Emergency Security Council Formation

A rapid-response service to design, deploy, and operationalize a multi-sig security council with time-limited, elevated permissions to pause governance, mitigate exploits, or execute critical upgrades in a DAO emergency.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.

We architect, develop, and deploy custom smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and ready for mainnet. Our process delivers a 2-4 week MVP for new protocols, with full audit support.

  • Security-First Development: Built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries and internal audit practices.
  • Protocol Expertise: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, custom DeFi logic, DAO governance, and cross-chain bridges.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and testing to deployment, verification, and post-launch monitoring.

We deliver contracts that pass rigorous security reviews, reducing your time-to-audit and mitigating critical risks before launch.

PROVEN INCIDENT RESPONSE FRAMEWORK

What Our Emergency Security Council Service Delivers

We provide a structured, multi-sig governance framework to protect your protocol's treasury and operations during critical security events, minimizing financial loss and reputational damage.

01

Multi-Sig Council Formation

We architect and deploy a secure, multi-signature wallet council with 3-7 trusted, vetted signers. This establishes a formal governance layer for emergency fund control, preventing single points of failure.

Emergency Response Playbook

Receive a comprehensive, step-by-step operational manual for council members. It defines clear triggers (e.g., exploit detection), communication protocols, and approval workflows for rapid, coordinated action.

Smart Contract Security Audit

Our council deployment includes a dedicated security review of all related multi-sig and timelock contracts by our in-house experts, ensuring the emergency mechanism itself is not a vulnerability.

Signer Onboarding & Training

We facilitate the secure onboarding of your chosen council members, providing technical setup support and training sessions on their responsibilities, tools, and security best practices.

Post-Incident Analysis Framework

Beyond immediate response, we establish a transparent process for post-mortem analysis. This includes documenting decisions, assessing fund recovery, and proposing protocol upgrades to prevent recurrence.

Continuous Governance Support

We offer ongoing advisory for council operations, including signer rotation procedures, threshold adjustments, and integration with your DAO's broader governance system as your protocol evolves.

Business Outcomes: Protect Value and Maintain Trust

Our Emergency Security Council formation service delivers more than a crisis plan. It provides a concrete framework to protect user assets, preserve protocol integrity, and maintain stakeholder confidence during critical incidents.

01

Minimize Financial Exposure

We implement multi-sig pause mechanisms and automated kill switches to halt protocol operations within minutes, preventing further loss of funds during an exploit. Our council structure ensures rapid response to freeze vulnerable contracts.

Preserve Protocol Reputation

A transparent, pre-defined emergency process demonstrates proactive governance to users and investors. We document clear communication protocols for public disclosure, managing the narrative and maintaining trust during a security event.

Accelerate Post-Incident Recovery

Beyond the emergency halt, we design and test upgrade pathways for redeploying patched contracts and restoring user funds. This minimizes downtime and gets your protocol back to full, secure operation faster.
