Ship a DeFi protocol that survives contact with real money
We engineer lending markets, AMMs, perpetuals, and yield systems for teams that cannot afford an exploit. Mechanism and oracle design done properly, audited before mainnet, built on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Solana.
We will pressure-test your protocol design, flag the economic and oracle risks, and send a written scope and budget.

What we build, and the risk each one carries
A serious DeFi buyer knows the contracts are easy and the economics are where protocols die. Each primitive names what it does and the specific failure mode it carries.
AMMs and DEXs
Constant-product, concentrated-liquidity (Uniswap v3/v4 style), and stable-swap (Curve style) pools.
The risk: LP economics and price-manipulation via thin pools.
Lending and borrowing
Isolated and pooled markets, variable rates, collateral factors.
The risk: oracle manipulation and bad-debt cascades during liquidation.
Perpetuals and derivatives
Orderbook or vAMM perps, funding rates, margin.
The risk: funding and liquidation logic under volatile, low-liquidity conditions.
Yield and vaults
ERC-4626 vaults, auto-compounding, strategy routing.
The risk: strategy composability and dependency on external protocols.
RWA-DeFi crossover
Permissioned pools and tokenized collateral.
The risk: bridging compliant assets into permissionless mechanics.
The contracts are the easy part. The economics are where protocols die.
Most exploits are not a missing require statement. They are economic: an oracle that can be pushed, a liquidation that does not clear fast enough, an incentive that pays attackers more than it pays users. We design these explicitly, before a line of the protocol is final.
→ Oracle design
Choosing and configuring price feeds (Chainlink, Pyth, TWAPs) so a flash-loaned swing cannot drain you.
→ Liquidation mechanics
Parameters and keeper incentives that clear bad debt fast, even in a market crash.
→ Incentive and token design
Emissions, fees, and rewards modeled so the protocol is solvent when the farming stops.
→ Stress and scenario modeling
We simulate the bad days, not just the happy path, before mainnet.
Audited before mainnet, every time
No DeFi protocol we build reaches mainnet unaudited. Security runs through the whole engagement. That means threat modeling at architecture, the full five-layer audit before launch, and onchain monitoring after. The audit covers Slither, Mythril, Echidna, Foundry, manual review, and Certora on critical paths.
See the full audit process →How we build. Real tools, named.
Recent work. Real protocols, real numbers.
DeFi protocol shipped pre-audited
Built and shipped a protocol, audited pre-mainnet, with no incidents since launch.
Problem, approach, outcome
One-line problem, approach, and outcome with a number, pending founder validation.

Mechanism design
Economic model, oracle and liquidation design, parameter selection, and a written spec.
Weeks 1 to 2Build
Contracts, SDK, indexing, and keeper infrastructure.
Weeks 3 to 8Audit and stress test
Full audit and scenario modeling on testnet.
Weeks 6 to 10Launch and monitor
Guarded mainnet rollout with caps, then monitoring and incident response.
Week 10+Timelines depend on primitive and complexity. Mechanism-design-only engagements are available as a smaller standalone scope.

Both. Many teams come to us for the mechanism and economic design first, then continue into the build. You can book the mechanism-design review on its own.
Yes, with the same five-layer process we use for external audits, plus pre-mainnet stress testing. Some clients also commission a second independent audit, which we encourage and support.
It depends on the asset and the manipulation risk. We choose between Chainlink, Pyth, and TWAP designs during mechanism design, and configure for your specific market.
We can start from battle-tested designs where it fits, then engineer the parts that are specific to your protocol. We do not ship a blind fork with your logo on it.
You do. NDA on request.
Guarded rollout: deposit caps, gradual limit increases, and active monitoring, so an early issue is contained, not catastrophic.

Bring us the mechanism. We will tell you where it breaks
Book a call. We will pressure-test your protocol design, flag the economic and oracle risks, and send a written scope and budget. If your model has a hole, you want to hear it from us, not from an attacker.
Every protocol we build is audited before mainnet. NDA on request.
