What Our ZK Light Client Service Delivers
We provide a production-ready, managed service that handles the heavy lifting of ZK light client deployment and operation, so your team can focus on building your core application.
Production-Ready Client Deployment
We deploy and manage a fully operational ZK light client for your target chain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum). This includes node synchronization, state verification, and continuous operation with 24/7 monitoring.
Zero-Knowledge Proof Generation & Verification
Our service automatically generates succinct ZK proofs for blockchain state (headers, transactions) and provides a verifier contract. We handle the computational overhead, ensuring proofs are generated efficiently and verified on-chain.
Continuous State Synchronization
We maintain real-time sync with the canonical chain, providing your dApp with immediate access to verified block headers and state roots. No need to run your own full node or trust third-party APIs.
Security-First Architecture
Built with formally verified circuits and audited smart contracts. Our infrastructure follows security best practices, including multi-sig admin controls and regular penetration testing to protect your cross-chain operations.
Dedicated Infrastructure & Support
Your light client runs on isolated, high-performance infrastructure. Includes a dedicated engineering point of contact, proactive health monitoring, and SLAs for performance and support response times.
Why Choose Managed ZK Light Clients
Building and maintaining a zero-knowledge light client in-house requires deep cryptographic expertise and significant DevOps overhead. Our managed service delivers production-ready infrastructure, so your team can focus on your core product.
Expert Cryptographic Implementation
We deliver battle-tested ZK circuits and verifiers built by engineers with PhDs in cryptography. Our implementations are optimized for your target chain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM) and audited for security and correctness.
Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure
Deploy with a 99.9% uptime SLA on our globally distributed, auto-scaling node network. We manage all infrastructure, from sequencer health to proof generation latency, ensuring reliable data feeds for your dApp.
Weeks, Not Months to Launch
Go from concept to production in under 4 weeks. We provide a complete SDK, integration guides, and dedicated technical support to connect your application to verified, trust-minimized cross-chain state.
Predictable, Scalable Cost Model
Avoid the unpredictable costs of recruiting a cryptography team and managing proof-generation infrastructure. Our subscription model provides clear pricing that scales linearly with your transaction volume.
Continuous Security & Upgrades
We proactively monitor for chain upgrades, security vulnerabilities, and performance optimizations. Your light client stays current with the latest protocol changes without any engineering effort from your team.
Proven with Leading Protocols
Our infrastructure powers high-value DeFi, gaming, and institutional bridges requiring verifiable cross-chain state. We have a track record of handling billions in TVY with cryptographic guarantees.

Our Delivery Process: From Specification to Production
A transparent, milestone-driven approach to deliver production-ready ZK Light Client infrastructure. We de-risk integration and ensure your team is operational within weeks, not months.
1. Architecture & Specification
We conduct a technical deep-dive to define the exact ZK proving system (e.g., Plonk, Groth16), target chain compatibility (Ethereum, L2s, Cosmos), and performance SLAs. You receive a detailed spec document and project plan.
2. Circuit Development & Proving
Our cryptography engineers implement the state transition logic in Circom or Halo2, optimizing for proof generation speed and verification gas costs. We deliver the core proving system with benchmarked performance metrics.
4. Infrastructure Deployment
We deploy the full stack: the prover service (AWS/GCP/Azure), the on-chain verifier contract, and the relayers. Configuration includes high-availability setups, monitoring, and alerting from day one.
6. Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades
We manage protocol upgrades, security patches, and performance optimizations. Our team provides 24/7 monitoring and incident response, ensuring your cross-chain operations never stall.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that form the immutable backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing Solidity 0.8+ and battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin to mitigate risks from day one.
Deliver a secure, functional MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks, accelerating your time-to-market while ensuring a robust foundation for scaling.
- Custom Logic & Tokenomics: Design and implement bespoke
ERC-20,ERC-721, orERC-1155tokens with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - Comprehensive Audits: Every contract undergoes internal and external security reviews before mainnet deployment, with detailed vulnerability reports.
- Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs for your users, a critical factor for adoption and retention.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance on networks like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about our ZK Light Client development process, security, and support.
Standard ZK Light Client deployments take 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and circuit design, 2 weeks for development and internal testing, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and final integration. Complex multi-chain or custom consensus models can extend this to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones within the first week of engagement.
