Smart Contract Upgrade and Maintenance Package

A proactive service for securing, patching, and optimizing your live corporate expense management smart contracts. Mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and extend contract lifespan.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect, develop, and audit custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the immutable backbone of your protocol. Our focus is on security-first development, leveraging battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits to mitigate risks before deployment.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Our development lifecycle includes:

  • Architecture & Design: Tokenomics modeling, contract structure, and upgradeability planning.
  • Implementation: Writing, testing, and gas optimization for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom logic.
  • Security Hardening: Multi-stage review, automated analysis, and formal verification preparation.

We ensure your contracts are deploy-ready and maintainable. Services include:

  • Comprehensive Documentation: Technical specs and user guides.
  • Deployment Scripts: Automated scripts for testnet and mainnet launches.
  • Post-Launch Support: Monitoring, incident response, and upgrade management.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built for production by expert Solidity engineers.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts on EVM chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits to mitigate risk before deployment.

Deliver a secure, gas-optimized, and upgradeable contract suite in 4-6 weeks, not months.

  • Custom Logic: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, DeFi protocols (DEX, staking, lending), and bespoke business logic.
  • Security & Audits: Formal verification, unit/integration testing, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification on Etherscan, and post-launch monitoring.
