overview
FULL-STACK INFRASTRUCTURE
Custom Blockchain Development
End-to-end blockchain solutions for enterprises and startups, from protocol design to mainnet deployment.
- Consensus & Protocol Design: Build with
Tendermint,IBFT, orHotStufffor your required finality and validator set. - Smart Contract Integration: Native support for
EVM,CosmWasm, or custom VMs. - Node Infrastructure: Automated deployment, monitoring, and 99.9% uptime SLA for validator and RPC nodes.
- Cross-Chain Bridges: Secure, audited bridges for asset and data transfer between your chain and major networks.
From a 4-week PoC to a fully operational mainnet, we handle the entire stack so your team can focus on the application layer.

CORE SERVICE
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a 2-week MVP for standard token or NFT contracts.
- Security-First Development: All contracts are built with
Solidity 0.8+and audited using OpenZeppelin patterns and internal review tools. - Protocol Expertise: Native support for
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom standards for DeFi, DAOs, and marketplaces. - Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and testing to deployment on mainnet and ongoing upgrade management via proxy patterns.
We deliver battle-tested code that executes your business rules with precision, minimizing gas costs and eliminating vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Privacy Protocol R&D: Common Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for custom privacy solutions.
A full-stack privacy protocol, from initial research to audited mainnet deployment, typically takes 8-14 weeks. This includes 2-3 weeks for architecture & cryptographic design, 4-6 weeks for core development and internal testing, and 2-3 weeks for third-party security audits and final integration. We provide a detailed, phased project plan with weekly deliverables after the initial discovery sprint.
