Blockchain development · Smart contracts
Smart contract development Dubai companies commission from Next Orbit starts with a question: which part of this agreement should run as code on a shared ledger, and which part belongs in ordinary software? Where the answer is clear, we write the contract in Solidity for Ethereum-compatible networks or as chaincode on Hyperledger Fabric for a permissioned network, build the admin console and integrations around it, and put every contract through unit tests, a testnet run and an independent audit before it touches mainnet.
Quick answer
Smart contract development Dubai organisations need is the writing, testing and deployment of code that executes an agreement on a blockchain: releasing escrow when goods arrive, paying royalties on each resale, issuing and transferring tokens under whitelisting rules, or recording a certificate that anyone can verify. Next Orbit, a Dubai software company, writes contracts in Solidity for Ethereum-compatible networks and as chaincode for Hyperledger Fabric, using OpenZeppelin libraries and the ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155 and ERC-3643 standards where they apply. Every contract is unit-tested, run on a testnet with real scenarios and reviewed by an independent auditor before mainnet. We then build the parts a business actually operates: an admin console, identity checks, wallets or custody integration, and links to your ERP and reporting. This page is not legal advice.
What we deliver
Pick a deliverable to see what it covers and the part of the stack behind it.
Deliverable 01
We write the agreement down in plain language first: the parties, the states, the triggers, who can pause or upgrade, and what happens when something goes wrong. That specification is reviewed by your legal and compliance advisers, then becomes the test plan the code must pass before anyone writes Solidity.
From the stack
Deliverable 02
Contracts for EVM networks are written in Solidity with OpenZeppelin libraries, Hardhat or Foundry tests and gas reports. Permissioned networks for banks, trade groups and government use Hyperledger Fabric with chaincode in Go or Node, private data collections and certificate-based identity, so only approved organisations can read or write.
From the stack
Deliverable 03
Escrow that releases on a delivery confirmation, letters of credit modelled as state machines, milestone payments for construction and supply contracts, and profit-share or Sharia-compliant structures reviewed with your scholars and advisers. Each one has a manual override path your operations team controls.
From the stack
Deliverable 04
ERC-20 for fungible units, ERC-721 and ERC-1155 for unique and semi-fungible items, and ERC-3643 or similar permissioned standards where transfers must respect KYC, whitelists and jurisdiction rules. Royalty logic, vesting schedules and treasury controls are added where the business model needs them.
From the stack
Deliverable 05
Unit tests cover every state and failure path, a testnet run replays real scenarios with your team, and an independent audit firm reviews the code before mainnet. Deployment scripts, multisig ownership, pause and upgrade mechanisms and monitoring are set up so the contract can be operated safely.
From the stack
Deliverable 06
A web console lets your operations and compliance staff see balances, approve actions, manage whitelists and export reports without a developer. Events from the chain are written to your ERP or accounting system, and e-tijariX can raise the VAT-correct invoices and ledger entries that go with each settlement.

Part of our blockchain development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallThe work is delivered from one office in Dubai across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the whole UAE and the GCC.
As a blockchain development company Dubai regulators and banks will recognise, we also provide blockchain consultancy UAE firms use before committing budget: a short study that tests whether a ledger improves the process at all, and if so which network, token standard and custody model fit the rules that apply to you.
Several parties need the same tamper-evident record, the rules can be written precisely, and the value of automatic execution outweighs the cost of change.
Solidity with Hardhat or Foundry and OpenZeppelin libraries for EVM networks, Go or Node chaincode for Hyperledger Fabric, and conventional backends for everything that does not need a ledger.
Audited contracts with deployment scripts, an upgrade and pause plan, the admin console, integrations, documentation for your compliance team and support after mainnet launch.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our blockchain development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.
Flow 01 Identity & KYC Smart contracts Payment gateway
Flow 02 Wallets & apps Smart contracts ERP & accounting
Flow 03 Certificates & assets Smart contracts Public verification

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
We test whether a ledger improves the process, then choose the network, standard and custody model with your advisers.
Parties, states, triggers, overrides and failure handling are written down and signed off as the test plan.
Contracts are written in Solidity or as Fabric chaincode with full unit tests and a testnet rehearsal.
An independent audit is completed, findings are fixed and the contract is deployed under multisig ownership.
The admin console, monitoring and ERP links go live, with support and a change process for upgrades.
Who it is for
Escrow and settlement with counterparties who do not share a single bank.
Token issuance, treasury controls and settlement logic under licence conditions.
Fractional ownership, rental income distribution and transfer rules enforced in code.
Provenance, royalties on resale and certificates that outlive any single database.
Credentials anchored on a ledger so employers verify them in seconds.
Permissioned Hyperledger networks shared between departments or member organisations.
Questions, answered
For public and open projects we use Ethereum-compatible networks, chosen for fees, finality and the wallets your users already hold. For banks, consortia and government we use permissioned networks on Hyperledger Fabric, where every participant is identified and data can be kept private between parties. The choice is made in the study, not assumed.
We design to the rules that apply to the activity: VARA in Dubai, the ADGM framework in Abu Dhabi, the SCA and the Central Bank at federal level. Where an activity needs a licence, we build the controls the licence expects, such as KYC, whitelists and reporting, and we work with your legal adviser throughout. This is not legal advice.
Yes. Blockchain consultancy UAE businesses ask us for is a short, fixed-scope study: the process mapped, the case for a ledger tested honestly, the network and token standard chosen, custody and compliance options compared, and a build plan you can take to any supplier. If a normal database would serve you better, the study says so.
An independent firm reviews the code for reentrancy, access control, arithmetic and logic errors, checks it against the specification and tests the deployment scripts. Findings are classified, fixed and re-tested, and the report is shared with your compliance team. We do not deploy to mainnet without a completed audit.
Only if it is designed that way. We use proxy patterns for upgrades and a pause control held by a multisig wallet your organisation controls, with the rules written into the specification and disclosed to users. Fixed, immutable contracts are used where the business model requires that guarantee.
Yes. Events emitted by the contract are captured by an indexer and written to your ERP, CRM or accounting system, and actions approved in those systems can trigger transactions through the admin console. VAT-correct invoices and ledger entries can be raised in e-tijariX, which Next Orbit implements and supports.
Yes. Next Orbit is a Dubai software company that pairs smart contracts with the conventional systems institutions already run: identity checks, ERPs, reporting and dedicated deployment where compliance rules require it. Projects for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider GCC are delivered from the same Dubai office.
