What programming languages do you use for smart contract development?

While we are a Base Services Hub agency, we are a chain agnostic team with expertise in Solidity for EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche), and Rust for Solana.

How long does it take to develop a smart contract?

Simple token contracts can be completed in 1-2 weeks. Complex DeFi protocols or game economies typically take 4-12 weeks depending on scope. We provide detailed timelines after scoping your project.

Which blockchains do you develop smart contracts for?

We develop on Ethereum, Base, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, and Abstract. We help clients choose the right chain based on their use case, target audience, and cost requirements.

How do you ensure smart contract security?

Every contract goes through our internal security review process, comprehensive test suites, and gas optimization passes. For high-value contracts, we recommend a formal third-party audit before mainnet deployment.

What tech stack do you use for dApp development?

We typically use React or Next.js for frontends, Solidity or Rust for smart contracts, and Node.js with AWS for backend infrastructure. We adapt our stack based on your project requirements.

Can you build on multiple blockchains?

Yes. We have production experience on Ethereum, Base, Solana, Polygon, and Avalanche. We can also build multi-chain applications that interact with several networks.

Do you handle both the frontend and smart contracts?

Yes — we are a full-stack Web3 agency. We handle everything from smart contract development to frontend UI, backend infrastructure, and deployment.

How long does a typical dApp project take?

A simple dApp with frontend and smart contracts can be completed in 4-8 weeks. More complex platforms with backend infrastructure, real-time data, and multiple contract interactions typically take 8-16 weeks.

What's included in your token launch service?

We handle smart contract development, deployment, liquidity pool setup, vesting contracts, staking infrastructure, and the launch website. We cover the full technical stack so you can focus on community and marketing.

Which blockchains can you launch tokens on?

We launch tokens on Ethereum, Base, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, and Abstract. We help you choose the right chain based on your target market and cost requirements.

How long does a token launch take to prepare?

A straightforward token launch with contract, liquidity, and basic website can be ready in 2-4 weeks. More complex launches with vesting, staking, presale, and custom infrastructure typically take 4-8 weeks.

Do you help with liquidity setup?

Yes. We handle DEX liquidity pool creation, initial liquidity provisioning, liquidity locking, and can set up automated market making configurations.

What does your NFT development service include?

We handle the full pipeline — generative art engine, smart contract development, minting website, metadata storage, reveal mechanics, and airdrop systems. We deliver a complete, ready-to-launch NFT platform.

Can you build custom minting pages?

Yes. We build fully custom mint pages with your branding, real-time supply counters, wallet connection, whitelist verification, and responsive design for all devices.

Do you handle art generation?

Yes. We build custom generative art engines that combine your trait layers into thousands of unique NFTs with configurable rarity tiers and trait compatibility rules.

Which chains do you support for NFTs?

We build NFT projects on Ethereum (ERC-721/ERC-1155), Solana (Metaplex), Base, and Polygon. We help you choose the right chain based on your community and cost requirements.

What kind of blockchain data can you track?

We can track any publicly available on-chain data — token transfers, smart contract events, wallet activity, DEX volume, liquidity metrics, NFT sales, and more. We also integrate off-chain data sources for comprehensive reporting.

Do you build custom dashboards?

Yes. Every dashboard we build is custom-designed for your specific data needs and branded to match your project. We don't use generic templates.

Can you integrate on-chain and off-chain data?

Yes. We build hybrid data systems that combine blockchain data with traditional databases, APIs, and analytics platforms for a complete picture of your project's performance.

What does a smart contract audit involve?

Our audit process includes manual line-by-line code review, automated static analysis, vulnerability testing, gas optimization review, and a detailed report with severity ratings and remediation guidance.

How long does a smart contract audit take?

A standard audit takes 1-3 weeks depending on contract complexity and codebase size. We provide a timeline estimate after reviewing your code. Rush audits are available for time-sensitive launches.

What happens if vulnerabilities are found?

We provide a detailed report with each vulnerability categorized by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational), along with specific remediation guidance. After you implement fixes, we perform a re-audit to verify the issues are resolved.

Do you audit contracts on all blockchains?

We audit Solidity contracts (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche) and Rust contracts (Solana). We cover all major EVM and non-EVM chains.
