ScopeLift

ScopeLift is a software engineering consultancy focused on crypto, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Broomall, Pennsylvania. Originally launched as a native mobile development shop, ScopeLift pivoted to become a dedicated crypto engineering firm, combining a passion for high-quality engineering, a keen understanding of business strategy, and deep knowledge of the blockchain ecosystem. Trusted by some of the most innovative teams in Web3, the firm has delivered mission-critical software for clients including Uniswap, Compound, Gitcoin, Optimism, PoolTogether, Obol, Endaoment, zkSync, and Project Eleven.

Core Services

ScopeLift offers a comprehensive suite of crypto engineering services:

• Smart Contract Development: ScopeLift engineers have been writing Solidity smart contracts since 2016. Smart contracts they have written have processed or custodied billions of dollars across DeFi and other blockchain applications. The firm brings rigorous engineering discipline to the inherently high-stakes world of immutable, on-chain code.

• Frontend dApp Development: The team builds accessible interfaces for crypto-enabled applications on web and mobile, bringing decades of traditional software engineering experience to the challenge of making decentralised technology usable for mainstream audiences.

• Backend Crypto Integration: ScopeLift engineers build backend systems that interface with blockchain networks — including event monitoring, state caching, data aggregation, and analytics pipelines — helping clients integrate crypto into their broader technology architecture.

• Business and Technology Strategy: Beyond pure engineering, ScopeLift advises clients on how blockchain and crypto will impact their industry and how to position for disruption or competitive advantage.

Open Source Projects

ScopeLift is a strong contributor to the Ethereum public goods ecosystem:

• Umbra Protocol: A privacy-preserving stealth payment protocol on EVM networks, with over $500M in value transacted and 350,000+ transactions across 5 networks.
• Flexible Voting: An extension to OpenZeppelin Governor — now part of the OpenZeppelin governance standard library — enabling novel voting schemes used by 8+ DAOs including Compound, zkSync, Wormhole, Gitcoin, and PoolTogether.
• ERC-5564 & ERC-6538: Two Ethereum Improvement Proposals co-authored by ScopeLift to standardise stealth addresses on the EVM.

Key Strengths

ScopeLift positions itself on engineering excellence, with a philosophy that there is no room for cutting corners when code is immutable and real money is at stake. The team is composed of crypto natives with backgrounds spanning aerospace engineering, mathematics, economics, computer science, and data science — all deeply embedded in the decentralised technology space. The firm operates as a fully distributed team.
