Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Standard & Custom Tokenomics:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155implementations, plus bespoke logic for staking, vesting, and governance. - DeFi & NFT Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending pools, NFT marketplaces, and launchpad contracts.
- Enterprise Integration: Cross-chain bridges, oracles for real-world data, and modular contracts for complex business logic.
We deliver audit-ready code in 2-4 weeks, with a focus on gas optimization and upgradability patterns like
EIP-2535Diamonds for long-term flexibility.
Core Features of Our Sidechain Explorers
We build custom block explorers that provide the real-time visibility and reliability your sidechain ecosystem demands. Our solutions are engineered for performance, security, and seamless integration.
Real-Time Transaction & Block Tracking
Monitor every transaction, block, and smart contract event on your sidechain with sub-second latency. Our explorers provide instant indexing and search, giving your users and developers unparalleled visibility into network activity.
Multi-Chain Bridge & Asset Tracking
Integrated dashboards for tracking cross-chain asset flows. Monitor deposits, withdrawals, and bridge health between your sidechain and L1s like Ethereum, Polygon, or other connected networks. Essential for DeFi and gaming applications.
Advanced Analytics & Custom Dashboards
Go beyond basic data with custom analytics for TVL, active addresses, gas fee trends, and protocol-specific metrics. We build dashboards tailored to your tokenomics, governance, or DeFi protocol needs.
Enterprise-Grade API Suite
REST and WebSocket APIs designed for high-throughput applications. Fetch blocks, transactions, token balances, and contract events programmatically. Built with rate limiting, caching, and 99.9% uptime SLAs for production workloads.
Enhanced Security & Validator Monitoring
Dedicated views for network health, validator/staker activity, slashing events, and governance proposals. Provides transparency for PoS or PoA sidechains, building trust within your validator community.
White-Label & Branded Deployment
Fully customizable UI/UX that matches your brand identity. We handle hosting, maintenance, and scaling on cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), delivering a turnkey explorer ready for your users in weeks, not months.
Why a Custom Explorer Drives Business Value
A generic block explorer is a commodity. A custom explorer built by Chainscore Labs is a strategic asset that enhances user experience, provides unique insights, and directly contributes to your project's growth and security.
Branded User Experience
We embed your visual identity, terminology, and UX patterns into the explorer, creating a seamless, on-brand journey for your users. This builds trust and reduces cognitive load, increasing user retention and engagement.
Enhanced Data Intelligence
Go beyond basic transactions. We integrate custom analytics dashboards, token-specific metrics (e.g., staking yields, NFT floor prices), and business logic to surface actionable insights for your team and community.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Our explorers are built with security-first principles. We implement role-based access controls (RBAC) for admin panels, audit trails for sensitive actions, and data sanitization to prevent injection attacks, meeting enterprise security standards.
Operational Sovereignty & Uptime
Host and manage your explorer independently. Avoid the risks of third-party service outages or policy changes. We deliver deployment packages with 99.9% uptime SLAs for self-hosted or managed cloud infrastructure.
Monetization & Ecosystem Growth
Turn your explorer into a revenue and growth channel. We enable features like premium API tiers for heavy data consumers, integrated staking interfaces, and direct dApp integrations that drive traffic and lock-in value within your ecosystem.

Our Development Process
We deliver production-ready sidechain explorers through a structured, collaborative process designed for technical founders. Our phased approach ensures predictable timelines, clear deliverables, and seamless integration with your existing stack.
Architecture & Design Sprint
We conduct a 1-week collaborative sprint to define your explorer's data model, indexing strategy, and API architecture. This ensures the final product aligns with your chain's specific transaction types, consensus mechanism, and performance requirements.
Core Indexer & API Development
Our team builds a custom indexer using Rust or Go to ingest and process your chain's data with sub-second latency. We develop a comprehensive GraphQL/REST API with real-time subscription support for blocks, transactions, and custom events.
Frontend & Dashboard Implementation
We develop a responsive, branded frontend using React/Next.js with TypeScript. Features include real-time block updates, advanced transaction search, address profiling, token/NFT viewers, and customizable admin dashboards for analytics.
Security Audit & Penetration Testing
Every component undergoes rigorous security review. Our indexer logic and API endpoints are tested for vulnerabilities. We implement rate limiting, input sanitization, and follow OWASP guidelines to protect against common attack vectors.
Deployment & Infrastructure Setup
We provision and configure cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) with Kubernetes for high availability. The setup includes automated CI/CD pipelines, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, alerting, and a 99.9% uptime SLA for the production environment.
Handover, Docs & Ongoing Support
We provide complete technical documentation, operational runbooks, and source code ownership. Your team receives full training. We offer optional retainer-based support for maintenance, upgrades, and feature additions post-launch.
Sidechain Explorer Development FAQ
Answers to common questions from CTOs and engineering leads evaluating custom sidechain explorer development.
Our standard delivery timeline is 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. We follow a structured 4-phase process: 1) Discovery & Architecture (1 week) to finalize specs and tech stack, 2) Core Development (2-4 weeks) building the indexing engine, API, and frontend, 3) Testing & Security Review (1-2 weeks) including internal audits and staging deployment, and 4) Deployment & Handoff (1 week). For complex explorers with custom consensus tracking or cross-chain features, timelines may extend to 12 weeks.
