Station 03 · The chain lab

Code that moves value can't have bugs.

Smart contracts, tokens, dApps and the tooling around them — built with fintech discipline, because on-chain, every mistake is public and permanent.

Capabilities

What comes out of the chain lab.

CONTRACTS

Smart contracts

ERC-20 / 721 / 1155 and custom logic — vesting, staking, escrow, governance. Written to be read: documented, tested, audited.

SolidityFoundryOpenZeppelin
TOKENS

Token launches

Utility and governance tokens with sane tokenomics, vesting schedules, multisig treasuries and a launch plan — not just a mint button.

TokenomicsVestingMultisig
DAPPS

dApps & frontends

Wallet-connected web apps your non-crypto users can actually operate — clear states, gas estimates, human error messages.

wagmi / viemWalletConnectethers.js
NFT

NFT platforms

Collections, mint sites, allowlists, reveal mechanics, royalties and marketplaces — with the metadata pipeline done right.

ERC-721AIPFSMint sites
DEFI

DeFi mechanics

Staking pools, reward emission, swaps, yield accounting — modelled in spreadsheets first, simulated against forked mainnet second.

TOOLING

Explorers & admin

Dashboards to watch your protocol, admin consoles for your ops team, indexers and webhooks so off-chain systems stay in sync.

FORK SIM — REHEARSING MAINNET BEFORE MAINNET
Security doctrine

Paranoia, as a feature.

On-chain code can't be patched on Friday night. So the lab treats every contract as if it's already under attack:

  • Test coverage before beauty — unit, fuzz and invariant tests on every state transition.
  • Fork rehearsals — deployments simulated against forked mainnet with real liquidity conditions.
  • Independent audit — third-party review for anything holding user funds; findings fixed and re-tested.
  • Timelocks & multisig — no single key can drain a treasury, including ours.
  • Kill-switch design — pausable where users would want it, immutable where they'd demand it.

Before you spend

We'll also tell you when you don't need a blockchain.

Do I actually need a token?

Maybe not — and we'll say so in the first call. A token makes sense when it coordinates real behaviour (access, governance, incentives). If a database and a loyalty table solve your problem, we'll recommend that instead and save you the audit budget.

What does a smart-contract build cost?

A standard token with vesting is a small, fast project. A custom protocol with novel mechanics is weeks of modelling, testing and audit. Both get a fixed written quote in 48 hours — audit costs shown separately and transparently.

Can you rescue or audit an existing contract?

Yes. We review deployed and pre-deployment contracts, document what they actually do (versus what the last vendor claimed), and either harden them or plan a safe migration.

Who holds the keys?

You do. Treasuries go behind your multisig, admin roles transfer to you at handover, and we keep exactly the access you decide we keep — in writing.

Ship on-chain with a team that rehearses.
