploy a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks.

  • Token Systems: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts with minting, vesting, and governance modules.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking mechanisms, and yield aggregators.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, supply chain tracking, and verifiable credential systems.
  • Security First: Every contract undergoes peer review and testing against known attack vectors before delivery.

ENGINEERED FOR MICRO-VOLUME

Core Technical Capabilities

Our Layer 3 infrastructure is purpose-built for high-frequency, low-value transactions. We deliver the technical foundation that makes micropayments viable at scale.

01

Custom State Channels

Off-chain transaction channels with sub-second finality and near-zero fees. We implement custom logic for batched settlements, reducing on-chain footprint by 99% for high-volume payment streams.

ZK-Rollup Integration

Secure, scalable settlement layers using zkEVM or zkSync Stack. We handle the complex setup of provers, sequencers, and data availability to give you a production-ready L3 with cryptographic security guarantees.

03

Gas Abstraction & Sponsorship

End-user gas fee elimination through meta-transactions and paymaster contracts. We implement ERC-4337 Account Abstraction or custom relayers so your users never need native gas tokens.

Real-Time Payment Routing

Intelligent routing engine that dynamically selects the most cost-effective settlement path (L2, L3, sidechain) based on network congestion and transaction size, optimizing for speed and cost per micropayment.

Interoperability Bridges

Secure, low-latency bridges connecting your L3 to major L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) and L1 (Ethereum). We use canonical bridges or develop lightweight, verified custom bridges for asset portability.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Delivery Methodology

Our systematic approach ensures your Layer 3 micropayments solution is delivered on time, secure, and ready to scale. We focus on measurable outcomes, not just features.

01

Architecture & Design Sprint

We begin with a collaborative 1-week sprint to define your specific micropayment use case, tokenomics, and optimal L3 architecture (ZK-Rollup, Optimistic Rollup, or Validium). This ensures technical alignment and a clear roadmap.

1 week
Initial Sprint
3 options
