- Vendor Selection: Objective evaluation of providers like Alchemy, QuickNode, and Chainstack.
Move from concept to production with a clear, risk-mitigated infrastructure plan. We ensure your stack is built for 99.9% uptime and can handle your next 10x user growth.
Core Architecture Components
Our modular, battle-tested components provide the secure, compliant, and high-performance foundation required for institutional-grade yield vaults. Each component is designed for seamless integration and audited to the highest standards.
Business Outcomes for Your Fund
Our institutional-grade vault architecture delivers measurable advantages, from enhanced security to predictable operational costs, enabling your fund to scale with confidence.
Institutional-Grade Security Posture
Multi-signature governance, formal verification, and continuous on-chain monitoring protect your fund's assets. We implement battle-tested security patterns from OpenZeppelin and undergo regular third-party audits.
Predictable, Optimized Fee Structure
Transparent, auditable fee mechanisms with built-in gas optimization reduce operational costs. Our architecture minimizes on-chain interactions, directly impacting your fund's bottom line.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Designed with compliance in mind, featuring permissioned access controls, transaction whitelisting, and comprehensive audit trails. Simplify reporting for your legal and compliance teams.
Rapid Strategy Integration
Modular architecture allows for quick integration of new DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Compound, Uniswap) and custom yield strategies. Reduce time-to-market for new investment products.
Enhanced LP Transparency & Reporting
Automated, real-time reporting dashboards provide LPs with clear visibility into vault performance, asset allocation, and fee accrual, building trust and reducing administrative overhead.
Scalable, High-Availability Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade node infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA ensures reliable transaction execution and data availability, even during network congestion, protecting your fund's operations.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Vault vs. Public Pools
A direct comparison of the strategic, technical, and financial trade-offs between developing a proprietary yield vault in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's managed service, contrasted with the limitations of public DeFi pools.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Managed Vault | Public DeFi Pools |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 4-8 weeks | Immediate |
Initial Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K | $0 |
Security & Audit Burden | High (Your responsibility) | Included (Pre-audited templates) | Variable (Protocol risk) |
Custom Strategy Logic | Full control | Full control via modules | None (Fixed parameters) |
Compliance & Reporting | Your team builds | White-label dashboard included | None |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full-time DevOps/Devs | Optional SLA from $20K/year | None (Reliant on protocol) |
Institutional-Grade SLAs | Build from scratch | 99.9% Uptime, 4h response SLA | None |
Multi-Chain Deployment | Complex, per-chain effort | Single deployment, managed cross-chain | Per-chain, manual bridging |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $700K+ | $70K - $170K | Gas + Slippage only |
Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, four-phase methodology designed to deliver institutional-grade yield vaults with audited security, predictable timelines, and seamless integration into your existing financial stack.
Architecture & Strategy
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your target yields, risk parameters, and compliance requirements to design a bespoke vault architecture. This includes protocol selection (e.g., Aave, Compound, Lido), fee structure modeling, and integration strategy for your front-end.
Smart Contract Development
Our senior Solidity engineers build your core vault logic, deposit/withdrawal mechanisms, and yield harvesting automation using battle-tested patterns. All code follows OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit/integration testing.
Security & Audit Integration
Every vault undergoes a rigorous, multi-layered security review. We integrate findings from leading third-party auditors (e.g., Spearbit, Code4rena) and conduct internal formal verification to ensure capital protection and logic correctness before mainnet deployment.
Deployment & Integration
We manage the full production deployment, including multi-sig setup, front-end SDK integration, and real-time monitoring dashboards. We provide comprehensive documentation and handover to ensure your team can operate and iterate on the vault independently.
Institutional Yield Vault FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating our institutional-grade vault architecture services.
Our standard engagement follows a 4-phase process: Discovery & Architecture (1 week), Smart Contract Development (2-3 weeks), Security Audit & Testing (1-2 weeks), and Mainnet Deployment (1 week). Typical end-to-end delivery is 5-7 weeks. For clients with existing specifications, we've delivered MVP vaults in as little as 3 weeks.
