For DeFi · MEV · Bot builders

Ship the on-chain piece.
Or build it yourself.

Solidity + Rust contract dev built off a live Aave V3 liquidator on Base and Optimism. Hire us, learn from us, or both. Async only — no calls, no sales tag.

DLE Engineering

EVM contract development. Liquidation bots, MEV scaffolding, audit support. Async-first, GitHub-native, paid in stablecoins or wire.

Custom DeFi contract dev
$200/hr · $8k–$25k project · $4k/mo retainer

For projects that need a working bot, a custom contract system, or audit support. We've shipped a multi-chain liquidator on Aave V3, analyzed Critical-class bugs across Kamino / Morpho / Uniswap V4, and built MEV/arb scaffolding (Artemis pattern). We hand you running code + a runbook your team or agent can operate.

  • Turn-key liquidation bots (Aave V3, Compound V3, Morpho Blue, custom): $8k–$15k
  • Solidity contracts or small systems with full Foundry coverage: $3k–$12k
  • MEV/arb scaffolding (Artemis-style framework, no strategy logic): $12k–$25k
  • Audit support / pre-audit review: $200/hr, 8-hour minimum
48-hour quote turnaround · async over email or Signal · USDC or wire

Soroban Specialist

Stellar smart-contract development. Niche premium skill — fewer than 200 production Soroban devs globally. We've shipped one of them.

Stellar / Soroban contract work
$250/hr · $2k–$22k project

Soroban's transactional model (footprint declarations, storage TTL, fee-bump structuring) catches Rust generalists. We've shipped a 5-crate Stellar liquidator and know which SDK features are stable vs which will burn you in six months. Compatible with SDF/SCF grant deliverable formats.

  • Contract development (testnet + mainnet, integration tests, deploy scripts): $5k–$15k
  • Code review / audit (5-signal scoring, written findings, fix-review): $2k–$8k
  • Liquidation bot deployment (Blend / custom lending markets): $5k–$12k
  • EVM → Soroban migration: $8k–$22k

Liquidation Bot Playbook

14-day playbook + sanitized reference snippets to build a production Aave V3 liquidator on Base or any EVM L2. The gotchas no audit firm wrote down. Self-serve, async support, three tiers.

What it is: a structured 14-day plan with concrete acceptance criteria, sanitized Rust + Solidity reference snippets, Foundry test patterns, deploy scripts for both macOS launchd and Ubuntu systemd, and a gotchas appendix covering the two non-obvious WSS subscription bugs (Chainlink proxy → impl, QuickNode silently dropping multi-address eth_subscribe) that cost us 9.5 hours of silent failure to find.
Reader
$99

Self-serve. Written playbook + reference snippets + JSON spec for agent automation. Email support, no SLA.

Builder
$299

Reader + async Q&A over email/Signal within 30 days + one round of contract code review before mainnet. 48-hour response SLA.

Operator
$999

Builder + full deploy support for one mainnet chain + 30 days of async support + performance review at day 30. Permission to use code commercially.

What's not in the playbook: three alpha-grade features stay out so the playbook doesn't make a $99 buyer's bot match ours. The CEX divergence predictor (front-runs Chainlink updates by ~3-10s), the mempool-adjacent whale-piggyback strategy (grabs close-factor leftovers in-block), and the atomic batch path with multi-collateral support. These live in the DLE Engineering custom build engagement above.

Bot Catalog

Six Builder-Edition liquidators and MEV-framework listings — Aave V3 on Base / Optimism / Arbitrum, K2 on Stellar Soroban, Kinetic on Flare, and the multi-chain MEV scaffolding. Functional, deployable, stripped of the trade-secret optimizations we run in production. Nothing for sale yet — waitlist open, early-bird pricing locked when each bot ships.

Aave V3 Liquidator — Base
Live · Waitlist · Standard

Flagship. Based on the live aave.11 codebase running 24/7 on Base mainnet. Realistic earnings $200–$650/mo per our own deployment.

Aave V3 Liquidator — Optimism
Live · Waitlist · Standard

Same codebase as Base, deployed to OP mainnet. Smaller market, lower noise, same Builder-Edition exclusions.

Aave V3 Liquidator — Arbitrum
Deploy Ready · Waitlist · Standard

Configured for Arbitrum; not yet gas-funded. Identical Builder-Edition feature set, awaiting first commitment.

K2 Liquidator — Stellar Soroban
In Dev · Waitlist · Premium

Soroban-specific architecture for the K2 lending market. Rare niche — fewer than 200 production Soroban devs globally. Code in progress.

Kinetic Liquidator — Flare
In Dev · Waitlist · Standard

Compound-fork lending market on Flare. Dual-path Solidity (inventory + flash via SparkDEX V3) with 50/50 auto-compound. Day-1 contract done.

MEV Arb Framework — Multi-chain
Live · Waitlist · Standard

Artemis-pattern scaffolding for Base / OP / Arbitrum. Collector / strategy / executor traits. Framework only — your alpha strategy is supplied by you.

Builder Editions strip alpha on purpose. Liquidation is zero-sum — selling the exact bot we run against you in the same mempool shrinks the pie for both of us. Builder Editions ship the architecture and plumbing; the off-chain predictor, mempool piggyback, atomic batch path, hybrid top-K, and fast-path cache stay with us. Full-strength versions ship via DLE Engineering custom builds above ($8k–$15k per chain).

Aave V3 Health Factor Monitor
Live · Free · MIT

Paste any wallet address, see live HF + position breakdown + oracle freshness for Aave V3 on Base and Optimism. Read-only. Correctly resolves Chainlink AggregatorProxy → impl (the WSS gotcha we document in the playbook).

OracleFreshness
Verified contract · MIT

Stateless safe-read for Chainlink feeds — staleness + L2 sequencer-uptime + grace-period + non-positive-price guards in one call. 11 passing Foundry tests. Use it as a library reference or call the deployed address directly.
