overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications by expert Solidity engineers.

We deliver production-ready Solidity and Rust smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process includes formal verification and integration with OpenZeppelin libraries to ensure security from day one.

Reduce your time-to-market from months to weeks with our battle-tested development framework.

  • Custom Logic: Build unique tokenomics, governance systems, and automated protocols.
  • Security-First: Every contract undergoes manual review and automated analysis before audit.
  • Full Deployment: We handle deployment, verification on Etherscan, and initial testing on mainnet forks.
  • Ongoing Support: Post-launch monitoring and upgrade management for Proxy patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on development timelines, costs, security, and support for your custom micropayment infrastructure.

A standard deployment for a custom micropayment channel network takes 4-8 weeks, from initial architecture to mainnet deployment. This includes channel logic, dispute resolution, and integration with your existing wallet or dApp. Complex multi-chain or high-frequency systems may extend to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint-by-sprint timeline during the discovery phase.
