BRINGING DECENTRALIZED APP DEVELOPMENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

What we build across the dApp stack

Working with our dApp team is closer to hiring your own product team than outsourcing a task.

1. 1
   Requirements and scoping

   We work with you to understand the business idea and pin down requirements. That means separating the on-chain elements from the off-chain ones, defining the technical components of each, and agreeing where the boundary sits, because that boundary drives both cost and security.

2. 2
   Design and architecture

   We select the chain and stack, build a proof of concept for the risky parts first, and design the interface and technical architecture together. We aim the proof of concept at the hardest problem first, so the expensive surprises surface early while they are still cheap to change.

3. 3
   Development and deployment

   We build the app in short cycles: contracts, frontend, and off-chain services, each tested as it lands. Contracts go through testnet and audit prep, then we deploy to the target chain and ship the frontend to production.

4. 4
   Maintenance and iteration

   After deployment we prioritize the backlog with you, add contracts and services as the product grows, and keep everything current with chain upgrades and security patches. We treat the app as a product with a roadmap that continues past launch.

FAQ

• What does a dApp development company do?

  A dApp development company builds decentralized applications: software where part of the logic runs on a blockchain through smart contracts instead of entirely on a private server. The work spans three layers. The smart contracts hold the rules and the value, written in Solidity for EVM chains or Rust for Solana and audited before launch. The frontend is where users connect a wallet and interact, built with frameworks like React or Vue and libraries such as Ethers.js. The off-chain layer, often overlooked, indexes chain events and caches data so the app feels fast instead of waiting on the chain for every read. At Aegas the same senior team covers all three, and has shipped 100+ blockchain projects since 2017, including production DEXs that depend on exactly this stack.

• Which blockchains do you build dApps on?

  We build primarily on EVM-compatible chains, which include Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and BNB Chain, and on Solana for applications that need its throughput. For smart contracts that means Solidity on EVM chains and Rust on Solana. Chain choice is an architecture decision we make with you during scoping. Ethereum mainnet gives the deepest liquidity and the strongest settlement guarantees at the highest gas cost; an L2 such as Arbitrum or Base keeps EVM tooling while cutting fees, which matters for consumer-facing dApps with frequent transactions; Solana suits high-frequency use cases where transaction cost has to be near zero. If a product needs to run across more than one chain, we design the cross-chain approach as part of the build rather than bolting it on later.

• Do you build custom dApps or use templates?

  Both, chosen deliberately. Where a well-audited, widely-used protocol already solves part of the problem, we reuse it, because rewriting a battle-tested contract from scratch adds risk without adding value. Where your product needs logic that does not exist yet, we build it custom in Solidity or Rust and prepare it for a third-party audit. The decision is made per component during architecture: a token standard or a proven AMM is worth reusing; the mechanics that make your product different are worth building properly. What we do not do is ship a renamed template and call it custom development. If a build is mostly configuration of existing tools, we say so, because that changes the cost and the timeline in your favor.

• How much does dApp development cost?

  Cost tracks the complexity of the app and how much of it needs custom smart contract work. The main drivers are the number and complexity of contracts, whether the design can reuse audited protocols or has to be built from scratch, the amount of off-chain infrastructure the product needs, and whether a third-party audit is required, which it is for anything holding user funds. A focused MVP is far cheaper than a full production platform, and part of our job early on is to find the cheapest path to a working product. We scope accurately after a discovery call and flag where the cost is driven by audit scope versus development, so you can decide what to build now and what can wait.

• How long does it take to develop a dApp?

  A dApp timeline ranges from a few weeks for a focused MVP to several months for a full production platform. The biggest factor is the complexity of the contract logic and how much off-chain infrastructure the app needs. Anything that holds user funds also carries a third-party audit window, usually one to three weeks on top of development, which cannot be safely skipped. We use an Agile approach and break the work into testnet milestones you can verify as they land, rather than delivering everything at the end. That structure lets you see progress on the risky parts first and adjust scope before cost runs away. We scope the timeline accurately after discovery and build the audit window into the schedule from the start.

• What are the advantages of a dApp over a traditional app?

  The core difference is where trust and state live. A dApp keeps its rules and its value in smart contracts on a public blockchain, so the logic runs without a single operator who can quietly change it, and the record is resistant to tampering. Removing the single central server also removes a single point of failure, which makes the application harder to take down. Those properties are real, but they are not free: on-chain logic is public, costs gas to run, and is expensive to fix once deployed, which is exactly why the contracts have to be right and audited before launch. A dApp is the correct choice when transparency, user-owned assets, or trust-minimized rules matter to the product. When they do not, a conventional backend is often the cheaper and better answer, and we will tell you so.
