Blockchain & Smart Contracts

On-chain engineering built by someone who has lived both sides of it. Smart contracts and automated strategies, decentralized-finance integrations, and — above everything — the security discipline that decides whether on-chain code survives contact with an adversary. We develop, audit, and advise across centralized and decentralized finance; we do not sell tokens, manage your money, or promise returns. The deliverable is engineering and judgment, not a position. The same bench also does on-chain forensics — following the money when funds are stolen, and delivering evidence packets for individuals, counsel, and law enforcement — as investigation-for-hire, never custody and never a recovery promise.

Scope is written collaboratively during discovery and signed off before any build work starts. Changes are handled as written amendments, not surprise invoices.

• Security is the whole job, not the last step.

  Smart contracts are adversarial software running on a public network where every line is readable and every bug is a bounty for someone else. We design under a written threat model, reason through reentrancy, oracle manipulation, MEV exposure, access-control and upgrade paths before code ships, and treat key management as a first-class part of the architecture. The founder rebuilt this practice on the other side of a DeFi exploit — the security posture here is lived, not borrowed.

• Multi-chain fluency, chosen per engagement.

  EVM chains and L2s, the major non-EVM networks, and the bridges between them — we pick the chain for the operation in front of us rather than the one with the loudest token. The same goes for the protocols a build composes on: established, audited venues like Aave and Balancer over whatever launched last week.

• Risk made explicit, on both sides of the aisle.

  Centralized and decentralized finance each carry a different risk surface — custody, counterparty, smart-contract, regulatory, liquidity. We name them plainly, in writing, so a client understands what they are taking on before they take it on. No hype, no maximalism, no pretending the downside isn't real.

• Built and audited, never gambled.

  Trading bots, flashloan-powered arbitrage, and MEV-aware execution are engineering problems with hard correctness and safety requirements — not a casino. We build them to specification, test them against adversarial and edge-case conditions, and hand back something a client can reason about. What a client chooses to do with capital is their decision; our job is that the system does exactly what it says.

• Reproducible forensics, banded confidence.

  The investigation work holds to the same standard as the engineering. Every conclusion in a RESILIENCE evidence packet ships with the queries, the heuristics, and the confidence band that produced it, anchored to a specific block height and UTC timestamp — a second qualified analyst with the same data can reproduce it. We do not publish conclusions we cannot defend in writing.

• In-house tooling, senior review on every artifact.

  We do not re-sell another firm's labelled-address dataset or hand back an output we cannot reproduce. Cluster reconstruction, mixer-pool reconciliation, bridge-event stitching, and deposit-address resolution are built in-house and audited against ground truth. No report leaves the practice without a second pair of senior eyes on the methodology and the redaction discipline.

• On-chain agents & automated trading strategies

  Production smart contracts and autonomous on-chain agents — trading bots, cross-venue arbitrage, and MEV-aware execution. Funded two ways: with the client's own capital, or flashloan-financed through established protocols like Aave and Balancer, where liquidity is borrowed with no upfront collateral and settles atomically in a single transaction — repay in-block, or the whole trade reverts as if it never happened. Designed against a written spec, tested against adversarial conditions, and shipped with the safety rails on-chain code demands.

• DeFi engineering & protocol integration

  Integrations with established protocols — lending and borrowing on Aave, liquidity and pools on Balancer, staking, and node operation. Decentralized-finance plumbing wired into your product without the brittle glue.

  From $4,999 · scoped per integration

• Blockchain security & smart-contract audits

  Spotlight

  Threat modeling, line-by-line contract review, and key-management hardening for teams shipping on-chain. The most important work we do here — and the reason the rest of it holds.

  From $3,999 · scoped per audit

• Blockchain consulting & education

  Plain-language guidance on centralized and decentralized finance — the benefits, the real risks, and where the two meet. For founders, teams, and individuals who want to understand the space before they commit to it.

  From $1,999 / month · advisory retainer

• Stolen-fund tracing & recovery support

  Spotlight

  Wallet clustering, bridge and mixer tracing, exchange liaison, and custom on-chain tooling we build in-house when an investigation calls for it — the work of following the money to where it currently sits. We are confident in tracing; we are honest about recovery. Public ledgers are immutable and self-custody wallets are non-penetrable by design, so any firm promising guaranteed recovery from the chain itself deserves a hard second look. What we deliver is the truth of where funds went, who controls them now, and the evidence packet your attorney, exchange contact, or law-enforcement officer needs to act on it.

  From $4,499 · typical cases $4.5K–$45K

• Investigations for individuals & families

  Personal engagements for victims of fraud, theft, scams, and rug pulls — many of whom have nowhere else to turn. We take the case, do the work, and deliver an evidence packet that puts the next move in your hands.

  From $1,999 · individuals & families

• Law-enforcement engagements

  RESILIENCE works with state, county, federal, and international law-enforcement agencies on cases involving lost or stolen funds. We deliver evidence packets to the requesting officer; we do not testify, we do not appear in court — courtroom presentation stays with the agency and counsel.

  From $3,499 · law-enforcement rate

• Attorney engagements

  RESILIENCE works directly with plaintiff and defense counsel on civil matters that touch the chain — fraud, asset recovery, divorce-asset tracing, estate matters, contract disputes. We deliver a written evidence packet you can use to inform negotiation, demand letters, discovery, or pleadings. We do not appear in court; counsel handles the legal surface.

  From $4,499 · counsel-of-record rate

• Evidence reports for investigators & counsel

  Reproducible methodology, on-chain transaction graphs annotated with block heights and timestamps, and a written report that documents what we found, how, and how confident we are. Designed to be read and acted on by the requesting officer or counsel — not by a courtroom.

How do you price engagements?

Fixed-price for well-scoped work, weekly retainer for open-ended or exploratory engagements. Pricing is always in the proposal brief before any contract.

Do you work with existing teams?

Yes. We regularly embed with in-house engineers, or augment a small team with specific capabilities — AI integration, infrastructure, design — for a defined period.

What happens after launch?

Either a written handoff so your team owns everything, or an ongoing retainer for maintenance, features, and on-call support. Your choice, stated up-front.
