BUILT FOR SCALE
Core Technical Capabilities
Our AppChain DeFi infrastructure is engineered for production-grade reliability, security, and performance. We deliver the foundational components so your team can focus on building unique financial products.
01
Custom AppChain Deployment
We deploy dedicated, EVM-compatible AppChains using proven frameworks like Polygon CDK, Arbitrum Orbit, or OP Stack. This provides you with full control over transaction fees, block times, and network governance, eliminating shared network congestion.

Choosing Your DeFi Infrastructure Foundation
AppChain vs. Shared L2: A Strategic Comparison
Selecting the right infrastructure is critical for DeFi protocol performance, cost, and control. This table compares the trade-offs between a dedicated AppChain and deploying on a shared Layer 2 network.
| Key Factor | Dedicated AppChain | Shared L2 (e.g., Arbitrum, Base) |
|---|---|---|
Throughput & Performance | 10,000+ TPS, dedicated resources | Shared resources, variable performance |
Transaction Cost Control | Set your own gas model & fees | Subject to network congestion & L1 fees |
Time to Finality | < 2 seconds, predictable | Varies (1-10 min), depends on L1 |
Sovereignty & Upgrades | Full control over chain logic & upgrades | Governed by L2 core devs; upgrade delays |
Native Token Utility | Gas token is your protocol token | Must pay fees in ETH or L2 native token |
Security Model | Ethereum L1 or Celestia for data availability | Inherits security from Ethereum L1 |
Time to Launch | 8-12 weeks with Chainscore | 1-2 weeks for contract deployment |
Team & Operational Overhead | Chainscore handles infra; you focus on app | You manage only contracts; infra is abstracted |
Ideal For | High-frequency DEXs, order-book exchanges, gaming economies | NFT projects, early-stage protocols, social apps |

AppChain Development FAQs
Answers to common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating dedicated blockchain infrastructure for DeFi.
From initial design to mainnet launch, a standard deployment takes 4-8 weeks. A modular EVM-compatible chain with basic DeFi primitives can be live in 4 weeks. Complex ecosystems with custom consensus, native bridges, and multiple dApps require 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial architecture review.
