We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Our development process integrates formal verification and comprehensive testing to eliminate vulnerabilities before mainnet deployment.
Vote-Escrow (veToken) Model Design
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.
From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your requirements into efficient, gas-optimized code.
- Full lifecycle support: Audit, deployment, and upgrade management using
OpenZeppelinpatterns. - Protocol integration: Seamless compatibility with
ERC-20,ERC-721,Uniswap V3, and other major standards. - Guaranteed outcomes: Delivery of audit-ready contracts within agreed timelines, typically 2-4 weeks for an MVP.
Core Design Capabilities
We design and implement the foundational components of a robust veToken system, ensuring long-term alignment, security, and governance efficiency from day one.
Business Outcomes of a Custom veToken Model
A strategically designed vote-escrow system directly translates into tangible business metrics—from capital efficiency to protocol dominance. We architect your model to deliver specific, measurable results.
Enhanced Protocol Revenue & Fee Capture
Our models are engineered to maximize fee redirection to the protocol treasury and loyal token holders. We implement mechanisms like boosted rewards and fee splits that can increase protocol-controlled revenue by 40-60% compared to basic staking models.
Sustainable Long-Term Alignment
We design lock-up curves and decay functions that incentivize multi-year commitments, reducing sell pressure and aligning voter incentives with the protocol's multi-year roadmap. This leads to a more stable and committed governance base.
Competitive Liquidity Moats
A custom ve-model creates powerful flywheels for liquidity. By tying governance power and maximum rewards to long-term liquidity provision, we help protocols build deep, sticky liquidity pools that are difficult for competitors to replicate.
Reduced Governance Attack Surface
We implement security-first designs with time-locks, veto mechanisms, and quorum safeguards tailored to your token distribution. This protects against flash-loan attacks and whale manipulation, ensuring governance decisions reflect genuine, long-term stakeholder intent.
Faster Time-to-Market with Confidence
Leverage our battle-tested ve-token templates and modular architecture. We deliver a production-ready, fully audited system in 3-5 weeks, not months, allowing you to launch your core tokenomics and capture market timing.
Adaptable & Future-Proof Architecture
Our designs are modular, allowing for seamless upgrades to emission schedules, reward boost formulas, and lock mechanics via governance. This future-proofs your model against changing market conditions without requiring a full migration.
Custom veToken Design vs. Basic Fork: Key Differences
Choosing between a quick fork and a custom-built veToken model has significant long-term implications for governance security, tokenomics, and scalability. This comparison highlights the trade-offs in security, flexibility, and total cost of ownership.
| Key Factor | Basic Fork (e.g., veCRV) | Custom veToken Design by Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Launch | 2-4 weeks | 4-8 weeks |
Long-Term Development Cost | High (ongoing patches, upgrades) | Predictable (fixed-scope delivery) |
Security & Audit Status | Inherits all upstream risks | Fresh audit on custom, hardened code |
Governance Flexibility | Limited to original model's parameters | Fully customizable voting mechanics, lock curves |
Integration Complexity | High (must adapt your system to it) | Low (built to spec for your dApp) |
Multi-Chain Strategy Support | Manual, error-prone re-deployment | Architected for native cross-chain deployment |
Team Expertise Required | Deep protocol-specific knowledge | Our team provides full expertise |
Total Cost (Year 1) | $50K+ (dev time, audits, fixes) | $80K - $200K (all-inclusive project) |
Our veToken Design & Implementation Process
We architect and deploy secure, capital-efficient veToken systems that drive sustainable protocol growth and long-term user alignment. Our battle-tested process ensures your tokenomics are implemented correctly from day one.
veToken Design & Implementation FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, costs, and our proven methodology for building robust vote-escrow systems.
From initial design to mainnet deployment, a standard veToken implementation takes 2-4 weeks. This includes 1 week for architecture and smart contract development, 1 week for internal testing and audit preparation, and 1-2 weeks for client review, integration, and final deployment. Complex features like multi-asset staking or cross-chain governance can extend this timeline, which we scope and quote for upfront.
