Smart Contracts

AIGard writes, tests and reviews smart contracts that automate agreements on-chain. Because deployed contracts are hard to change, we put security first.

The work typically covers:

• Contract design and specification
• Smart contract development
• Unit and scenario testing
• Security review
• Deployment and verification
• Upgrade and governance patterns

Smart Contracts is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:

• You're launching a token, marketplace or protocol
• An agreement should execute automatically
• Existing contracts need review
• You need upgradeable contract patterns

On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.

AIGard secures smart contracts through careful design, extensive testing and security review before deployment. We also recommend an independent audit for high-value contracts.

Because deployed contracts are hard to change, we put security first. In practice that means a clear contract design and specification, unit and scenario testing, and a security review ahead of deployment and verification.

A smart contract can be changed after deployment only if it was designed to be upgradeable. AIGard agrees the approach with you up front.

Deployed contracts are hard to change, so the decision belongs in the design and specification stage. Where the ability to change is needed, we build in upgrade and governance patterns and cover them in testing and security review.

By proving the hardest assumption first. We scope a contained first milestone that tests technical feasibility before committing the full budget.

That gives you evidence for the next investment decision rather than a forecast.

Engineers are matched to your stack and domain at the first vetting stage, and you interview them before they join.

If we do not have the right specialists for a requirement, we will say so on the scoping call.

For Smart Contracts, AIGard engineers typically work with Solidity, Ethereum and TypeScript.

The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.

Smart Contracts is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.

The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
