overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by experts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts on EVM and Solana, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one. Our process delivers production code in 2-4 weeks, not prototypes.

  • Full Lifecycle Development: From specification and Solidity/Rust coding to testing, deployment, and maintenance.
  • Security-First Approach: Built with OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and pre-audit reviews.
  • Protocol Specialization: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, custom AMMs, lending vaults, and governance systems.

We guarantee zero critical vulnerabilities in our delivered code, backed by our internal audit process before external review.

GUARANTEED DATA INTEGRITY

What Our Substrate Backup Service Delivers

We provide deterministic, verifiable backups for Substrate-based chains, ensuring your runtime state is recoverable from any catastrophic failure. Our service is built for production-grade reliability.

01

Deterministic State Snapshots

We capture cryptographically verifiable snapshots of your chain's runtime storage at every finalized block. This guarantees the ability to rebuild an identical chain state from any point in history.

Why a generic solution fails for Substrate chains

Generic Backup vs. Chainscore's Substrate-Specialized Approach

Standard backup tools treat blockchain data as generic key-value stores, missing the critical context of Substrate's runtime state. Our specialized approach ensures complete, consistent, and recoverable state snapshots.

PRODUCTION-GRADE PROCESS

Our Methodology for Reliable Archival

We architect Substrate storage backup systems with a focus on data integrity, operational resilience, and seamless recovery. Our process is built on verifiable engineering principles, not promises.

01

Multi-Layer State Verification

We implement cryptographic hashing and Merkle proof validation at every backup interval, ensuring the archived chain state is an exact, tamper-evident replica of the live network.
