Core Protocol Capabilities
We build privacy-preserving payment protocols with production-grade security, regulatory compliance, and sub-second finality. Our modular architecture integrates seamlessly with your existing FinTech stack.
High-Performance Relayer Network
Deploy a decentralized network of relayers for fee abstraction and transaction batching. Our infrastructure guarantees 99.9% uptime with geo-distributed nodes for global low-latency access.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our privacy-preserving payment protocol development delivers measurable advantages, from enhanced security to accelerated market entry. Here's what you can expect.
Reduced Transaction Costs & Latency
Engineered zero-knowledge proof circuits and efficient cryptographic primitives to minimize on-chain verification costs, enabling microtransactions and sub-second finality for payments.
Enhanced User Trust & Adoption
Deploy a payment system where user financial data is cryptographically shielded, building immediate trust and reducing the privacy concerns that typically hinder Web3 payment adoption.
Faster Time-to-Market
Leverage our battle-tested modular components for zk-SNARKs, stealth addresses, and confidential assets to launch a secure, production-ready protocol in weeks, not months.
Future-Proof Interoperability
Designed for seamless integration with major DeFi primitives (DEXs, lending protocols) and cross-chain bridges, ensuring your payment network grows with the ecosystem.
Build vs. Buy: Private Payment Protocol Options
A technical and financial breakdown of developing a privacy-preserving payment protocol in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's battle-tested solution.
| Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Development |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 9-18 months | 6-12 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $300K - $800K+ | $75K - $200K |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (Requires external audits) | Included (Pre-audited core + final audit) |
Core Protocol Features | ZK-SNARKs, stealth addresses, mixer logic | Modular ZK/MPC stack, compliance hooks, relayer network |
Team Requirement | 5-7 senior cryptographers & engineers | Your product team + our dedicated protocol engineers |
Ongoing Maintenance | Full internal team burden (upgrades, vulnerabilities) | Optional SLA with 24/7 monitoring & patches |
Protocol Upgrades & R&D | Your cost & risk to integrate new privacy tech (e.g., ZKPs) | Included in roadmap (e.g., integration of new proving systems) |
Time-to-First-Transaction | Post-development, audit, and testing | Week 1 of engagement (testnet) |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $450K - $1M+ | $120K - $250K |
Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, security-first approach to building and deploying privacy-preserving payment protocols that scale. We deliver production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
1. Protocol Design & Architecture
We architect your payment protocol using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARKs/STARKs) or confidential assets, ensuring regulatory compliance (e.g., FATF Travel Rule) and optimal gas efficiency from day one.
2. Core Smart Contract Development
Implementation of audited, gas-optimized smart contracts in Solidity 0.8+ or Rust. Includes custom logic for shielded transactions, multi-signature vaults, and fee mechanisms.
3. Security Audit & Formal Verification
Rigorous third-party audit by firms like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp, supplemented by our internal review and formal verification for critical state transitions.
4. Testnet Deployment & Simulation
Full deployment on testnets (Sepolia, Holesky) with comprehensive simulation of high-volume payment flows, stress testing, and economic model validation.
5. Mainnet Launch & Monitoring
Managed mainnet deployment on Ethereum, Polygon, or other EVM chains with 24/7 monitoring, alerting for anomalous activity, and real-time dashboards.
6. Integration & Developer Support
Seamless integration with your existing stack (wallets, custodians, exchanges) via comprehensive API documentation, SDKs, and ongoing technical support.
Proven Technology Stack
Our protocol development leverages battle-tested cryptographic primitives and enterprise-grade infrastructure, delivering production-ready systems with audited security and measurable performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear, technical answers on how we build secure, compliant, and scalable private payment systems.
For a core protocol with standard features (private transfers, shielded pools, basic compliance hooks), development and audit typically takes 8-12 weeks. Complex deployments with custom compliance logic, multi-chain support, or novel cryptographic primitives can extend to 16-20 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones after the initial discovery phase.
