CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our team specializes in Solidity and Rust, implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Anchor. Every contract undergoes a rigorous audit process before mainnet deployment.

Deliver a secure, gas-optimized foundation in 2-4 weeks.

  • Token Systems: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 with custom vesting, minting, and governance.
  • DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), liquidity pools, staking, and yield aggregators.
  • Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, and verifiable on-chain data feeds.
  • Security First: Formal verification, unit testing with Hardhat/Foundry, and third-party audit coordination.

Business Outcomes for Your SocialFi Platform

Integrating a decentralized social graph with robust storage is a technical challenge. We deliver concrete infrastructure that translates directly into user growth, platform resilience, and sustainable monetization.

01

User Data Sovereignty & Portability

We implement decentralized identity (DID) standards and portable social graphs using protocols like Ceramic or Lens. This builds user trust and enables network effects across platforms, directly increasing user acquisition and retention.
