The trade-off is sharper than it was in previous years. In 2022, Wormhole lost approximately $320 million in one exploit- a stark reminder of how devastating smart contract vulnerabilities can be.
The magnitude of losses makes the “in-house vs. partner” decision extremely significant.
Having your own internal team provides full control, but it's slow and expensive. Solidity or Rust engineers are in short supply. Even with an experienced engineer, maintaining expertise requires continuous exposure to audit and post-mortem analysis of exploits.
But when you work with a smart contract development company, you get immediate access to hardened workflows - secure coding standards, audit pipelines, and compliance preparedness. This approach is less about outsourcing and more about hiring a brigade that has already won critical battles.
Antier fits the model. Through our smart contract development services, we have delivered audited contracts for DAOs, DeFi lending platforms, and tokenized assets. The advantage lies in our practical experience, with patterns refined through hundreds of launches.
