overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our contracts are built for high-frequency trading, NFT minting, and DeFi protocols with gas optimization and upgradability in mind.

  • Security-First Development: Code is written in Solidity 0.8+ or Rust, following OpenZeppelin standards and undergoing rigorous internal audits before deployment.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and Hardhat/Anchor testing to mainnet deployment and post-launch monitoring via Chainscore.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Achieve >99.9% uptime, gas costs reduced by 15-40%, and a production-ready MVP in 2-4 weeks.

Our Delivery Process: From Risk Assessment to Live Monitoring

We deliver a structured, transparent process that integrates sanctions screening directly into your development lifecycle, ensuring compliance from day one without slowing you down.

01

1. Risk Assessment & Protocol Analysis

We conduct a deep technical audit of your smart contracts and tokenomics to identify sanctions exposure vectors. This includes analyzing governance mechanisms, cross-chain bridges, and liquidity pools for compliance gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions on Smart Contract Sanctions Screening

Get clear answers on how our sanctions screening service integrates, operates, and scales with your protocol.

Our service integrates an on-chain oracle or a secure off-chain API with your smart contract. When a user initiates a transaction (e.g., a token transfer or swap), the contract queries our screening engine. The engine checks the user's address against real-time, aggregated sanctions lists (OFAC, UN, EU, etc.). A compliant result allows the transaction; a flagged address triggers a configurable action—like reverting the transaction or routing to a holding contract—all within the same block. We use zero-knowledge proofs for private screening where required.
