Tokens & tokenization.
We design token economics, build distribution systems, and launch fungible tokens, NFTs, and real world assets across EVM and Solana. Every token starts with the behaviour it needs to produce, not the standard it happens to use.
What we build.
Tokens are mechanisms, not logos. We design each one backwards from the incentive it needs to create, then build the contracts, vesting, and distribution logic to make it work in production.
Fungible Token Design (ERC20)
We build ERC20 tokens that do more than exist. Utility tokens that gate access to a product, governance tokens that carry real voting weight, reward tokens that distribute value to participants, and custom supply mechanics that align token behaviour with business outcomes over years, not just at launch.
- Utility tokens with fee switches and access gating
- Governance tokens with snapshot voting and delegation
- Reward tokens with emission schedules and claim logic
- Custom supply mechanics including mint caps, burn triggers, and rebasing
NFT Systems (ERC721 and ERC1155)
We design and deploy NFT contracts for collections, gaming items, membership passes, and digital assets. From minting infrastructure and on chain metadata to royalty enforcement and collection management, we build the full lifecycle so secondary markets work correctly from day one.
- Lazy minting with signature based authorization
- On chain and off chain metadata with reveal mechanics
- ERC2981 royalty enforcement across marketplaces
- Collection management with admin controls and supply caps
Real World Asset Tokenization
We tokenize real world assets in a way that a regulator and an engineer can both respect. Fractional ownership of property, commodities, invoices, and treasuries, with the legal wrapper, oracle integration, and redemption path treated as first class engineering problems rather than afterthoughts.
- Fractional ownership with proportional dividend distribution
- Transfer restrictions and whitelist enforcement for compliance
- Attestation flows for accredited investor verification
- Redemption mechanics that connect on chain tokens to off chain assets
Vesting and Distribution Contracts
We build vesting systems that handle the complexity of multiple stakeholder groups with different timelines, cliff periods, and unlock conditions. Founders, investors, advisors, and community members all need different schedules, and the contracts need to handle edge cases like early termination and accelerated vesting cleanly.
- Cliff vesting with configurable lock periods
- Linear and milestone based unlock schedules
- Merkle airdrop contracts for gas efficient bulk distribution
- Staged release mechanisms tied to governance or external triggers
Token Governance Integration
We wire tokens into governance systems so voting power actually reflects community intent. Delegation mechanics let passive holders participate through active delegates. Quorum thresholds prevent tiny minorities from controlling outcomes. Proposal systems give structure to decision making without creating bureaucratic paralysis.
- Voting power calculation with snapshot based balances
- Delegation with partial delegation and re delegation support
- Configurable quorum and proposal threshold mechanics
- Timelock protected execution with role based access
Stablecoin Mechanics
We build the contract infrastructure for stablecoins, from collateral management and mint and burn logic to peg maintenance mechanisms and reserve proof systems. Whether the backing is fiat, crypto, or algorithmic, we design for the failure modes that matter most and the transparency that users demand.
- Collateral vault contracts with liquidation thresholds
- Mint and burn functions with rate limiting and access control
- Peg stability modules for arbitrage and rebalancing
- On chain proof of reserves with merkle tree verification
Community and Loyalty Tokens
We design token systems for brands and communities that reward participation, create tiered membership levels, and build transferable loyalty programs on chain. These tokens need to feel simple to end users while handling complex reward calculations, tier upgrades, and partner integrations behind the scenes.
- Points based reward programs with on chain accrual
- Tiered membership tokens with automatic level progression
- Transferable loyalty points with partner redemption hooks
- Engagement tracking and reward multiplier mechanics
Secondary Market Integration
A token without liquidity is a token without value. We build the marketplace infrastructure that connects your token to secondary markets, whether through automated market makers, centralized exchange listings, or custom marketplace contracts for NFTs and specialized assets.
- AMM liquidity pool deployment and initial liquidity provisioning
- Exchange listing preparation and integration support
- Custom NFT marketplace contracts with offer and auction logic
- Liquidity bootstrapping pools for fair price discovery at launch
Problems we have solved.
These scenarios reflect the kinds of token engagements we take on. The assets differ, but the approach is consistent. Understand the incentive first, then design the economics, then write the contracts.
In game utility token for a gaming platform
A gaming operator needed an in game currency that players could earn, spend, and trade without destabilizing the game economy. This type of project requires an ERC20 utility token with controlled emission tied to gameplay milestones, a sink mechanism that removes tokens through in game purchases, and an exchange integration that lets players convert to stablecoins when they want to cash out.
