Blockchain Engineering & Smart Contract Development

Spec-driven.
Invariant-tested.
Solvency first.

We design, build and review smart contracts for DeFi protocols, asset tokenization and other blockchain products, from vaults, lending markets and AMMs to oracles and security tokens. Every system starts from the invariants it must hold and is tested against them, phase by phase, before it reaches an audit.

01 / SERVICES

Smart contract services, from first design to production code.

S-01

Smart Contract & Protocol Development

From a single contract to a full protocol. Design and implementation in Solidity, covering DeFi protocols (vaults, lending markets, AMMs, liquidation engines and oracles), tokens, NFT collections and permissioned tokens (ERC-3643).

S-02

Asset Tokenization

Smart contracts for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization on blockchain and DLT, from permissioned security tokens (ERC-3643) to identity, compliance and wallet recovery flows. We handle the technical side, working alongside your legal advisors.

S-04

Pre-Audit Hardening

Invariant and fuzz testing on your codebase to catch issues before your audit starts, so the auditors can focus on the deeper ones.

This is not a security audit. It prepares your code for one.

S-05

Audit Support & Remediation

Your audit report, handled through to the auditors' fix review. We coordinate with the audit firm, triage the findings, fix them with regression tests and prepare the deployment, whether or not we wrote the code.

Gustavo Martín

Founder · Protocol Architect & Senior Smart Contract Engineer

Gustavo designs and builds smart contracts for DeFi protocols and blockchain products. He is the lead smart contract engineer and protocol architect at Roofcast, and has worked on protocols such as MoveX, Dexynth, fija Finance and BeGlobal Finance.

Before blockchain, he spent three years at CERN as a fellow, building PLC and SCADA control software for the cooling and ventilation systems behind its accelerators and experiments, and nine years as co-founder and technical director of a fleet-tracking company. That background in systems that must fail safe is where the solvency-first approach comes from.

When you work with Tesselium, you work directly with him, from the first call to the last commit.

04 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Pre-Audit Hardening a security audit?

No. It is preparation for one. We add invariant and fuzz tests, run static analysis and fix what we find, so the auditors spend their time on the deeper issues. If your contracts will hold user funds, you should still get an independent audit. After the audit, we can also handle the remediation.

Do you take small projects?

Yes. A single contract, a token with vesting or an integration with an existing protocol are all welcome. Every project gets the same process, scaled to its size.

Which blockchains do you work with?

Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, including L2 networks. Our core stack is Solidity and Foundry. We also have experience with Rust and Anchor on Solana.

Do you build asset tokenization platforms?

We build the smart contract layer, including permissioned security tokens following ERC-3643, onchain identity and compliance rules, transfer restrictions and wallet recovery. Your legal advisors define the structure of the offering, and we implement the rules they set.

Do you provide legal or regulatory advice?

No. We work on the technical side, alongside your legal advisors, who decide which regulatory framework applies and which rules the tokens must enforce.

When should I get a design review?

Before the architecture is locked into code. Fixing a solvency issue in a design document takes days; fixing it after deployment can mean a migration, or worse.

How do you price your work?

Design reviews, pre-audit hardening and audit support are fixed-price, agreed after a first look at the scope or the audit report. Development and tokenization are billed by milestones or by the day, and fractional architecture as a monthly retainer. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.

How long does a project take?

A design review usually takes 1 to 2 weeks and pre-audit hardening 2 to 4, depending on the size of the codebase. Development timelines are agreed per milestone.

Can you work with our existing team and codebase?

Yes. We can join an ongoing project, review and extend existing contracts, or support your team as a fractional protocol architect.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, if you need one before sharing your code or design.
