ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155with custom minting, vesting, and governance. - DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, and compliant asset management.
Deliver a fully audited, gas-optimized contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical functions.
Core Capabilities for Custom Chains
We deliver production-ready, branded explorers for your AppChain or Parachain, accelerating your go-to-market and providing critical infrastructure for users and developers.
Custom Indexer & Data Pipeline
We build bespoke indexers that process your chain's unique transactions, events, and state. This ensures your explorer displays custom assets, governance actions, and staking data with 100% accuracy, not generic templates.
Branded Frontend & UX
A fully customized React/Next.js interface that matches your project's design system. We implement advanced features like token/NFT galleries, validator dashboards, and cross-chain transaction views to enhance user engagement.
Real-Time Analytics Engine
Integrated dashboards for monitoring network health, token economics, and user activity. Provides founders and investors with actionable insights into TVL, active addresses, and protocol growth metrics.
Enterprise-Grade Deployment
Managed deployment on AWS/GCP with automated CI/CD, DDoS protection, and 24/7 monitoring. We ensure 99.9% uptime SLA, handling traffic spikes during token launches or major governance events without downtime.
Smart Contract & RPC Integration
Deep integration with your chain's RPC endpoints and smart contracts. Enables direct interaction—staking, voting, bridging—from the explorer interface, turning a view-only tool into an interactive portal.
Security & Compliance Ready
Built with security-first principles: data encryption, rate limiting, and audit logs. Architecture is prepared for compliance requirements, with features for sanctioned address screening and privacy-preserving analytics.
Business Outcomes
Our custom AppChain and Parachain explorers deliver more than just data visualization. They are engineered to provide tangible business advantages, from accelerating development to enhancing user trust and driving adoption.
Accelerated Development Cycles
Reduce your team's time spent debugging and analyzing on-chain data by up to 70%. Our explorers provide real-time transaction tracing, contract state inspection, and event filtering, allowing developers to identify and resolve issues in minutes, not days.
Enhanced User Trust & Transparency
Provide your community and institutional users with a transparent, verifiable view of network activity. A branded, reliable explorer builds credibility, reduces support tickets related to transaction status, and fosters a stronger, more engaged ecosystem.
Actionable Business Intelligence
Move beyond raw data to actionable insights. Our explorers integrate custom analytics dashboards for key metrics like TVL, active wallets, transaction volume, and gas consumption, empowering product and business teams to make data-driven decisions.
Reduced Infrastructure Overhead
Eliminate the engineering burden of building and maintaining your own indexer and explorer stack. We handle the complex infrastructure—from node synchronization and data indexing to UI/UX—freeing your team to focus on core product development.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Reliability
Deploy with confidence. Our explorer infrastructure is built on battle-tested, open-source frameworks, undergoes regular security reviews, and is deployed with high-availability architectures and DDoS protection to ensure uninterrupted service for your users.
Build vs. Buy vs. Generic Explorer
Choosing the right block explorer impacts development velocity, operational cost, and user trust. This comparison outlines the trade-offs between building from scratch, using a generic open-source explorer, and partnering with Chainscore for a custom solution.

Our Development Process
We deliver custom blockchain explorers through a structured, four-phase engagement designed for technical leaders. Each phase has clear deliverables, timelines, and communication checkpoints to ensure your project stays on track and meets your exact specifications.
Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a deep technical analysis of your AppChain or Parachain, mapping custom transaction types, validator sets, and governance modules. This phase defines the data schema, indexing strategy, and API architecture for your explorer.
Core Engine Development
Our engineers build the custom indexer and data pipeline to ingest your chain's specific logic. We implement real-time block processing, event parsing, and a normalized database optimized for your explorer's query patterns.
Frontend & API Integration
We develop the responsive web interface and GraphQL/REST API, implementing your custom UI/UX designs. Features like address lookup, transaction decoding, block details, and validator dashboards are built and integrated.
Deployment & Handover
We deploy the complete explorer stack to your infrastructure (cloud or on-prem), perform load testing, and provide comprehensive documentation. The final handover includes source code, operational runbooks, and developer training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for your custom blockchain explorer project.
A standard, production-ready explorer for a Substrate-based chain typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes design, core development, indexer integration, and security hardening. For more complex requirements like multi-chain views or advanced analytics dashboards, timelines extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
