overview
CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155with custom minting, vesting, and tax logic. - DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, supply chain tracking, and verifiable credentials.
- Security Guarantee: All code undergoes peer review and testing against known attack vectors before deployment.
We deliver audited, gas-optimized contracts that execute as intended, protecting your assets and your users' trust.
Our team translates your requirements into efficient Solidity or Rust (Solana, Aptos) code, ensuring interoperability across wallets and dApps. We provide full documentation and a deployment package ready for mainnet.

The Infrastructure Trade-Off
Managed Service vs. In-House Execution
A detailed comparison of the costs, risks, and timelines associated with managing a virtual machine migration internally versus partnering with Chainscore's expert team.
| Key Factor | Build & Manage In-House | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Engineering Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $50K - $150K |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (unaudited, custom code) | Low (pre-audited patterns, formal verification) |
Ongoing Maintenance Burden | Full-time DevOps/SRE team | Fully managed with 99.9% SLA |
Protocol Expertise Required | Must hire/retrain for new VM | Included (EVM, SVM, MoveVM specialists) |
Risk of Downtime / Bugs | Your responsibility | Our responsibility with SLAs |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $750K+ | $80K - $200K |
Access to Latest Upgrades | Manual, delayed implementation | Automated, tested rollouts |
