Infrastructure Decision Matrix
Build a Cosmos AppChain vs. Alternative Paths
A technical and economic comparison of deploying a DePIN on a Cosmos AppChain versus other common blockchain architectures.
| Consideration | Cosmos AppChain (Recommended) | Generic Smart Contract | Layer-2 Rollup |
|---|---|---|---|
Sovereignty & Customization | Full control over chain logic, fees, and governance | Limited to host chain's constraints and upgrade cycles | Moderate; inherits base layer security with some config |
Time to Production | 4-8 weeks with our suite | 2-4 weeks for contract deployment | 6-12 weeks for node setup and integration |
Performance (TPS/Finality) | 1,000-10,000+ TPS, 2-6 second finality | Subject to mainnet congestion (15-50 TPS) | 2,000-5,000 TPS, ~12 minute finality to L1 |
DePIN-Specific Features | Native IBC, custom fee tokens, dedicated block space | Requires complex, expensive workarounds | Possible but limited by rollup VM design |
Security Model | Your validator set; optional shared security (Interchain Security) | Inherits Ethereum/Polygon security | Inherits Ethereum security with additional sequencer risk |
Annual Operational Cost | $50K-$150K (validators, infrastructure) | $20K-$80K+ (gas fees, depending on scale) | $100K-$300K (sequencer ops, data availability fees) |
Team Effort (DevOps/SRE) | Low (managed by Chainscore SLA) | Medium (monitoring, gas optimization) | High (node ops, fraud proofs, upgrade coordination) |
Interoperability | Native cross-chain via IBC to 50+ chains | Bridges required (security risk) | Bridge to L1 & other L2s (complex) |
