Core Module Capabilities
Our development process delivers production-ready, audited Cosmos SDK modules that integrate seamlessly into your blockchain. We focus on security, interoperability, and regulatory alignment from day one.
Custom Rule Engine Development
We build flexible, on-chain rule engines for transaction validation, KYC/AML checks, and sanctions screening. Supports dynamic rule updates via governance proposals without hard forks.
Secure Identity & Credential Modules
Implement IBC-compatible identity modules for verifiable credentials (W3C VC) and decentralized identifiers (DIDs). Enables selective disclosure and privacy-preserving compliance proofs.
Transaction Monitoring & Reporting
Real-time monitoring hooks and automated reporting modules for regulatory bodies (FATF Travel Rule, MiCA). Generates auditable logs without compromising chain performance.
Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) Integration
Specialized IBC middleware and packet-forwarding modules for cross-chain compliance. Ensures regulatory policies are enforced on asset transfers across the Cosmos ecosystem.
Governance & Upgrade Management
Develop Cosmos SDK governance modules that allow token holders to vote on compliance parameter changes, rule updates, and module upgrades in a decentralized manner.
Security Audits & Formal Verification
Every module undergoes rigorous security review using static analysis, fuzzing, and formal verification tools specific to Cosmos SDK (e.g., Cosmos-specific linters, simulation testing).
Business Outcomes: Reduced Risk & New Markets
Our Cosmos SDK compliance modules are engineered to mitigate regulatory exposure and unlock access to institutional capital and new geographic markets. We deliver audited, production-ready code that future-proofs your blockchain application.
Regulatory Risk Mitigation
Deploy pre-audited compliance modules for sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and KYC/AML workflows. Integrate with leading providers like Chainalysis or Elliptic to meet global standards and reduce your legal liability.
Institutional-Grade Security
Build with enterprise trust. Our modules implement role-based access control (RBAC), multi-signature governance for rule updates, and comprehensive audit trails, enabling partnerships with banks and asset managers.
Access to Regulated Markets
Quickly adapt your application for jurisdiction-specific requirements like MiCA in the EU or VARA in Dubai. Our modular design allows for rapid customization of rulesets, accelerating your time-to-market in new regions.
Enhanced Investor Confidence
Demonstrate proactive governance with transparent, on-chain compliance. Provide verifiable proof of adherence to investors and regulators, strengthening your fundraising narrative and due diligence process.
Future-Proof Architecture
Avoid costly rewrites. Our SDK modules are built for upgradability using CosmWasm or native governance proposals, ensuring your compliance logic can evolve with changing regulations without network forks.
Operational Efficiency
Automate manual review processes with programmable logic. Reduce operational overhead and cost by embedding compliance directly into the chain's state machine, enabling real-time enforcement and reporting.

Our Development & Integration Process
A proven, security-first methodology for delivering production-ready Cosmos SDK modules that integrate seamlessly into your existing blockchain infrastructure.
Architecture & Specification
We begin with a deep technical analysis of your compliance logic, mapping it to Cosmos SDK's ABCI, Keeper, and MsgServer patterns. This phase delivers a comprehensive spec, including state machine diagrams and integration points, ensuring alignment with your chain's governance and upgrade paths.
Secure Module Development
Our team writes idiomatic Go code using the latest Cosmos SDK libraries. Every module includes comprehensive unit and integration tests, gas optimization, and follows IBC-compatible design principles for future interoperability.
Rigorous Testing & Simulation
We deploy your module to a dedicated testnet, executing state machine tests and adversarial simulations to identify edge cases. This includes custom simapp testing and load testing under mainnet-equivalent conditions.
Mainnet Integration & Deployment
We provide a step-by-step upgrade proposal and governance process, including migration scripts for state. Our team supports the on-chain upgrade execution and validates module functionality post-deployment.
Post-Launch Monitoring & Support
We establish monitoring for key module metrics (TPS, gas consumption, error rates) and provide ongoing maintenance for Cosmos SDK upgrades. Includes a 30-day warranty period for critical issue resolution.
