overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your decentralized application.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that form the secure, immutable backbone of your product. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and comprehensive audit readiness to mitigate risk from day one.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-optimized foundation for your token, DeFi protocol, or NFT platform in as little as 2-4 weeks.

  • Token Systems: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts with minting, vesting, and governance modules.
  • DeFi & DEX Logic: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, yield aggregators, and lending protocols.
  • Security First: Every contract undergoes static analysis, unit/integration testing with 95%+ coverage, and is prepared for third-party audit.

Core Routing Optimization Capabilities

Our proprietary algorithms and infrastructure deliver the speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency required for high-volume Lightning Network operations. We focus on measurable outcomes for your business.

01

Multi-Path Payment (MPP) Orchestration

Intelligently splits large payments across multiple channels and paths to maximize success rates and minimize fees. Our system dynamically adjusts splits based on real-time network liquidity.

Client Value: Enables reliable, large-value transactions without requiring massive single-channel capacity.

02

Real-Time Channel Liquidity Intelligence

Continuously monitors global channel states and balances using a proprietary node network. Provides predictive analytics to avoid failed payments before they are attempted.

Client Value: Drastically reduces payment failures and retries, saving time and on-chain fees.

03

Probabilistic & Historical Pathfinding

Combines real-time gossip data with historical payment success/failure data to calculate the most probable successful route. Learns and improves from every transaction.

Client Value: Achieves higher success rates than basic Dijkstra algorithms, especially for cross-continent payments.

Fee Optimization Engine

Dynamically selects routes based on a configurable cost model (speed vs. fee priority). Calculates the true cost, including time-value and failure risk, not just base fees.

Client Value: Directly reduces operational costs for payment processors and exchanges by optimizing for the most economical successful path.

Strict Privacy & Sender/Receiver Anonymity

Implements advanced techniques like route blinding and onion routing to protect metadata. Our nodes operate with strict privacy policies to obscure payment correlation.

Client Value: Meets compliance and user privacy expectations for financial applications, shielding your business from surveillance.

Lightning Routing Optimization FAQs

Get clear answers on how Chainscore Labs implements and manages high-performance Lightning Network routing for your business.

From kickoff to production, a standard Lightning routing optimization deployment takes 2-4 weeks. This includes initial architecture review (1 week), custom node configuration & liquidity strategy (1-2 weeks), and rigorous testing & go-live (1 week). Complex multi-region deployments or custom plugin development may extend this timeline, which we scope and quote upfront.
