PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Engineering Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to building production-ready privacy-preserving DeFi protocols. We deliver auditable, scalable, and maintainable systems.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We begin with a formal threat model, identifying attack vectors specific to zero-knowledge circuits and privacy layers. This ensures security is foundational, not an afterthought.

OWASP
Compliance Framework
02
Circuit Design & Implementation
Expert development of zk-SNARK/STARK circuits using Circom, Halo2, or Noir. We focus on circuit efficiency to minimize prover costs and verification gas on-chain.

Privacy-Preserving DeFi Protocol FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for building private DeFi protocols with Chainscore Labs.
Our process follows a structured 4-phase approach: Discovery & Design (1-2 weeks), Core Development (2-4 weeks), Security Audit & Testing (1-2 weeks), and Deployment & Support (1 week). For a standard privacy-preserving AMM or lending protocol, the total timeline is typically 6-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. We provide weekly demos and maintain a shared backlog for complete transparency.
