CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
Deliver a secure, functional MVP in under 3 weeks with our streamlined development process.
Our end-to-end service includes:
- Architecture & Design: Tokenomics modeling, gas optimization analysis, and upgradeability planning.
- Implementation: Custom logic for DeFi protocols, NFT collections, DAOs, and enterprise applications.
- Testing & Security: Comprehensive unit/integration tests and a pre-audit review to minimize vulnerabilities.
- Deployment & Verification: Mainnet deployment on
Ethereum,Polygon,Arbitrum, or other EVM/SVM chains with full source code verification.
We focus on long-term security and maintainability. Every contract includes clear documentation, admin controls, and a roadmap for future upgrades, ensuring your protocol remains robust as it scales.

ARCHITECTURE & SECURITY
Core Framework Capabilities
Our modular, security-first framework provides the foundational components for secure, scalable, and future-proof cross-chain governance. We deliver battle-tested infrastructure, not just theoretical designs.

Build vs. Buy: Managing Multi-Chain Upgrades
A detailed comparison of the costs, risks, and resource allocation required to build a cross-chain governance and upgrade system in-house versus partnering with Chainscore Labs.
| Critical Factor | Build In-House | Partner with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Deployment | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $600K+ | $75K - $200K |
Annual Maintenance & Security | $150K - $300K (2-3 FTEs) | Optional SLA from $50K/year |
Security Audit Coverage | High Risk (Requires separate, costly audits) | Built-in (Pre-audited frameworks & patterns) |
Protocol Coverage & Integration | Limited to team's expertise | Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, zkSync |
Upgrade Failure Risk | High (Custom, untested code paths) | Low (Battle-tested, version-controlled modules) |
Team Expertise Required | Senior Solidity, DevOps, Security, Protocol Specialists | Your core product team + our specialists |
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) | Variable (Hours to Days) | < 4 hours (Enterprise SLA) |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $400K - $900K+ | $125K - $250K |

Solidity/Rustdevelopment to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance. - Security-First: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, followed by rigorous internal review and preparation for third-party audits. - Production Focus: Contracts are designed for real-world use, with upgradeability patterns, pausable functions, and comprehensive event logging.
Cross-Chain Governance & Upgrade Framework
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our framework accelerates secure, multi-chain protocol development and management.
Our framework is a modular, audited system of smart contracts and off-chain components that enables protocols to manage governance (proposals, voting, treasury) and execute seamless, secure upgrades across multiple blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base). It abstracts chain-specific complexity, providing a single, unified interface for decentralized decision-making and deployment.
