Strategic Infrastructure Decision
Build vs. Buy: Custom IBC Layer vs. Generic Bridges
A technical and economic comparison for FinTechs and Web3 enterprises choosing between developing a custom, compliance-ready IBC layer or integrating generic cross-chain bridges.
| Key Factor | Build In-House IBC Stack | Use Generic Bridges | Chainscore Custom IBC Layer |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 4-8 weeks | 6-10 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $750K+ | $10K - $50K | $80K - $200K |
Regulatory Compliance (Travel Rule, AML) | Your responsibility | Not supported | Built-in, configurable |
Protocol-Level Security | High risk (novel code) | Varies (bridge risk) | High (audited, battle-tested patterns) |
Custom Logic & Business Rules | Full control | None | Full control, our implementation |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full team required | Vendor-managed | Optional SLA from $30K/year |
Interoperability Depth | Full IBC protocol features | Basic asset transfers | Full IBC + custom modules |
Team Expertise Required | IBC/CometBFT core devs | API integration | Your product team + our experts |
Typical Use Case | Large enterprise with dedicated blockchain team | MVP or simple cross-chain swaps | Scalable FinTech/Web3 product requiring secure, compliant interoperability |

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana. Our contracts are built with OpenZeppelin standards and undergo rigorous security audits before mainnet deployment.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and
Solidity/Rustdevelopment to testing, deployment, and on-chain monitoring. - Gas Optimization: We write contracts that minimize transaction costs, achieving up to 40% gas savings on complex operations.
- Security-First: Every line is peer-reviewed and tested against common vulnerabilities (
reentrancy,overflow) using tools likeSlitherandMythX.
Deliver a battle-tested, auditable codebase that reduces risk and accelerates your product's time-to-market.
