overview
FULL-STACK INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Blockchain Development

End-to-end blockchain solutions built for performance, security, and rapid deployment.

We architect and build custom blockchain networks and applications from the ground up. Our full-cycle development delivers production-ready systems in 4-8 weeks, not months.

From L1/L2 consensus to smart contract suites, we deliver the complete technical foundation your product needs to launch and scale.

  • Core Protocol Development: Custom EVM-compatible chains, Substrate-based parachains, and Cosmos SDK app-chains with tailored consensus and governance.
  • Smart Contract Suites: Gas-optimized, audited contracts for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom business logic using Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin.
  • Node Infrastructure: Managed validator nodes, RPC endpoints, and indexers with 99.9% uptime SLA and multi-cloud redundancy.
  • Integration Layer: Secure bridges, oracles (Chainlink, Pyth), and wallet connectivity for seamless user onboarding.

Our ZK Upgrade Coordination Framework

A battle-tested framework for managing zero-knowledge proof system upgrades across multiple chains, minimizing downtime and eliminating consensus failures.

01

Proactive Vulnerability Management

We implement a continuous monitoring and patching pipeline for ZK circuits and verifiers. This includes automated alerts for new cryptographic vulnerabilities (e.g., in Plonk, Groth16) and a streamlined process for deploying security patches across all supported chains within 48 hours of identification.

02

Deterministic Multi-Chain Rollout

Orchestrate phased upgrades across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other L2s with atomic consistency checks. Our framework ensures verifier contract bytecode and proving keys are synchronized, preventing chain splits or failed state transitions during cross-chain operations.

Cross-Chain Sync
03

Backward & Forward Compatibility

Engineered upgrade paths that maintain compatibility with existing proofs and pending transactions. We design verifier contracts with versioning support, allowing old proofs to be validated during grace periods and ensuring seamless user experience through all upgrade phases.

Governance & Automation Engine

Integrate with DAO tooling (Snapshot, Tally) or provide a standalone dashboard for transparent upgrade governance. Automate the execution of approved upgrades via secure multi-sig (Safe) scripts, with full audit trails and pre/post-upgrade state verification.

Comprehensive Dry-Run & Simulation

Test every upgrade against a forked mainnet environment for all target chains. Our simulation suite validates gas costs, finality times, and edge-case behavior (e.g., MEV, front-running) before a single byte hits production, de-risking the entire process.

Post-Upgrade Health Monitoring

Real-time dashboards track proof success rates, verification gas costs, and prover performance across all chains post-upgrade. We set up automated rollback triggers if KPIs deviate from baselines, ensuring system resilience and immediate issue resolution.

PREDICTABLE, TRANSPARENT, AND SECURE

Our Four-Phase Delivery Process

A structured, milestone-driven approach to ensure your ZK-powered multi-chain upgrade is delivered on time, on budget, and with zero security compromises. We provide full transparency and collaboration at every step.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Protocol Design

We define the optimal ZK proof system (zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs) and multi-chain coordination layer (LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole) for your specific use case. This phase establishes the technical foundation and security model.

Multi-Chain ZK Upgrade Coordination FAQ

Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for coordinating zero-knowledge protocol upgrades across your blockchain stack.

Our standard coordination timeline is 4-8 weeks, from initial audit to mainnet deployment. This includes: 1) 1-2 weeks for security assessment and dependency mapping, 2) 2-4 weeks for development, testing, and staging environment deployment, and 3) 1-2 weeks for mainnet coordination and final verification. Complex multi-chain ecosystems with 5+ networks may extend to 10 weeks.
