Smart Contracts That Actually Work
Back in 2019, we watched a client lose sleep over a failed contract deployment. The code looked perfect on paper, but somewhere between development and mainnet, things broke. That experience taught us something crucial—writing smart contracts isn't just about syntax. It's about understanding how blockchain behaves when money's involved.

Which Scenario Sounds Familiar?
Starting From Scratch
You've got an idea that needs blockchain, but you're not sure where to begin. Maybe you've read about smart contracts but need someone who can translate business logic into secure, testable code.
Fixing What Broke
There's already a contract in place, but gas fees are ridiculous or something's not working as expected. You need someone to diagnose the issue without rebuilding everything.
Scaling Up
Your proof of concept worked great with 50 users. Now you're looking at thousands, and you're worried about whether your contracts can handle the load—or the cost.
How Things Change
We've seen this pattern play out dozens of times. A team starts with high hopes and ambitious plans. Then reality hits. Here's what the journey typically looks like before and after working together.
Common Pain Points
- Uncertainty about security vulnerabilities in existing code
- Deployment failures that eat up time and budget
- Gas optimization problems making transactions expensive
- Testing gaps that only reveal themselves in production
- Documentation that doesn't match what's actually deployed
What Improves
- Contracts audited with clear security documentation
- Reliable deployment pipeline with rollback capabilities
- Optimized gas usage reducing transaction costs significantly
- Comprehensive test coverage catching issues early
- Living documentation that updates with code changes
How We Actually Work
No two projects follow exactly the same path. But there's a pattern to how we approach smart contract work that tends to reduce surprises and keep things moving forward.
Understanding What You Need
First conversation usually lasts about an hour. We dig into what the contract needs to do, who'll interact with it, and what could go wrong. Sometimes we discover the problem doesn't need blockchain at all—and we'll tell you that.
Planning the Architecture
Before writing any code, we map out the contract structure. This includes state variables, functions, events, and security considerations. You get a document that explains the plan in plain language.
Development and Testing
We write tests alongside code. Each function gets checked against expected behavior and potential edge cases. You can watch progress through our shared repository and ask questions anytime.
Deployment Strategy
Going live isn't just pushing code to mainnet. We test on testnets first, verify everything works with real-world conditions, then deploy with monitoring in place to catch any unexpected behavior.
What We've Learned
After five years in this space, certain truths keep showing up. The blockchain doesn't care about your intentions—it executes exactly what you wrote, not what you meant. That's why we spend more time thinking than typing.
Gas optimization matters more than most people realize. We once helped a client reduce their contract deployment cost by 60% just by restructuring how data was stored. Those savings add up fast when you're processing hundreds of transactions daily.
The Taiwan market presents unique challenges. Regulatory considerations differ from other regions, and local infrastructure requirements need specific attention. We've navigated these waters enough times to know where the rocks are.
From Someone We've Worked With
We had a token contract that worked fine in testing but kept failing on mainnet. Three different developers looked at it and couldn't figure out why. The wittycogni team identified the issue in about two hours—turns out it was a timing problem with how blocks were being validated. They didn't just fix it, they explained what went wrong so we understood it ourselves.
