overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists to power your decentralized application.

We architect, develop, and audit custom smart contracts that form the immutable, trustless backbone of your product. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+ and Vyper, leveraging battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin to ensure security from day one.

  • End-to-End Development: From initial design and ERC-20/721/1155 standards to complex DeFi logic and cross-chain bridges.
  • Security-First Process: Multi-stage audits, formal verification with tools like Slither and MythX, and comprehensive test suites.
  • Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs for your users, a critical factor for adoption.
  • Mainnet Deployment & Verification: We handle the full deployment lifecycle on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other leading EVM chains.

Deliver a secure, audited, and gas-optimized smart contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, reducing your technical risk and accelerating your go-to-market.

METHODOLOGY

Our Structured Benchmarking Process

We deliver actionable, data-driven insights through a rigorous 4-phase framework designed to de-risk your zkML proof system selection and accelerate your time-to-market.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Requirements Analysis

We conduct a deep technical workshop to map your specific use case (e.g., on-chain inference, model privacy) to precise proof system requirements. We define benchmarks for latency, proof size, and hardware constraints.

48-72 hrs
Workshop Duration
10+
Key Metrics Defined
02

Phase 2: Multi-Framework Environment Setup

We provision isolated, reproducible testing environments for leading zkML frameworks (e.g., EZKL, RISC Zero, zkML from Modulus Labs). This ensures fair, apples-to-apples performance comparisons.

zkML Benchmarking FAQs

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions from CTOs and engineering leads evaluating zkML proof system performance.

A standard benchmarking project, from initial scoping to final report delivery, typically takes 2-3 weeks. This includes 1 week for environment setup and test execution, and 1-2 weeks for in-depth analysis, optimization recommendations, and report generation. Complex models or custom circuit requirements may extend this to 4 weeks.
