AppChain Design & Deployment

We design and deploy custom application-specific blockchains (AppChains) using Cosmos SDK and Substrate, delivering tailored scalability, governance, and economic models for high-performance dApps.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Blockchain Development

End-to-end blockchain application development from smart contracts to full-stack dApps.

We build production-grade blockchain systems that are secure, scalable, and user-ready. Our full-cycle development delivers custom smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and backend infrastructure tailored to your specific use case—from DeFi protocols to enterprise-grade supply chain solutions.

Go from concept to mainnet in weeks, not months, with our battle-tested development frameworks.

  • Smart Contract Development: Secure, gas-optimized contracts in Solidity, Rust (Solana), or Move (Aptos/Sui) with OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive unit testing.
  • Full-Stack dApp Builds: Integrated frontends (React/Next.js/Vue) with ethers.js/wagmi and scalable backend services (Node.js, GraphQL).
  • Protocol & Integration: Custom token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), cross-chain bridges, and oracle integrations (Chainlink, Pyth).
  • Security First: Every line of code undergoes peer review and is prepared for third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.

STRUCTURED FOR SUCCESS

Our Proven Delivery Methodology

We deliver production-ready AppChains through a rigorous, phase-gated process designed to de-risk development and accelerate your time-to-market. Every step is built on our experience deploying over 50 chains.

01

Architecture & Design Sprint

A collaborative 1-2 week sprint to define your chain's core parameters: consensus mechanism (PoS, PoA), EVM compatibility, tokenomics, and validator set. We deliver a detailed technical specification document.

AppChain vs. Smart Contract Platform

Choosing the right infrastructure foundation is critical for scalability and control. This table compares deploying a custom application-specific blockchain (AppChain) versus building on a shared smart contract platform.

Transaction Throughput (TPS)

Limited by host chain (e.g., 15-100 TPS)

Customizable (1,000+ TPS achievable)

Transaction Fee Control

Subject to host chain gas market volatility

You set the fee model and economics

Sovereignty & Upgradeability

Governed by host chain's upgrade process & community

Full autonomy over protocol rules and upgrades

Native Token Requirement

Uses host chain's native token (e.g., ETH, MATIC)

Define and use your own native token or gas token

Cross-Chain Interoperability

Native to the host chain's ecosystem; requires bridges for others

Built-in; can be designed for native interoperability with specific chains

Long-term Operational Complexity

Low (host chain handles consensus & security)

High (you manage validator set, security, and network ops)

Ideal Use Case

MVPs, niche dApps, projects prioritizing speed to market

High-throughput applications (GameFi, SocialFi, DeFi), enterprises needing custom rules

Technical & Commercial Questions

AppChain Development FAQs

Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders about our AppChain design and deployment process, timelines, and guarantees.

A standard, production-ready AppChain with a custom EVM-compatible execution layer and basic bridge integration typically deploys in 2-4 weeks. Complex deployments involving custom consensus, advanced tokenomics, or multi-chain interoperability can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial architecture review.
