CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your token, DeFi, or NFT project.
- Full-Stack Development: From
ERC-20/ERC-721tokens to complex DeFi protocols (AMMs,lending pools) and DAO governance systems. - Security-First Process: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, followed by rigorous audits and formal verification to mitigate risks. - Gas Optimization: Every contract is optimized for lower transaction costs and higher throughput on your target chain (
EVM,Solana,Starknet).
We deliver battle-tested code with comprehensive documentation, enabling your team to iterate confidently post-launch.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE INFRASTRUCTURE
Architected for Maximum Uptime and Resilience
Our geographically distributed validator clusters are engineered for mission-critical applications, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring your protocol's consensus layer remains active and secure.
01
Multi-Region Redundancy
Validator nodes are deployed across at least three independent cloud regions and providers (AWS, GCP, OCI). This ensures network participation continues even during a full regional cloud outage.
3+
Cloud Regions
2+
Cloud Providers
02
Automated Failover & Health Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of node health, latency, and block production. If a primary node underperforms, traffic is automatically rerouted to a healthy standby node within the cluster with zero manual intervention.

DDoS & Slashing Protection
Infrastructure is shielded behind enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation. Our slashing protection suite includes double-sign prevention, optimized fee recipient configuration, and proactive alerting on missed attestations.

Private Sentry Node Architecture
Validator keys are secured in isolated, non-publicly accessible nodes. All inbound/outbound peer-to-peer traffic is routed through dedicated sentry nodes, hiding your validator's IP from the public network.
