ZK-Rollup Scaling for Settlement Networks

Implement a custom zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) to batch thousands of cross-border RWA settlements off-chain. We deliver scalable throughput with uncompromised on-chain security and finality.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built for production by expert Solidity engineers.

We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Vyper, and Rust for Solana, implementing OpenZeppelin standards and gas-optimized patterns from day one.

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

Our development lifecycle ensures security and reliability:

  • Formal Specification & Architecture: We define logic flows and security boundaries before a single line of code.
  • Gas Optimization & Testing: Every contract includes comprehensive unit/integration tests and gas profiling.
  • Third-Party Audits: We prepare for and facilitate audits with leading firms like CertiK and Quantstamp.
  • Deployment & Monitoring: We handle mainnet deployment and set up real-time monitoring with Tenderly or Chainscore alerts.

Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Mainnet

We deliver production-ready ZK-Rollup networks through a proven, milestone-driven process. This ensures predictable timelines, clear deliverables, and zero surprises from initial design to mainnet launch.

01

Architecture & Feasibility Review

We conduct a deep technical analysis of your settlement logic and transaction flow to design a custom ZK-Rollup architecture. This phase defines the optimal data availability layer, prover strategy, and economic model for your specific use case.

Frequently Asked Questions on ZK-Rollup Development

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical founders ask when evaluating a ZK-Rollup development partner.

For a standard EVM-compatible ZK-Rollup, we deliver a production-ready mainnet deployment in 6-10 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture & circuit design, 3-4 weeks for core development and integration, and 2-4 weeks for rigorous testing, security audits, and deployment. Complex custom circuits or novel state models can extend this to 12-16 weeks. We provide a detailed, phase-gated project plan at kickoff.
