We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your application. Our development process is built on security-first principles and proven patterns from OpenZeppelin and Solmate, ensuring your core logic is robust and gas-optimized from day one.
CBDC POS Pilot Program Development
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
From token standards to complex DeFi logic, we deliver contracts that are secure, auditable, and ready for mainnet.
- Custom Logic:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke protocols for DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. - Security Focus: Comprehensive unit/integration testing, formal verification, and pre-audit code reviews.
- Gas Optimization: Expert-level Solidity/Vyper development to minimize transaction costs for your users.
- Full Lifecycle: Development, deployment, verification, and upgrade management via Transparent Proxies or Diamonds (EIP-2535).
Core Capabilities for a Successful Pilot
We deliver the foundational technical components required to launch a secure, scalable, and compliant CBDC pilot program, accelerating your time-to-market and de-risking your go-to-market strategy.
High-Throughput POS Simulation
Load-tested point-of-sale terminal emulators and backend APIs capable of simulating 10,000+ TPS to validate network performance under peak retail conditions. Includes configurable failure modes and latency injection.
Programmable Ledger & Smart Contract Layer
Deployable ledger infrastructure with support for privacy-preserving transactions (ZK-proofs, confidential assets) and programmable monetary policy logic via audited smart contracts (Solidity, Rust).
Real-Time Analytics & Dashboarding
Comprehensive monitoring suite tracking pilot KPIs: transaction volume, settlement finality, user adoption, and system health. Provides actionable insights for central bank stakeholders and technical teams.
Security & Penetration Testing
End-to-end security assessment covering the entire pilot stack: smart contracts, APIs, network nodes, and hardware endpoints. Includes a final report aligned with central bank security requirements.
Why Partner with Chainscore for Your CBDC Pilot
We deliver production-ready CBDC infrastructure, not just prototypes. Our team has built and secured financial systems for central banks and regulated institutions, ensuring your pilot meets the highest standards of security, compliance, and performance.
Regulatory & Security-First Architecture
Built-in compliance with AML/CFT frameworks, privacy-preserving transaction layers, and multi-party computation (MPC) for key management. Every component undergoes formal verification and third-party audits by firms like Trail of Bits.
Hybrid & Interoperable Ledger Design
Deploy on permissioned blockchains (Hyperledger Besu, Corda) or hybrid models with public chain settlement. Our architecture ensures seamless interoperability with existing RTGS, payment switches, and digital identity systems.
Full-Stack POS & Merchant Integration
End-to-end solution from core ledger to merchant APIs and consumer wallets. We provide SDKs for POS terminals, QR-based payments, offline transaction capability, and real-time settlement dashboards for merchants.
Rapid Pilot Deployment & Scalability
Go from concept to live pilot in 8-12 weeks using our modular CBDC framework. The system is load-tested to handle 10,000+ TPS, ensuring it can scale from a limited pilot to a national rollout.

Our Methodology: Secure, Compliant, Iterative
Our structured approach to CBDC pilot development prioritizes regulatory compliance and operational security from day one, ensuring your project is built to scale and succeed in production.
Regulatory-First Architecture
We design with central bank requirements embedded into the protocol layer, implementing programmable monetary policy, transaction limits, and KYC/AML controls directly into the smart contract logic.
Security by Design
Every component undergoes threat modeling and formal verification. We use audited, open-source frameworks and conduct penetration testing before any pilot deployment.
Rapid Prototyping
Deploy a functional pilot environment in weeks, not months. We use modular CBDC smart contract templates for core functions like issuance, distribution, and POS settlement.
Real-World Integration
Seamlessly connect the CBDC ledger to existing POS terminals, banking cores, and payment switches via robust, standardized APIs for immediate merchant adoption.
Frequently Asked Questions on CBDC POS Pilots
Get clear answers on timelines, security, costs, and technical requirements for launching a successful Central Bank Digital Currency point-of-sale pilot.
A full-scale CBDC POS pilot deployment typically takes 8-12 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for requirements and architecture design, 3-4 weeks for core development and smart contract auditing, 2 weeks for merchant and user app integration, and 2-3 weeks for controlled pilot testing and go-live. We provide a detailed Gantt chart at project kickoff.