Tokenized commercial property for a real estate fund
A real estate fund wanted to fractionalize ownership of commercial properties into tradeable on chain tokens with compliant transfer restrictions. The solution uses an ERC1155 system where each property is a distinct token ID, with transfer hooks enforcing KYC status, holding limits, and jurisdiction restrictions. Quarterly dividend distribution runs automatically through a proportional reward contract.
Governance token distribution for early contributors
A protocol needed to distribute governance tokens to hundreds of early contributors, advisors, and team members with different vesting schedules, cliff periods, and unlock conditions. This requires a merkle based claim system with per recipient vesting parameters, delegation built into the vesting contract so locked tokens can still vote, and a dashboard showing each participant their unlock timeline and claimable balance in real time.
Blockchain loyalty program for a consumer brand
A consumer brand wanted to replace their existing points system with a blockchain based loyalty token that customers could earn through purchases, redeem with partners, and trade on secondary markets. The solution uses a soulbound membership NFT that tracks tier status, a fungible reward token with partner redemption hooks, and an admin dashboard that lets the marketing team adjust reward rates and add new partners without touching code.
Fair launch token sale for a startup
A startup wanted to run a public token sale that felt fair to participants and avoided the common pattern where insiders and bots capture most of the allocation. This type of launch requires a tiered structure with contribution caps, a whitelist phase for community members, and a public phase with anti bot protections. A liquidity bootstrapping pool provides transparent price discovery, and vesting contracts ensure the team's tokens are locked with appropriate cliff and unlock schedules.
Economics first, then implementation.
Tokenomics that look good in a whitepaper can become catastrophic in year three when vesting unlocks and incentives shift. We model outcomes over the full lifecycle, not just launch day.
Supply Design
The choice between fixed supply, inflationary, and deflationary models shapes every downstream decision. A fixed supply token concentrates value but offers no mechanism to reward future participants. An inflationary token can fund ongoing development and community rewards but dilutes existing holders if emission is too aggressive. A deflationary model with burn mechanics creates scarcity over time but can reduce liquidity.
We model each approach against your specific use case, user growth projections, and revenue model. The right supply design is the one that keeps incentives aligned across all participants for the lifetime of the project, not just the one that makes the launch chart look attractive.
Distribution Allocation
How tokens are allocated across stakeholder groups determines who has power, who has incentive, and who gets diluted. We design distribution tables that balance the needs of founders, investors, the community, the treasury, and operations.
- Founder and team allocation with long vesting to signal commitment
- Investor allocation sized to the project needs, not to convention
- Community allocation large enough to create real participation incentives
- Treasury reserves for future development, partnerships, and unforeseen needs
- Operational budget for liquidity provisioning and market making
Incentive Alignment
A token is only valuable if users have a reason to hold it, use it, and participate in the ecosystem it powers. We design incentive structures where token value connects directly to user behaviour. Staking rewards for long term holders. Fee sharing for active participants. Governance rights for those who care about the protocol's direction. Burn mechanics that tie token scarcity to actual platform usage.
The goal is a system where every stakeholder benefits from the same outcome. When incentives diverge, tokens become speculative instruments disconnected from value creation. We design against that failure mode explicitly.
Long Term Sustainability
Most tokenomics models are designed for launch, not for year three. We think about what happens when early investor vesting unlocks and large supply hits the market. We model the impact of emission schedule changes on circulating supply. We consider what happens if user growth stalls and the token economy needs to function at a smaller scale than projected.
We design circuit breakers and adjustment mechanisms that let the protocol respond to changing conditions without requiring emergency governance votes. Sustainable tokenomics adapt gracefully. Fragile tokenomics break suddenly.
Getting tokens to the right people.
Distribution is not a spreadsheet exercise. It is a set of smart contracts, claim mechanics, and timing decisions that determine who holds your token, when they get it, and what they do with it.
Merkle Airdrops
Merkle tree based distribution lets you define a complete allocation off chain and let recipients claim on chain with a cryptographic proof. This approach is gas efficient because the full allocation list never touches the blockchain. Only the merkle root is stored on chain, and each claim verifies a proof against that root.
We build merkle airdrop contracts with configurable claim windows, delegation during claim, and the ability to sweep unclaimed tokens back to the treasury after a deadline. We also handle the off chain infrastructure for proof generation and the front end claim experience.
Tiered Launches
A tiered launch uses multiple phases with different access rules, contribution limits, and pricing. Early phases might be restricted to whitelisted addresses with lower caps. Later phases open to the public with higher limits. Pricing can be fixed per tier or follow a bonding curve.
