Compliance-Preserving IBC Layer Development

We build specialized Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) application layers for Cosmos and Polkadot that enforce jurisdictional rules and asset transfer permissions directly within the protocol messaging layer.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
RELIABLE FOUNDATION

Blockchain Node Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade, fully managed node infrastructure for any blockchain protocol.

We provide dedicated, high-availability nodes with 99.9% uptime SLAs, eliminating the operational overhead of self-hosting. Our infrastructure supports EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and other major L1/L2 networks.

  • Multi-Cloud & Geo-Redundant: Deployments across AWS, GCP, and bare metal in multiple regions.
  • Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts: 24/7 health checks, performance dashboards, and instant incident notifications.
  • Enhanced APIs: Access to archival data, trace calls, and specialized RPC endpoints for dApp development.

Focus on building your application. We guarantee the foundational layer is performant, secure, and always online.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE INFRASTRUCTURE

Core Capabilities of Our IBC Application Layer

Our development framework delivers production-ready, compliance-aware IBC applications that accelerate your time-to-market while mitigating regulatory and technical risk.

02

Compliance-By-Design Architecture

Integrate regulatory requirements directly into the protocol layer with features like sanctioned address lists, transaction memo tagging for travel rule, and configurable pause/unpause controls, ensuring your application meets global standards from day one.

04

Relayer Orchestration & Monitoring

We deploy and manage high-availability, fault-tolerant relayers with 24/7 monitoring, automatic failover, and detailed analytics on packet lifecycle, latency, and fees—guaranteeing reliable cross-chain message delivery.

05

Gas Optimization & Fee Abstraction

Engineer efficient IBC packet flows and integrate solutions like Packet Forward Middleware (PFM) and cross-chain fee payment mechanisms to reduce end-user friction and operational costs by up to 40%.

06

Security Audits & Formal Verification

Every module undergoes rigorous security review, including manual audits by Cosmos ecosystem experts and formal verification of critical state machine logic, ensuring resilience against front-running, double-spend, and governance attacks.

PREDICTABLE DELIVERY

Our Development and Integration Process

A structured, milestone-driven approach to building and integrating your IBC layer, ensuring transparency, security, and on-time delivery.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Specification

We conduct a deep technical assessment to design a custom IBC light client and relayer architecture tailored to your chain's consensus and compliance requirements. This includes finalizing protocol specs and security models.

2-3 weeks
Design Phase

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/Rust development 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 like Slither and MythX.

Deliver a battle-tested, auditable codebase that reduces risk and accelerates your product's time-to-market.
