Smart Contract Development Company — Solidity & Rust Experts

We write smart contracts that handle real volume. Solidity (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche). ERC-20 tokens. DeFi protocols. NFT systems. Custom logic. $1B+ processed. 0 exploits post-ship.

What We Deliver

Solidity + Rust, Both Fluent

EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche). Solana. Each chain has different constraints. We know them.

DeFi Protocols That Work

AMMs. Lending systems. Yield strategies. Staking contracts. DEXs. Not templates. Actual production systems.

Token Standards, Implemented

ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, SPL tokens. We build them right or we don't ship.

Gas Costs Matter

Every contract optimised for minimum gas without sacrificing security. Users pay, so we care.

Upgradeable Where Needed

UUPS proxies, transparent proxies, diamond patterns. We know the trade-offs of each.

Security Baked In

Manual review. Automated analysis. Fuzzing. Test coverage. Then shipped or not at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solidity or Rust — what language?

Solidity for EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche). Rust for Solana. Each chain has one native language that matters. We use the right tool for the chain.

How long to build a smart contract?

Token: 1–3 weeks. DeFi protocol: 4–10 weeks. Complex system: 6–12 weeks. Depending on the scope of the project, the timeline may vary. We build right, not fast.

Development versus audit — what's the difference?

Development is us writing the code. Audit is security review by third-party experts. Both matter.

How do you actually avoid exploits?

Internal security review while building. Full test coverage (unit, integration, fuzzing). Static analysis tools. Manual code audit. For high-value contracts, add formal verification.

Can contracts be upgraded after launch?

Yes, via proxies (UUPS or transparent) or diamond pattern. Trade-off: upgradeable contracts are slightly more complex and cost more gas. We show you the trade-off and you decide.
