Multi-Chain Storage Strategy Consulting

Strategic advisory and architecture design for enterprises to implement resilient, cost-optimized decentralized storage across EVM, Solana, and Cosmos ecosystems.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for your specific business logic.

We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit trails.

  • End-to-End Development: From initial concept and Solidity 0.8+ coding to deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum).
  • Gas Optimization: We write contracts that minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption.
  • Security Audits: Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and is prepared for third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.

We deliver contracts you can trust, with clear documentation and a 2-4 week MVP timeline for standard token or NFT projects.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Our End-to-End Advisory Framework

We don't just provide recommendations; we partner with your engineering team to architect, implement, and validate a resilient multi-chain storage strategy that scales with your business.

01

Architecture & Protocol Selection

We analyze your application's data access patterns, cost sensitivity, and decentralization requirements to recommend the optimal protocol stack (e.g., IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin, Ceramic). We deliver a detailed architecture blueprint with trade-off analysis.

STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

Our 4-Phase Engagement Process

A structured, outcome-driven approach to architecting and implementing a resilient, cost-effective multi-chain storage strategy. We deliver a clear roadmap from assessment to production.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Feasibility Assessment

We analyze your current data model, smart contract architecture, and business logic to define optimal storage patterns. Deliverables include a technical specification, cost-benefit analysis of on-chain vs. off-chain solutions, and a recommended multi-chain blueprint.

Phase 2: Protocol & Infrastructure Selection

We evaluate and recommend the optimal stack: decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin), indexing (The Graph, SubQuery), and data availability layers (Celestia, EigenDA). We provide a vendor-agnostic comparison based on cost, speed, and decentralization.
