Founded
Architected and deployed a tokenisation platform on Ethereum with custom smart contracts, wallet integration, and a compliant token economics model designed for long-term adoption.
Delivered a custom blockchain integration connecting a client's ERP and database systems to a permissioned blockchain network without operational disruption to existing workflows.
Every smart contract deployed to a public blockchain has a permanent, publicly verifiable address. A company with genuine smart contract delivery experience can point you to specific contract addresses on Etherscan, Polygonscan, or the relevant chain explorer. You can verify the deployment date, the transaction volume, and whether the contract is still active. A team that cannot provide this has either not deployed to mainnet or deployed contracts it does not want scrutinised — both are significant concerns.
Security auditing is a specialist discipline that requires different skills from smart contract development. Many blockchain development companies claim to audit their own code, which is the equivalent of asking the engineer who wrote the specification to check it for errors. A credible blockchain firm either has dedicated audit engineers with formal verification experience, or it partners with a recognised audit firm like BlockApex or a similar specialist. Ask specifically who conducts the audit, what their methodology is, and whether you will receive a written audit report before deployment.
The right blockchain for your project depends on transaction costs, throughput requirements, ecosystem maturity, regulatory considerations, and the specific token standards or DeFi primitives your system needs to interact with. A team that recommends Ethereum without discussing Polygon's lower gas fees, or Solana without acknowledging its programme model's learning curve, is not thinking carefully about your requirements. The reasoning behind the chain recommendation is more informative than the recommendation itself.
Unlike traditional software, smart contracts deployed to public blockchains cannot be patched without a specific upgrade architecture being built into the contract design from the start. Ask whether the company designs upgradeable contracts using established proxy patterns, what their incident response process looks like if an exploit is discovered, and whether they carry professional indemnity insurance for blockchain projects. A team that has not thought through post-deployment vulnerability management is building you a system that cannot be fixed if something goes wrong.
