How fast can the pod start?

Within 24 hours of greenlight after a 3-day free trial. The trial runs against a real scoped task, so you see the engineering depth before you sign anything. Replacement is free within 14 days if the fit is wrong.

Devlyn AI · Solidity

Solidity pods, owned by us. Embedded with you.

Senior Solidity engineers under one retainer, with AI-augmented workflows that compress 100 hours of typical work to 25. Deployed in 24 hours.

Where $Solidity fits

Solidity pods typically ship complex DeFi protocols, automated market makers (AMMs), decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance contracts, and multi-signature wallet architectures. Devlyn engineers ship rigorously tested smart contracts leveraging OpenZeppelin standards, upgradeable proxy patterns, and strict gas optimization.

AI-augmented Solidity workflows lean on Claude Code for scaffolding boilerplate ERC-20/ERC-721 contracts, Hardhat/Foundry test generation, and initial gas profiling — under extreme senior validation that owns the reentrancy protection, integer overflow/underflow prevention, and formal verification pathways. Compression shows up in test suite generation, but zero compression is applied to the security audit phase.

Smart contract engagements run as highly specialized pods for $10,000–$20,000/month, usually involving one lead Solidity engineer and one backend engineer for the Web3.js/Ethers.js integration layer. All code goes through third-party audits before mainnet deployment.

Where Solidity pods land today

Six combinations that show up most often in the last few quarters of Solidity discovery calls — vertical, geography, and the named-risk pattern each engagement designed around.

Solidity · B2B SaaS · New York

Solidity for B2B SaaS in New York

The most common 2026 B2B SaaS engineering trap is integration-first roadmaps that fragment the codebase into per-customer hacks and one-off webhook handlers, creating a maintenance debt spiral that slows all future feature work. Solidity pods compress the work — solidity pods typically ship complex defi protocols, automated market makers (amms), decentralized autonomous organization (dao) governance contracts, and multi-signature wallet architectures. On the Eastern (ET) calendar, fte-only paths to scale engineering in nyc routinely run 2–3 quarters behind the roadmap.

Common questions about Solidity engagements

What does a Solidity pod actually own end-to-end?

Architecture, security review, and the Solidity-specific patterns that production-grade work requires. Solidity pods typically ship complex DeFi protocols, automated market makers (AMMs), decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance contracts, and multi-signature wallet architectures. Devlyn engineers ship rigorously tested smart contracts leveraging OpenZeppelin standards, upgradeable proxy patterns, and strict gas optimization.
How does AI-augmented Solidity differ from a single contractor using AI tools?

AI-augmented Solidity workflows lean on Claude Code for scaffolding boilerplate ERC-20/ERC-721 contracts, Hardhat/Foundry test generation, and initial gas profiling — under extreme senior validation that owns the reentrancy protection, integer overflow/underflow prevention, and formal verification pathways. Compression shows up in test suite generation, but zero compression is applied to the security audit phase. The 4× compression comes from pod-level workflow design, not from individual tool adoption.
What does a Solidity engagement typically cost?

Smart contract engagements run as highly specialized pods for $10,000–$20,000/month, usually involving one lead Solidity engineer and one backend engineer for the Web3.js/Ethers.js integration layer. All code goes through third-party audits before mainnet deployment.
Which Solidity ecosystem libraries does Devlyn cover?

Solidity ecosystem depth includes Hardhat and Foundry for development/testing, Ethers.js/Viem for frontend integration, OpenZeppelin for secure contract foundations, Chainlink for decentralized oracles, and Graph protocol for on-chain data indexing.
