State Channel Security Auditing & Dispute Resolution
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your business requirements into immutable, on-chain code.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andERC-4626vaults with tailored minting, burning, and governance logic. - DeFi & DAOs: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, vesting schedules, and multi-signature governance modules.
- Security Protocol: Built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries, followingSolidity 0.8+best practices, and prepared for third-party audits byCertiKorTrail of Bits. - Delivery: Receive fully documented source code, a deployment script, and a verification package for Etherscan in 2-4 weeks.
Our Security Audit & Resolution Framework
A systematic, multi-layered approach to securing your state channel implementation, from pre-deployment code review to live network dispute handling.
Comprehensive Code Audit
Manual and automated review of your state channel smart contracts and off-chain logic against 100+ vulnerability patterns. We deliver a prioritized report with actionable fixes.
Formal Verification
Mathematical proof of critical properties (e.g., safety, liveness, fairness) for your dispute resolution logic using tools like Certora and K-framework.
Economic & Game Theory Analysis
Stress-test your incentive mechanisms and slashing conditions. We model adversarial behavior to ensure rational actors are incentivized to follow the protocol.
Dispute Resolution Engine
Implementation of a verifiable, on-chain adjudication system for state transitions. Includes watcher services and fraud proof generation.
Monitoring & Alerting Suite
Real-time surveillance of channel states and on-chain activity. Get instant alerts for suspicious transactions or liveness failures.
Post-Deployment Support & Upgrades
Ongoing security reviews for protocol upgrades and new features. Includes incident response planning and emergency patch development.
Why a Specialized State Channel Audit is Critical
Generic smart contract audits miss the unique, off-chain complexities of state channels. Our specialized review targets the critical logic that protects your funds and ensures fair dispute resolution.
Off-Chain Logic & State Transition Verification
We rigorously audit the core state machine, ensuring every off-chain state update is valid, non-repudiable, and correctly signed to prevent invalid transitions that could lock funds.
Dispute Resolution & On-Chain Challenge Mechanisms
We test the complete lifecycle of disputes, from challenge initiation to timeout enforcement and final settlement, guaranteeing your protocol can always force a correct on-chain outcome.
Signature & Nonce Management Security
We analyze signature schemes, replay attack vectors, and nonce management to prevent signature forgery and ensure each signed state is unique and authoritative.
Fund Custody & Exit Game Analysis
We verify the security of fund escrow, unilateral exit paths, and cooperative settlement to ensure users can always withdraw their assets, even in adversarial conditions.
Concurrency & Race Condition Testing
We simulate high-load environments with parallel channel operations to identify and eliminate race conditions in fund deposits, state updates, and dispute finalization.
Integration & Adversarial Network Testing
We audit the integration layer between your off-chain client and on-chain contracts, testing under simulated network latency, packet loss, and malicious node behavior.

Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your tokenomics, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems. Our development process is built on security-first principles using Solidity 0.8+, OpenZeppelin libraries, and formal verification techniques to mitigate risks.
- End-to-End Development: From initial design and
ERC-20/721/1155standards to complex DeFi logic and governance systems. - Security & Audits: Rigorous internal review, automated testing with
Hardhat/Foundry, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp. - Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption and protocol sustainability.
We deliver auditable, maintainable code with comprehensive documentation, enabling your team to iterate confidently post-launch.
Build vs. Buy: In-House vs. Chainscore Audit
A detailed comparison of the costs, risks, and time investment required to build and secure state channel infrastructure internally versus partnering with Chainscore Labs.
| Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Audit Service |
|---|---|---|
Time to Security Audit | 3-6 months (recruit, train, execute) | 2-4 weeks (fixed timeline) |
Initial Security Risk | High (untested, unaudited logic) | Low (audited by Web3 security specialists) |
Expertise Required | Senior Solidity, Cryptography, Game Theory | Provided by our team (no hiring needed) |
Audit Coverage | Custom scope (your team defines) | Comprehensive (logic, cryptography, economic incentives) |
Dispute Resolution Module | Build from scratch (high complexity) | Pre-audited, customizable templates |
Ongoing Monitoring & Updates | Your team's responsibility | Optional SLA with 24/7 alerting |
Total First-Year Cost | $250K - $600K+ (salaries, overhead) | $40K - $120K (predictable service fee) |
Guarantee | None (bear all risk internally) | Audit report & re-audit support post-fixes |
State Channel Security & Dispute Resolution FAQ
Answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating security partners for their state channel implementations.
We employ a multi-layered methodology: 1. Specification Review - Formal verification of your off-chain protocol logic against the on-chain adjudicator. 2. Code-Level Analysis - Manual line-by-line review of Solidity/Vyper smart contracts and off-chain client code (JavaScript/Go/Rust) for race conditions and edge cases. 3. Game-Theoretic Simulation - We model attack vectors (e.g., griefing, invalid state submission) using custom tooling to stress-test your dispute resolution logic. This process has secured over $200M+ in locked channel value across 30+ projects.
