Smart contracts & NFT launches

On-chain products,
built like production software.

Chainlab is a smart contract studio. We design, audit, and deploy NFT collections, token systems, and bespoke on-chain mechanics for brands that refuse to ship sloppy code.

What we do

Four disciplines, one team.

No outsourcing, no shortcuts on your contract.

⟡

Smart Contract Engineering

ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-20, custom extensions, upgradeable proxies, gas-optimized mint mechanics, and on-chain royalties enforcement.

  • Solidity
  • Foundry
  • Hardhat
  • OpenZeppelin
◇

NFT Collection Launches

Allowlist tooling, signature-based mints, reveal mechanics, metadata pipelines, and IPFS / Arweave hosting wired up before drop day.

  • Allowlists
  • Reveals
  • Metadata
  • IPFS
◈

Audits & Security Review

Independent code review with written reports, threat modeling, fuzzing, and remediation pairings before you put real money behind your contracts.

  • Slither
  • Echidna
  • Fuzzing
  • Threat models
◉

Mint Sites & dApps

Production-grade frontends with wallet connect, gas previews, transaction states, and the kind of mobile polish your community will actually use.

  • Next.js
  • wagmi
  • viem
  • RainbowKit
How it works

From kickoff to on-chain in four steps.

Every Chainlab engagement runs the same playbook. No mystery, no scope creep, and you always know what's happening on-chain before it happens.

  1. 01

    Discover

    A 60-minute architecture call. We map your token mechanics, ownership model, and revenue flows, then send back a written scope and fixed quote within 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Design

    You get a contract spec, mint flow diagrams, and gas estimates before a single line of Solidity is written. Approve once, build with confidence.

  3. 03

    Build & Audit

    We write contracts test-first in Foundry, ship a testnet deployment in week one, and run an internal audit against the spec before any external review.

  4. 04

    Deploy & Support

    Mainnet deployment, mint-day war room, and 30 days of post-launch support included. Hand-off docs your future engineering team will thank you for.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a typical launch take?

A standard Drop engagement runs 4–6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet. Studio and Protocol projects typically run 8–12 weeks depending on complexity. We always commit to a fixed timeline before signing.

Which chains do you deploy on?

Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Scroll, zkSync, and Avalanche. If your chain is EVM-compatible we can ship there.

Do you handle the art and brand work?

No — we partner with the artists and studios you bring. We do help review file specs, layer counts, and rarity tables to make sure the metadata pipeline is sane before generation starts.

What does "audit" mean at Chainlab?

For Drop projects, every contract gets an internal review by a senior engineer who didn't write the code, plus automated analysis with Slither and a Foundry fuzzing suite. Studio and Protocol engagements include an external audit from one of three firms we work with regularly.

Do you take equity or token allocations?

Cash only for engagement work. We're happy to discuss longer-term retainers and advisory arrangements separately.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full IP transfer on final payment, MIT-licensed by default. We keep the right to reference the project as a case study unless you ask us not to.
