We build overcollateralized lending protocols with battle-tested architecture, delivering production-ready systems that handle billions in TVL. Every feature is designed for security, capital efficiency, and seamless integration.
Overcollateralized Lending Protocol Development
Core Protocol Features We Deliver
Gas-Optimized Liquidation Engine
Automated, non-custodial liquidation mechanisms with Dutch auctions or fixed discount models. Built with MEV resistance and keeper incentivization to ensure bad debt is cleared within seconds, protecting lender funds.
Multi-Asset Vault Architecture
Support for ERC-20, ERC-721, and wrapped assets in isolated or cross-collateralized pools. Flexible interest rate models (linear, kinked, dynamic) and reward distribution systems for lenders and borrowers.
Comprehensive Admin & Governance
Granular, multi-sig controlled parameter management (fees, rates, caps) with optional DAO integration via Snapshot/Tally. Full transparency into protocol state, reserves, and risk metrics through an admin dashboard.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
We deliver a production-ready, secure, and capital-efficient lending protocol that generates predictable revenue from day one. Our focus is on technical excellence and measurable business results.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Go from concept to mainnet in 6-8 weeks with our battle-tested protocol architecture and deployment pipeline, including front-end integration and oracle setup.
Phased Development Timeline & Deliverables
A transparent breakdown of our structured 8-week development process for delivering a secure, production-ready overcollateralized lending protocol.
| Phase & Key Deliverables | Timeline | Technical Scope | Client Review & Sign-off |
|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1: Architecture & Smart Contracts | Weeks 1-2 | Protocol design, tokenomics model, core Solidity contracts (LendingPool, PriceOracle, Liquidator) | Architecture diagram, contract specifications, finalized tokenomics document |
Phase 2: Core Protocol Development | Weeks 3-5 | Complete contract suite deployment on testnet, integration tests, basic front-end interface for admin functions | Testnet deployment link, audit-ready codebase, test coverage report (>95%) |
Phase 3: Security Audit & Refinement | Weeks 6-7 | Integration with leading audit firm, vulnerability remediation, final testnet stress testing | Audit report summary, patched contract deployment, final security review |
Phase 4: Mainnet Deployment & Launch | Week 8 | Production deployment on mainnet (Ethereum/Polygon/Arbitrum), front-end dApp launch, monitoring dashboard setup | Live mainnet protocol, deployment verification, handover documentation |
Post-Launch Support (Optional SLA) | Ongoing | 24/7 monitoring, bug fixes, performance optimization, and upgrade management | 99.9% uptime SLA, monthly performance reports, dedicated engineer support |
Technical Architecture & Stack
Our battle-tested architecture delivers enterprise-grade security, high throughput, and seamless integration for your lending protocol. We focus on modular, audited components that reduce time-to-market and operational risk.
Liquidation Engine
Automated, MEV-resistant liquidation system with configurable health factor thresholds. Features batch processing, gas-efficient auctions, and real-time position monitoring to minimize bad debt.
Risk & Parameter Management
Dynamic risk models supporting isolated and cross-margin pools. Admin dashboard for real-time adjustment of LTV ratios, interest rate curves, and collateral factors without protocol upgrades.
Frontend & SDK
React-based admin and user interfaces with integrated Web3 wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect). Includes TypeScript SDK for third-party integrators and automated testing suites.
Deployment & DevOps
CI/CD pipeline with Hardhat/Foundry for multi-chain deployment (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon). Includes monitoring with Tenderly, block explorers, and 24/7 incident response.
Build with Chainscore vs. Alternative Approaches
A detailed comparison of development paths for launching a secure, scalable overcollateralized lending protocol.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Use Generic Templates | Chainscore Professional |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production Launch | 6-12 months | 2-4 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Security Audit | Optional (High Risk) | Not Included | Mandatory & Included |
Smart Contract Architecture | Custom (Variable Quality) | Fixed, Often Outdated | Modular & Gas-Optimized |
Oracles & Price Feeds | Manual Integration | Basic Integration | Pre-integrated (Chainlink, Pyth) |
Liquidation Engine | Build from Scratch | Basic Logic Only | Advanced, MEV-Resistant System |
Multi-Chain Deployment | Complex & Costly | Not Supported | Supported (EVM L1/L2s) |
Ongoing Protocol Upgrades | Your Team's Burden | Limited Support | Managed Upgrade Path |
Total First-Year Cost | $250K - $600K+ | $10K - $30K | $80K - $200K |
Primary Risk Profile | Security Flaws, Delays | Exploits, Inflexibility | Managed & Mitigated |
Integrated Security & Audit Process
Security is non-negotiable in DeFi. Our process, from initial design to post-deployment, is built to protect your protocol's assets and reputation, ensuring institutional-grade resilience.
Architectural Threat Modeling
We begin with a systematic analysis of attack vectors specific to overcollateralized lending, including oracle manipulation, liquidation inefficiencies, and governance attacks, before a single line of code is written.
Formal Verification & Static Analysis
Leverage tools like Slither and Mythril for automated vulnerability detection. We apply formal methods to critical logic (e.g., health factor calculation, liquidation math) to mathematically prove correctness.
External Audit Coordination
We manage the entire audit lifecycle with top-tier firms like Spearbit or Code4rena. Our team prepares detailed specs, facilitates communication, and implements findings with tracked resolution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for building robust lending protocols.
A complete, production-ready overcollateralized lending protocol typically takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes a 2-week design and architecture phase, 3-4 weeks of core smart contract development, 2 weeks for internal testing and audits, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration. Complex features like multi-chain support or custom oracle integrations can extend this timeline.
