overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We deliver audit-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit testing.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 implementations.
  • Security-First: Formal verification and integration with tools like Slither and MythX.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviews focused on reducing deployment and transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full Documentation: Complete technical specs and user guides for your team.

From initial concept to mainnet deployment, we ensure your contracts are secure, efficient, and maintainable.

Business Outcomes of EVM-Compatible ZK

Our EVM-compatible ZK protocol transformation delivers concrete, auditable improvements to your blockchain infrastructure, directly impacting your bottom line and competitive edge.

01

Radically Lower Transaction Costs

Achieve up to 90% reduction in gas fees by moving computation off-chain with zero-knowledge proofs, while maintaining full EVM compatibility. This directly increases user adoption and transaction volume.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Methodology for EVM Protocol Transformation

A systematic, security-first approach to migrate and optimize your existing EVM protocol for zero-knowledge proof environments, minimizing risk and maximizing performance.

01

Architecture & Feasibility Audit

We conduct a deep technical analysis of your current Solidity contracts and protocol logic to identify ZK compatibility, gas inefficiencies, and architectural constraints. This initial blueprint defines the optimal migration path and scope.

Circuit Design & Optimization

Our cryptographers translate your core business logic (e.g., AMM swaps, lending logic) into optimized ZK circuits using Circom or Noir. We focus on minimizing proof generation time and verification costs.

EVM ZK Transformation FAQs

Get clear answers to the most common questions CTOs and founders ask when evaluating a ZK protocol transformation.

A standard EVM-to-ZK transformation project takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture and circuit design, 2-4 weeks for development and rigorous internal testing, and 1-2 weeks for final audits and deployment. Complex protocols with custom state transitions or novel cryptographic primitives may extend this timeline, which we scope and quote for upfront.
