We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment to EVM or Solana mainnets.
Vault Key Management & Recovery Service
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Standard & Custom Logic: From
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155tokens to bespoke DeFi protocols and governance systems. - Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing (
Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and post-launch monitoring. - Security Guarantee: All contracts undergo multi-stage audits and formal verification to mitigate financial risk.
Deliver a secure, audited, and gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, accelerating your time-to-market while protecting your assets and users.
Core Capabilities of Our Key Management Service
Our Vault service provides the cryptographic foundation for secure, compliant, and resilient blockchain operations. We deliver the core infrastructure that protects your digital assets and user identities.
Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration
Private keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs. This eliminates single points of failure and ensures keys never exist in plaintext in memory or on disk.
Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Wallets
Implement threshold signatures (t-of-n) to decentralize signing authority. Eliminate single points of compromise and enable secure, policy-based transaction approvals without a single private key.
Automated Key Rotation & Lifecycle Management
Enforce cryptographic agility with scheduled and event-driven key rotation. Our system manages the entire lifecycle—generation, activation, archival, and destruction—with full audit trails.
Social Recovery & Inheritance Frameworks
Configure customizable recovery flows using trusted guardians or institutional processes. Ensure asset accessibility is maintained without relying on fragile seed phrases or centralized custodians.
Compliance & Audit-Ready Logging
Every cryptographic operation generates an immutable, tamper-evident log. Streamline SOC 2, ISO 27001, and financial regulatory audits with detailed, queryable activity histories.
Multi-Chain & Protocol Support
A unified API to manage keys and sign transactions for EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum), Solana, Cosmos, and other leading networks. Future-proof your infrastructure.
Business Outcomes: Beyond Technical Security
Our vault key management service delivers measurable business advantages that accelerate growth and mitigate operational risk.
Accelerated Product Launches
Reduce time-to-market for new features by 60-80% with our pre-audited, modular key management modules. Integrate secure multi-party computation (MPC) or social recovery in weeks, not months.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Built-in compliance tooling for transaction monitoring, audit trails, and role-based access controls (RBAC). Our architecture is designed to meet SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and evolving global crypto regulations.
Operational Cost Reduction
Eliminate the overhead of building, securing, and maintaining in-house key management infrastructure. Our managed service model converts high fixed costs into predictable, scalable operational expenses.
Enhanced User Trust & Retention
Offer users non-custodial security with seamless recovery options. Reduce support tickets related to lost keys by over 90% and increase user lifetime value through superior security UX.
Institutional-Grade Risk Mitigation
Protect against single points of failure with geographically distributed, air-gapped signing ceremonies and real-time threat detection. Our SLAs guarantee 99.95% availability and sub-2-second signing latency.
Future-Proof Architecture
Our protocol-agnostic design supports EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and emerging L2s. Automatically integrate new blockchain standards and signature schemes without costly re-engineering.
Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Integration
A structured, four-phase methodology designed for CTOs who need enterprise-grade key security without the operational overhead. We deliver a production-ready, audited system with clear SLAs.
Phase 1: Architecture & Threat Modeling
We conduct a security-first design review of your application's key flows. This includes defining MPC/HSM requirements, access policies, and recovery mechanisms to meet your specific threat model and compliance needs.
Phase 2: Secure Implementation & Auditing
Our team builds the vault system using audited libraries (OpenZeppelin, MPC SDKs) and deploys it to your chosen environment. Every component undergoes internal security review before external audit.
Phase 4: Production Integration & Handoff
We integrate the vault with your application's backend, provide comprehensive documentation, and conduct knowledge transfer sessions with your engineering team for full operational ownership.
Build vs. Buy: Custom MPC vs. Generic Cloud KMS
Choosing the right key management foundation impacts security, developer velocity, and long-term operational cost. This comparison highlights why a purpose-built MPC solution outperforms generic cloud services for Web3 applications.
| Critical Factor | Build In-House MPC | Generic Cloud KMS (AWS/GCP) | Chainscore Vault |
|---|---|---|---|

Cryptographic Security Model | MPC (if built correctly) | HSM-based Single Key | Threshold ECDSA (MPC) |
Web3-Specific Features | Your team builds all | None | Native multi-chain signing, gas abstraction, smart account integration |
Key Recovery & Social Backup | Custom implementation required | Not applicable | Standard feature with configurable policies |
Audit & Compliance Readiness | Requires full audit ($50K+) | SOC 2, but not for blockchain | Pre-audited architecture, SOC 2 Type II compliant |
Ongoing Maintenance & Patching | Full-time crypto engineering team | Managed by cloud provider | Fully managed service with 99.95% SLA |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $500K - $1.2M+ | $50K - $150K | $75K - $200K |
Risk of Key Loss or Compromise | High (novel implementation) | High (single point of failure) | Low (distributed, audited, insured) |
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our enterprise-grade key management service works, from deployment to ongoing security.
Our vault is a programmable, non-custodial smart contract system that goes beyond basic multisig. It offers social recovery workflows, time-locked approvals, role-based access control, and automated policy enforcement. Unlike a simple 2-of-3 multisig, our solution provides an audit trail, gas abstraction for users, and seamless integration with your existing dApp UI, making it suitable for both institutional and consumer-facing applications.
