Build vs. Buy: Custom Arbitration Bridge vs. Standard Bridges
A technical and economic comparison of developing a custom cross-chain payment dispute arbitration bridge in-house versus partnering with Chainscore Labs for a managed solution.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Standard Bridge (e.g., Axelar, LayerZero) | Chainscore Custom Arbitration Bridge |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Market | 6-12+ months | Immediate | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $750K+ | $0 (integration only) | $50K - $150K |
Dispute Arbitration Logic | Custom, requires legal/tech design | None (messaging only) | Pre-built, customizable modules |
Security Audit & Assurance | Your responsibility ($50K-$100K) | Relies on bridge provider's audit | Included (OpenZeppelin, CertiK patterns) |
Multi-Chain Support | Custom per chain (high complexity) | Broad, but generic | Tailored to your target chains (EVM, non-EVM) |
SLA & Uptime Guarantee | Your team's responsibility | Provider's SLA (often limited) | 99.9% Uptime SLA with monitoring |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full-stack team required | Managed by provider, limited customization | Fully managed with optional on-call support |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $850K+ | $10K - $50K (fees + integration) | $75K - $200K (all-inclusive) |
Integration with Existing Payment Rails | Custom development required | Possible with additional work | Pre-built adapters for Stripe, Adyen, etc. |
Compliance & Reporting Features | Built from scratch | Basic transaction data | Customizable dispute dashboards & audit trails |

Cross-Chain Dispute Arbitration
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our arbitration bridge secures your cross-chain payments, from integration to ongoing operations.
Our bridge uses a multi-layered, automated arbitration protocol. When a dispute is flagged, the system first analyzes on-chain transaction proofs and off-chain attestations. If unresolved, a decentralized panel of pre-vetted validators is triggered. They review the evidence against the encoded business logic, with a majority vote required to settle. The entire process is designed for finality within 1-4 hours, with all steps and evidence immutably logged on-chain for full auditability.
