PROVEN PROCESS
Our Development Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to building institutional-grade privacy protocols that deliver production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We begin with a zero-trust architecture review, mapping data flows and identifying attack vectors specific to your protocol's privacy mechanism (zk-SNARKs, MPC, TEEs). This upfront analysis prevents costly redesigns later.

Attack Vectors Modeled
CertiK
Audit-Ready Output
02
Cryptographic Implementation
Our engineers implement core privacy primitives (e.g., zk-SNARKs via Circom/Halo2, secure MPC) with formal verification where applicable. We focus on gas efficiency and verifier optimization for on-chain settlement.
40-60%
Gas Cost Reduction
OpenZeppelin
Security Libraries
03
Smart Contract & System Integration
Development of the on-chain verifier contracts and off-chain provers, integrated with your existing DeFi stack (lending AMMs, vaults). We ensure seamless interoperability with major L1/L2 networks.

Security Audits & Penetration Testing
Every protocol undergoes rigorous internal review followed by external audits from top firms. We conduct penetration testing on the full stack, from circuit logic to front-end integration.

Performance Optimization & Load Testing
We simulate mainnet conditions to benchmark proof generation times, transaction throughput, and gas costs under load. Optimization ensures the protocol scales with user adoption.
