Proof-of-Retrievability & Slashing Services

Implement and audit robust PoR schemes and associated slashing conditions for decentralized storage networks, ensuring economic security and reliable data recovery by penalizing malicious or negligent storage providers.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications and deployed to production.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise applications. Our process delivers production-ready code in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Every contract is built on battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and follows Solidity 0.8+ best practices for security and gas efficiency.

  • Full Lifecycle Development: From specification and architecture to deployment and verification on EVM chains.
  • Comprehensive Audits: Internal review plus integration with top security firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 15-40% through efficient code patterns and storage strategies.

A PREDICTABLE PATH TO PRODUCTION

Our Delivery Methodology: From Audit to Mainnet

We deliver Proof-of-Retrievability and slashing systems through a structured, security-first process. This ensures your validator network is robust, compliant, and ready for mainnet launch.

01

Architecture & Threat Modeling

We begin by designing your system's architecture and identifying potential attack vectors. This includes defining slashing conditions, economic parameters, and data availability guarantees.

Technical & Commercial Questions

Proof-of-Retrievability & Slashing FAQs

Get clear answers on our approach to building secure, economically robust decentralized storage and validator networks.

A standard Proof-of-Retrievability (PoR) and slashing mechanism deployment takes 3-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet audit. This includes design, smart contract development, integration testing, and a final security review. Complex multi-chain or custom consensus integrations can extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones at the start.
