Simple token contracts take about two weeks from start to deployment. But most projects aren't simple. A DeFi protocol with multiple contract interactions might need eight to twelve weeks.

The audit phase adds another two to four weeks depending on complexity. We don't rush this part. Found a critical vulnerability in a client's lending protocol during audit that would have cost them millions.

Smart contracts are immutable once deployed. That's why we build in upgrade patterns when appropriate. For critical systems, we implement proxy contracts that allow fixing issues without losing user data or funds.

We also provide three months of monitoring after launch. Our team watches transaction patterns and contract interactions to catch problems early. Had a client whose contract started behaving oddly due to a specific edge case we hadn't tested. Caught it before any funds were at risk.

We focus on Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain. Those three cover about 85% of what clients need. Started working with Arbitrum and Optimism in 2024 as layer-2 solutions gained traction.

Each platform has quirks. Gas optimization techniques that work brilliantly on Ethereum might be unnecessary on Polygon. We choose based on your specific use case and user base location.

We run automated tools first—Slither, Mythril, and our custom scripts. Then comes manual review where we actually read every line looking for logic flaws that tools miss.

You get a detailed report with severity ratings for each issue. Critical items must be fixed before deployment. High priority gets addressed or we document why the risk is acceptable. We retest after fixes to confirm everything's resolved.

Yes, though it depends on how the original contract was built. If it's upgradeable, we can implement new features. If not, we might need to deploy a new version and migrate state.

We've taken over projects from other developers who disappeared or couldn't finish. First step is always a complete audit of existing code. Last thing anyone wants is to build on a shaky foundation.

Gas optimization is part of every contract we write. Simple things like using uint256 instead of smaller types, batching operations, and careful storage management can cut costs by 30-40%.

But there's a balance. Sometimes the most gas-efficient code is harder to audit and maintain. We optimize within reason while keeping contracts readable and secure. Your users will interact with these contracts thousands of times—efficiency matters.

Every function gets NatSpec comments explaining what it does, parameters, and return values. We also write a technical overview explaining contract architecture and how components interact.

You'll get deployment scripts with instructions, test coverage reports, and gas usage analysis. Plus a plain-English guide for anyone on your team who isn't a developer. Documentation isn't glamorous but it's essential when you need to explain your system to investors or auditors.

Not at all. Some of our best projects came from clients who had a solid business idea but minimal technical knowledge. We translate between business requirements and blockchain implementation.

That said, you should understand basic concepts like wallet addresses, transactions, and gas fees. We'll explain these during our first meeting. The learning curve isn't as steep as people think—usually takes one or two conversations to get comfortable with the fundamentals.
