Risk & Cost Analysis
Build vs. Buy: Why Specialized Development is Critical
A detailed comparison of the time, cost, and risk profile of developing a custom disaster recovery solution in-house versus partnering with Chainscore Labs.
| Factor | Build In-House | Partner with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Deploy a Viable System | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Security Audit & Penetration Testing | External cost: $20K-$50K | Included in service package |
Expertise in DeFi-Specific Attack Vectors | Must be acquired/hired | Core competency, 5+ years experience |
Ongoing Monitoring & Alerting Infrastructure | Build & maintain internally | Managed 24/7 with 99.9% SLA |
Incident Response Time Guarantee | Team-dependent, no SLA | Guaranteed 4-hour response SLA |
Total First-Year Cost (Dev, Audit, Ops) | $250K - $600K+ | $80K - $200K |
Post-Incident Forensic Analysis | Complex, manual investigation | Automated tooling & expert-led reports |

A PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Methodology: From Risk Assessment to On-Chain Deployment
Our systematic, four-phase approach ensures your DeFi protocol is resilient, secure, and ready for production. We move from threat modeling to live deployment with zero ambiguity.
01
Phase 1: Protocol Risk Assessment
We conduct a comprehensive threat analysis of your smart contracts, economic incentives, and governance model. This identifies critical vulnerabilities in logic, oracle dependencies, and financial attack vectors before they become incidents.

Phase 3: Smart Contract Fortification
Our engineers implement the recovery architecture directly into your codebase. We build with OpenZeppelin security patterns, gas-efficient emergency functions, and modular upgradeability using proxies or diamonds (EIP-2535).

Frequently Asked Questions on DeFi Disaster Recovery
Get clear answers on how Chainscore Labs builds resilient, secure disaster recovery plans for DeFi protocols. We address the most common technical and operational questions from CTOs and engineering leads.
Our process follows a structured 4-phase methodology proven across 50+ DeFi projects:
- Discovery & Risk Assessment (Week 1): We conduct a comprehensive audit of your smart contracts, governance, and operational dependencies to identify single points of failure.
- Plan Design & Documentation (Weeks 2-3): We draft a formal Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) with specific playbooks for incidents like oracle failure, governance attacks, or economic exploits.
- Implementation & Tooling (Weeks 3-4): We deploy monitoring, alerting, and fail-safe mechanisms (e.g., circuit breakers, pause guardians) and configure secure multi-sig protocols for emergency execution.
- Testing & Training (Week 5): We conduct tabletop exercises with your team to validate the plan and ensure seamless coordination under pressure.
