overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production by veteran Web3 engineers.

We architect and deploy battle-tested smart contracts that form the unbreakable backbone of your protocol. Our development process is built on security-first principles and delivers production-ready code in weeks, not months.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored Solidity/Rust contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise use cases.
  • Security Rigor: Multi-layered audits using Foundry/Hardhat, formal verification, and OpenZeppelin standards.
  • Gas Optimization: Every line of code is profiled to reduce deployment and transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.

We don't just write code; we engineer trust. Our contracts power protocols securing over $500M+ in TVL, with a 0 critical vulnerability track record.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE PROTECTION

Our Hardware-Backend Security Architecture

Chainscore's multi-layered security model isolates cryptographic secrets in certified hardware, ensuring your IoT devices are protected from software-based attacks and physical tampering.

01

HSM-Grade Secure Enclaves

Private keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Keys never exist in plaintext outside the secure boundary.

Zero Exposure
Key Policy
02

Tamper-Evident Hardware

Our provisioning devices feature active anti-tamper meshes and environmental sensors. Any physical intrusion attempt triggers immediate key zeroization, rendering the device cryptographically inert.

Air-Gapped Key Provisioning

Initial key material is loaded into devices via a physically isolated, offline workstation. This eliminates the primary attack vector of network-based key interception during manufacturing.

Cryptographic Agility & Lifecycle

Support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and automated key rotation policies. Manage the entire key lifecycle—from generation to rotation to secure destruction—via our dashboard.

Our Implementation Process

A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a production-ready, audited key management system for your IoT fleet, ensuring zero downtime and full compliance from day one.

01

Architecture & Threat Modeling

We conduct a comprehensive security assessment of your IoT ecosystem to design a zero-trust architecture. This includes defining secure communication channels, key lifecycle policies, and hardware security module (HSM) integration strategies tailored to your device constraints.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a rigorous audit process using both automated tools and manual review, ensuring they meet enterprise-grade security standards before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, and bespoke business logic.
  • Gas Optimization: Write efficient code to reduce transaction costs by up to 40% for your users.
  • Upgradeable Patterns: Implement secure proxy patterns (ERC-1967, UUPS) for future-proof, non-breaking upgrades.
  • Full Testing Suite: Deliver comprehensive unit and integration tests with >95% coverage.

Deploy battle-tested contracts in weeks, not months, with a clear path from audit to production.

Technical & Commercial Details

IoT Bitcoin Key Management FAQs

Answers to common questions from CTOs and product leads evaluating secure key management for Bitcoin IoT applications.

We implement a multi-layered security architecture: hardware security modules (HSMs) or secure enclaves (like TrustZone) for key generation and storage, air-gapped signing processes, and zero-trust network principles. Keys never exist in plaintext in device memory. Our firmware is built using Rust for memory safety and undergoes formal verification for critical cryptographic operations.
