We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process integrates security-first principles from day one, ensuring your protocol is resilient against exploits and operates as intended.
Institutional Hot/Cold Wallet Recovery
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a secure, functional MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks, with a clear path to production.
- Custom Logic: Tailored
Solidity 0.8+/Rust/Vypercontracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise use cases. - Security Foundation: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, comprehensive unit/integration testing, and pre-audit code review. - Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and post-launch maintenance on chains like Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Solana.
Our Recovery Methodology
A structured, multi-layered approach designed for institutional-grade security and operational resilience, minimizing downtime and eliminating single points of failure.
Multi-Signature Protocol Design
We architect and implement custom multi-signature schemes (e.g., Gnosis Safe, custom MPC) with configurable quorums. This ensures no single individual can access funds, enforcing governance policies and mitigating insider threats.
Geographically Distributed Key Sharding
Private keys are cryptographically split into shards stored in secure, geographically disparate locations (HSMs, secure enclaves). Recovery requires assembling a pre-defined threshold of shards from independent custodians.
Deterministic & Verifiable Procedures
Every recovery step is documented in a runbook and encoded into automated checks where possible. We provide cryptographic proof of shard integrity and transaction signing authority throughout the process.
Regular Drills & Compliance Audits
We conduct scheduled, non-destructive recovery drills to validate procedures and team readiness. Our methodology is designed to meet and exceed standards for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and financial regulatory compliance.
Business Outcomes of Professional Recovery
Partnering with Chainscore for institutional wallet recovery transforms a critical vulnerability into a strategic asset. We deliver quantifiable security, operational, and financial results.
Zero Single Point of Failure
Our multi-signature, geographically distributed key sharding architecture eliminates the risk of a single compromised location or individual halting operations. This ensures business continuity even under duress.
Regulatory & Audit Compliance
Designed for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 frameworks. We provide a verifiable, immutable audit trail for all recovery actions, satisfying internal governance and external regulatory requirements.
Minutes, Not Months
Move from manual, high-risk processes to automated, policy-driven recovery. Our orchestrated workflows enable authorized recovery in minutes, drastically reducing downtime and treasury exposure.
Eliminate Insider Threat
Implement strict role-based access control (RBAC) and separation of duties. No single engineer or executive can initiate a recovery, requiring consensus from pre-defined, independent parties.
Future-Proof Protocol Support
Recovery solutions that evolve with the ecosystem. We support EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and Bitcoin with a modular design for rapid integration of new chains and standards.
Insurance & Liability Clarity
Our professional service and clear SLAs provide the documented due diligence required to secure comprehensive custody insurance, often at improved rates, by de-risking the recovery process.
Professional Recovery vs. Ad-Hoc Response
Comparing the structured, secure approach of a dedicated recovery service against the risks and hidden costs of improvised solutions.
| Recovery Factor | Ad-Hoc / DIY Response | Chainscore Professional Service |
|---|---|---|
Response Time Guarantee | Unpredictable (hours to days) | SLA-Backed (< 4 hours) |
Security & Audit Trail | Manual, prone to error | Fully automated, cryptographically verifiable |
Multi-Sig Coordination | Manual key gathering via chat/email | Automated, non-custodial ceremony orchestration |
Compliance & Reporting | None or manually compiled | Full audit log for regulators & internal audit |
Team Expertise | Internal team (variable skill) | Dedicated crypto security engineers |
Failure Risk | High (single point of failure) | Low (redundant, tested processes) |
Post-Incident Analysis | Ad-hoc review | Formal root-cause and process hardening report |
Total Cost of Ownership (Annual) | $50K+ in engineering time + risk | Predictable retainer ($75K-$200K) |
Our Recovery Process
A structured, auditable, and secure process designed to restore access to institutional assets with zero loss of funds. We combine cryptographic expertise with institutional-grade operational security.
1. Secure Intake & Verification
We initiate a multi-signature verification protocol to authenticate your identity and ownership claims before any technical work begins. All communication is encrypted and logged for audit trails.
2. Forensic Analysis & Strategy
Our engineers analyze the wallet architecture, key sharding scheme, and failure mode. We develop a bespoke recovery plan detailing cryptographic techniques, tools, and contingency procedures.
3. Isolated Execution Environment
Recovery operations are performed in a physically and digitally isolated, air-gapped environment. We use hardware security modules (HSMs) and dedicated, non-networked machines to eliminate remote attack vectors.
4. Cryptographic Reconstruction
Leveraging techniques like Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), or brute-force parameter search, we reconstruct the private key or seed phrase without ever exposing complete secrets.
5. Secure Asset Migration
Recovered assets are immediately transferred to a new, client-controlled wallet setup with enhanced security practices. We provide a full transaction audit and guide you through securing the new vault.
6. Post-Recovery Audit & Hardening
We deliver a comprehensive report of the recovery process and conduct a security review of your new custody setup. Recommendations include MPC upgrades, policy changes, and disaster recovery planning.
Institutional Wallet Recovery FAQs
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and security leads ask when evaluating institutional-grade wallet recovery services.
Standard deployment for a multi-signature hot/cold wallet recovery system is 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, security audit integration, and team onboarding. Complex setups with custom governance or cross-chain requirements may extend to 6-8 weeks.
