Our Dependency Management Framework
A systematic approach to managing, versioning, and securing your smart contract dependencies. Eliminate deployment risks and accelerate development cycles with a framework built for production.
01
Automated Dependency Resolution
Automatically resolve, pin, and verify all external smart contract dependencies (OpenZeppelin, Chainlink, Uniswap) to prevent version conflicts and ensure deterministic builds.
100%
Build Consistency
0
Version Conflicts
02
Immutable Version Locking
Pin every dependency to a specific, audited bytecode hash and version. Guarantee that your production contracts deploy with the exact same code used in testing and staging.

Contract Dependency Management
Managed Service vs. Manual Handling
Compare the operational overhead, security posture, and total cost of managing your smart contract dependencies internally versus using Chainscore's managed service.
| Capability | Manual In-House Management | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
Initial Setup & Configuration | 2-4 weeks of dev time | Fully managed setup in < 3 days |
Dependency Vulnerability Scanning | Manual, ad-hoc scripts | Automated, daily scans with alerts |
Version Conflict Resolution | Manual debugging, high risk of downtime | Automated conflict detection & resolution plans |
Upgrade Deployment Automation | Custom scripts, manual verification | CI/CD pipeline with pre-deployment simulations |
Security Audit Coverage | Limited to internal review | Integrated audit reports from 3+ firms (OpenZeppelin, CertiK, Quantstamp) |
Incident Response SLA | Team-dependent, no guarantee | Guaranteed 1-hour response, 4-hour resolution SLA |
Multi-Chain Support (EVM, Solana, etc.) | Requires separate, specialized tooling per chain | Unified dashboard & tooling for all major chains |
Total Annual Cost (Engineering + Tooling) | $180K - $350K+ | From $60K/year with predictable pricing |
Guaranteed Uptime for Dependency Feeds | No SLA, self-hosted risk | 99.95% SLA with financial backing |

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
We architect and deploy custom Solidity and Rust smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our code is built on OpenZeppelin standards, undergoes rigorous security audits, and is designed for gas efficiency and upgradability via proxies.
Deliver a secure, audited, and maintainable smart contract foundation in as little as 2-4 weeks.
- Custom Logic: Tailored tokenomics, staking mechanisms, governance, and multi-sig wallets.
- Security First: Formal verification, unit/integration testing, and pre-audit reviews.
- Full Lifecycle: From initial spec to deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) or Solana.
Contract Dependency Management
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how we manage, version, and secure your smart contract dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities and streamline development.
We implement a rigorous, multi-layered dependency management process. First, we conduct a comprehensive security audit of all proposed dependencies, checking for known vulnerabilities, gas inefficiencies, and governance risks. We then pin dependencies to specific, audited versions using package managers like Foundry or Hardhat. Our standard practice includes forking critical dependencies into your project's namespace for complete control and generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for full transparency. This process has secured over $500M in TVL across client projects.
