DeFi
How much does DeFi development cost and how long does it take?
Direct answer
DeFi MVPs (single-chain AMM or staking): $40K–$80K, 3–4 months. Mid-tier (farming, governance, multi-pool): $80K–$200K, 5–7 months. Enterprise cross-chain DeFi: $250K–$600K+, 8–12 months. Add $10K–$50K+ per audit cycle and significant liquidity capital beyond dev cost.
Details
Cost drivers: contract complexity, oracle dependencies, governance tokenomics, bridge integrations ($30K–$80K each), and number of audit rounds.
Uniswap-class forks with custom UI: $30K–$50K if reusing audited contracts—still need deployment, front-end, and liquidity plan.
Ongoing: monitoring, re-audits, incentive programs, RPC/indexer hosting—budget 15–25% of build annually.