We design anti bot protections including transaction limits, address verification, and commit reveal bidding. The goal is a launch that distributes tokens broadly across real participants rather than concentrating allocation in the hands of a few sophisticated actors.
Staking Rewards
Staking reward contracts distribute tokens proportionally to participants who lock their holdings for a defined period. We use accumulator patterns that handle reward calculation accurately across thousands of stakers without running into gas limits or precision errors.
We build configurable lock periods, tiered reward multipliers for longer commitments, and early withdrawal penalties that protect the protocol without punishing users unfairly. Multi token reward pools let you distribute multiple assets from a single staking contract.
Community Mining
Community mining distributes tokens based on measurable contributions to the protocol. Liquidity providers earn tokens proportional to the capital they supply. Content creators earn tokens based on engagement metrics verified through oracles. Developers earn tokens through approved grants and bounties tracked on chain.
We design emission schedules that decay over time so early contributors are rewarded more heavily, while still leaving meaningful incentives for participants who join later. The distribution logic is transparent and auditable so the community can verify that rewards are allocated fairly.
Retroactive Distributions
Retroactive distributions reward users who contributed to a protocol before a token existed. We build snapshot systems that capture historical on chain activity, calculate contribution scores based on configurable criteria, and generate merkle trees for claim based distribution.
The design challenge is defining what counts as a meaningful contribution and weighting different activities fairly. We work with teams to build scoring models that reward genuine participation and resist sybil attacks from addresses created specifically to farm the airdrop.
The right standard for the job.
Token standards are the easy decision. The hard questions are upstream. But choosing the wrong standard creates technical debt that compounds for the lifetime of the project.
ERC20 for Fungible Tokens
The workhorse standard for any token where every unit is interchangeable. Utility tokens, governance tokens, stablecoins, and reward tokens all build on ERC20. We extend it with snapshots for historical balance queries, permits for gasless approvals, vote delegation for governance, and custom hooks for transfer restrictions or fee on transfer mechanics.
- Snapshots for point in time balance verification
- ERC2612 permits for gasless approve and transfer
- Vote delegation compatible with Governor contracts
ERC721 for Unique NFTs
When every token must be individually identifiable with unique properties, ERC721 is the standard. Art collections, membership passes, real world asset certificates, and gaming characters all use ERC721. We build minting logic, metadata management, and royalty enforcement that works across major marketplaces.
- On chain and off chain metadata with IPFS pinning
- Enumerable extensions for collection browsing
- ERC2981 royalties enforced at the contract level
ERC1155 for Multi Token Systems
ERC1155 handles both fungible and non fungible tokens in a single contract. Gaming platforms use it for items where some are unique (legendary weapons) and others are stackable (potions, currencies). Real estate platforms use it where each property is a distinct token ID with fractional fungible shares. The gas savings on batch operations make it ideal for high volume use cases.
- Batch minting and transfers for gas efficiency
- Mixed fungible and non fungible token IDs
- URI based metadata with per token overrides
Custom Extensions and Solana SPL
Some use cases require token behaviour that no existing standard covers. Transfer restrictions for regulated assets, dynamic metadata that changes based on on chain events, soulbound tokens that cannot be transferred, and composable tokens that can hold other tokens inside them. On Solana, we build SPL tokens using Rust and the Anchor framework, with the same rigour we apply to EVM standards.
- Soulbound tokens for credentials and reputation
- Dynamic NFTs with on chain state that evolves
- SPL tokens on Solana with Metaplex metadata
- Cross chain token representations with bridge support
Tools we use daily.
We choose tools based on the token's requirements and the chain it lives on. These are the languages, frameworks, and libraries we work with across our token engagements.
EVM Token Development
Solidity is our primary language for EVM token contracts. We use Hardhat for teams that prefer JavaScript tooling and Foundry for fast native testing and fuzzing. OpenZeppelin provides the battle tested base implementations we extend for custom behaviour.
Solana Token Development
For Solana SPL tokens, we write in Rust using the Anchor framework. Metaplex handles NFT metadata and collection standards. The Solana CLI and SDK provide the deployment and testing infrastructure for fast iteration.
Token Standards and Libraries
We build on established, audited implementations rather than rewriting proven functionality. OpenZeppelin for ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 base contracts. Chainlink for price feeds and VRF where tokens interact with external data. Uniswap for AMM integration and liquidity pool deployment.
Distribution and Launch Infrastructure
Merkle tree generation, airdrop claim interfaces, vesting dashboards, and liquidity bootstrapping pool deployment. We build the full stack around the token, not just the contract itself.
