Strategic Infrastructure Decision
Build vs. Buy: Custom Bridge vs. Generic SDK
A detailed comparison of the time, cost, and risk involved in developing a custom cross-chain bridge in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's specialized bridge design service.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Generic SDK | Chainscore Custom Bridge |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 2-4 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $100K | $75K - $200K |
Security Posture | High Risk (unaudited, novel code) | Medium Risk (community-tested, limited customization) | Low Risk (formally audited, custom security review) |
Architecture Flexibility | Complete Control | Limited to SDK capabilities | Tailored to your specific tokenomics & logic |
Ongoing Maintenance Burden | Full team required | Your team + SDK provider | Optional SLA with 24/7 monitoring |
Cross-Chain Support | Custom integration per chain | Pre-defined list of chains | Custom integrations for any EVM/L1/L2 |
Settlement Finality | Variable (your implementation) | Variable (SDK dependency) | < 2 seconds with optimistic verification |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $700K+ | $80K - $150K | $100K - $250K (incl. optional SLA) |

PREDICTABLE, TRANSPARENT EXECUTION
Our Phased Delivery Methodology
We de-risk your bridge development with a structured, milestone-driven process. Each phase delivers a verified, auditable outcome, ensuring alignment, security, and predictable progress from concept to mainnet launch.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Consensus
We define the core bridge architecture, validator set model, and consensus mechanism. Deliverables include a detailed technical specification, security threat model, and a finalized tech stack decision (e.g., IBC, Axelar GMP, or custom optimistic/zk-rollup).
2-3 weeks
Duration

Technical Specification
02
Phase 2: Core Protocol Development
Our engineers build and unit-test the core smart contracts for locking/unlocking, minting/burning, and message relaying. This includes the on-chain verifier logic and the off-chain relayer/service orchestrator.
4-6 weeks
Duration
