overview
FOUNDATION

Blockchain Infrastructure Development

Build secure, scalable, and production-ready blockchain backends tailored to your application.

We architect and deploy the core infrastructure your dApp needs to perform. This includes custom RPC nodes, indexing services, and data pipelines that deliver 99.9% uptime and sub-second latency. We manage the complexity so you can focus on your product.

From testnet to mainnet, we ensure your infrastructure is battle-tested and cost-optimized for scale.

  • Node Operations: Dedicated EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana RPC/validator nodes with advanced monitoring.
  • Data & Indexing: Real-time blockchain event streaming, custom subgraphs (The Graph), and indexed APIs for fast data queries.
  • DevOps & Security: Automated deployments, multi-region failover, and enterprise-grade security practices including DDoS protection.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and upgradeable. Our process delivers audit-ready code from day one, built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive testing suites.

  • Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and formal verification before external audit, mitigating risks like reentrancy and overflow.
  • Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 20-40% through efficient data structures and contract architecture.
  • Upgradeability & Maintenance: Implement Transparent Proxy or UUPS patterns for seamless, secure future upgrades without migrating state.
Your Migration Questions, Answered

ZK Migration FAQs

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for migrating from legacy ZK systems like zkSync Classic or Polygon Hermez.

A standard migration from a legacy ZK system (e.g., zkSync Classic) to a modern ZK stack (e.g., zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM) takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes architecture review, smart contract porting, circuit optimization, and security audits. Complex protocols with custom circuits may extend to 6-8 weeks.
