ENGINEERED FOR ENGAGEMENT
Core Components of Our Retention Architecture
Our modular architecture delivers measurable player retention through on-chain incentives, proven to increase daily active users and lifetime value.
01
Dynamic Reward Schedulers
Automated, on-chain reward distribution based on player activity, time-in-game, and milestone completion. Configurable for daily, weekly, and seasonal campaigns without contract redeployment.
Client Value: Launch new incentive programs in hours, not weeks, to respond to market trends.
< 24 hours

Gas-optimized
Batch Distribution
02
Modular Staking & Vesting Vaults
Secure, audited smart contracts for time-locked rewards, yield-bearing staking, and cliff/linear vesting schedules. Built with OpenZeppelin standards and reentrancy guards.
Client Value: Create "skin in the game" mechanics that reduce churn by 40-60% for long-term holders.
ERC-4626 Compliant
Vault Standard
Trail of Bits Audited
Security
03
On-Chain Reputation & Achievement System
Immutable player profiles tracking achievements, loyalty tiers, and social proof via soulbound tokens (ERC-721S) or attestations. Enables tiered rewards and governance rights.
Client Value: Foster community and competition, driving a 3-5x increase in repeat engagement from top-tier players.

Build vs. Buy: Why Specialized Design Wins
Comparing the total cost and risk of building a custom loyalty system in-house versus partnering with Chainscore for a specialized, production-ready solution.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Partner with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production Launch | 6-12+ months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $250K - $600K+ | $75K - $200K |
Smart Contract Security | High Risk (unaudited, custom code) | Audited & Battle-Tested (OpenZeppelin patterns) |
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates | Requires dedicated team (2-3 FTE) | Fully managed service with optional SLA |
Expertise Required | Hire Solidity, DevOps, Security, Game Theory experts | Access to our full-stack Web3 engineering team |
Integration Complexity | High (custom API, wallet connectors, indexers) | Low (pre-built SDKs, documented APIs, dashboard) |
Scalability & Performance | Unproven; requires load testing & optimization | Proven at scale with 10,000+ concurrent users |
