Strategic Infrastructure Decision
Build vs. Buy: Custom Settlement vs. Generic Bridges
A technical and economic comparison between developing a custom cross-chain settlement layer in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's specialized design service versus using a generic third-party bridge.
| Decision Factor | Build In-House | Generic Bridge (e.g., Axelar, Wormhole) | Chainscore Custom Design |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 2-4 weeks (integration) | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $750K+ | $0 (usage fees only) | $50K - $150K |
Architectural Control & Customization | Complete | None (fixed protocol) | Tailored to your use case |
Security Posture & Audit Burden | High (your team's responsibility) | Medium (shared risk, external audits) | High (dedicated audit, formal verification) |
Settlement Finality & Speed | Customizable (<2 sec possible) | Variable (2 min - 20 min) | Optimized for your assets (<2 sec target) |
Ongoing Maintenance & DevOps | Full team required (3+ FTE) | Managed by provider | Optional SLA with 24/7 monitoring |
Protocol & Chain Flexibility | Future-proof, any EVM/L2 | Limited to provider's roadmap | Designed for your target chain roadmap |
Economic Model (Fees/Rebates) | You capture 100% of value | You pay bridge tolls | You define and capture fee logic |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $500K - $1.2M+ | $10K - $100K (usage-based) | $80K - $200K (fixed + optional SLA) |
Best For | Teams with deep protocol expertise and multi-year runway | MVPs, simple asset transfers, low-volume apps | Scale-focused fintechs, DEXs, and institutions requiring performance & control |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from CTOs and technical leads about designing and deploying secure, cross-chain settlement infrastructure.
Our process follows a structured 4-phase approach: 1) Discovery & Architecture (1-2 weeks): We analyze your requirements and design the settlement layer blueprint. 2) Core Development (3-5 weeks): We build the smart contracts, relayers, and messaging layer. 3) Security & Testing (2-3 weeks): Comprehensive audits, including unit, integration, and adversarial testing. 4) Deployment & Handoff (1 week). A typical end-to-end project for a standard EVM+Cosmos setup takes 6-10 weeks. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after the discovery phase.
