We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana. Our contracts are built for high-frequency DeFi, enterprise-grade NFTs, and complex DAOs, with a focus on gas optimization and upgradability using patterns like ERC-2535 Diamonds.

ENGINEERED FOR SCALE
Core Architectural Capabilities
Our DID architecture is built on battle-tested principles, delivering the security, performance, and flexibility required for production-grade AppChains. We focus on verifiable outcomes, not just features.
01
On-Chain Identity Registry
Deploy a custom, gas-optimized registry smart contract on your AppChain. We implement the ERC-1056 (ERC-725) standard for maximum interoperability, with custom logic for your specific governance and recovery models.

02
Decentralized Key Management
Implement secure, non-custodial key management with social recovery, multi-sig guardians, and hardware wallet integration. We design systems that prevent single points of failure for user assets and data.

ZK-Proof Privacy Layer
Integrate zero-knowledge circuits (using Circom or Halo2) to enable selective disclosure of credentials. Users can prove attributes (e.g., KYC status, reputation score) without revealing underlying data.

Roadmap
AppChain DID Architecture Decision Matrix
Build vs. Buy vs. Chainscore
A technical and financial comparison of approaches for implementing a custom Decentralized Identity (DID) system for your application-specific blockchain.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Generic DID Provider | Chainscore AppChain DID |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 2-4 months | 4-8 weeks |
Architecture Fit | Perfect (eventually) | Poor (one-size-fits-all) | Perfect (custom-built) |
Security & Audit Burden | High (your team's responsibility) | Medium (shared risk) | Low (we provide audited core + your custom audit) |
Native Chain Integration | Your team builds it | Limited SDK/API | Deep integration with your consensus & state |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full-stack dev team required | Vendor roadmap dependency | Optional SLA with upgrade support |
Total First-Year Cost | $250K - $600K+ | $50K - $120K + usage fees | $80K - $200K (fixed project scope) |
Custom Logic (e.g., KYC hooks, governance) | Fully customizable | Highly restricted | Designed for extensibility |
Team Expertise Required | Senior Cryptography & Protocol Engineers | API Integration Engineers | Your Product Team + Our Specialists |
Example Outcome | High risk, delayed launch, core team distraction | Compromised UX, vendor lock-in, scaling fees | Secure, tailored identity layer accelerating your roadmap |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from CTOs and technical leads about implementing custom decentralized identity for your application-specific blockchain.
From design to production deployment, a standard AppChain DID architecture project takes 4-8 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and scoping phase, 2-3 weeks for core smart contract and SDK development, 1-2 weeks for integration and testing, and a final week for deployment and documentation. Complex integrations with existing KYC systems or multi-chain attestations may extend this timeline.
