FROM INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADVANTAGE
Business Outcomes: Why Custom Storage Matters
A purpose-built storage layer is not a technical detail—it's a core business enabler. Our custom Substrate pallet design translates directly into measurable performance, cost, and competitive advantages.
01
Optimized Transaction Costs
We design storage structures that minimize on-chain footprint, directly reducing gas fees for your users. This is a critical feature for high-frequency DeFi or gaming applications where cost predictability drives adoption.

Why Your Storage Layer Demands a Bespoke Approach
Custom Design vs. Generic Template: The Performance Gap
A direct comparison between using a generic, off-the-shelf storage pallet and a custom-designed solution optimized for your specific parachain's data model and performance requirements.
| Critical Factor | Generic Template | Chainscore Custom Design |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Implementation | 1-2 weeks | 3-5 weeks |
Transaction Throughput (TPS) | 500-1,000 TPS | 5,000-50,000+ TPS |
Storage Operation Latency | 50-100ms | < 10ms |
State Growth Management | Manual, Prone to Bloat | Automated Pruning & Archival |
Custom Data Model Support | Limited (Pre-defined) | Fully Tailored Schema |
Cross-Chain Data Availability | Not Included | Integrated IBC/XCMP Bridges |
Ongoing Optimization & Upgrades | Your Responsibility | Included in SLA |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $20K (License + Dev Time) | $75K - $150K (Full Solution) |
Risk of Bottlenecks at Scale | High | Negligible |

Frequently Asked Questions on Storage Pallet Design
Get clear, expert answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating a Substrate storage pallet development partner.
Our process is structured for clarity and speed. We begin with a 1-2 week Discovery & Specification phase to finalize requirements. Development follows in 3-6 week sprints, with bi-weekly demos. A typical custom pallet with standard storage structures (maps, double maps, bounded collections) takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to audit-ready code. Complex systems with custom on-chain logic or advanced data migration plans may extend this timeline, which we outline in a fixed-scope proposal upfront.
