Compliance-First Custody System Design

We architect and implement secure, institutional-grade custody systems for tokenized securities and regulated assets, with embedded regulatory controls and immutable audit trails.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production at scale.

We architect and deploy mission-critical Solidity and Rust contracts with enterprise-grade security and audit-ready code. Our process delivers production-ready systems, not just prototypes.

  • Custom Logic: From ERC-20/721/1155 tokens to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance.
  • Security First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards, with formal verification and pre-audit reviews.
  • Gas Optimization: Every contract is profiled and optimized to reduce user transaction costs by 15-40%.
  • Full Lifecycle: Development, testing (Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and upgrade management via Transparent Proxies.

Deploy a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2 weeks. We build the immutable foundation your application depends on.

BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE

Core Architectural Components

Our custody system is engineered from the ground up with institutional-grade security, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. Each component is designed to meet the stringent requirements of financial institutions and high-growth Web3 startups.

01

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Vaults

Eliminate single points of failure with distributed key management. Our MPC architecture ensures no single party can access funds, providing cryptographic security that exceeds traditional multi-sig wallets.

NIST FIPS 140-2
Compliant
0
Single Points of Failure
02

Policy Engine & Transaction Signing

Enforce granular, role-based access controls and compliance rules. Define approval workflows, transaction limits, and whitelists programmatically before any signature is generated.

04

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action—from policy change to fund movement—is cryptographically logged on-chain and in tamper-proof off-chain storage. Provides a single source of truth for internal and regulatory audits.

Business Outcomes for Regulated Markets

Our compliance-first custody system design delivers measurable business value, enabling you to operate with confidence, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate time-to-market in regulated environments.

01

Accelerated Regulatory Approval

Pre-built compliance modules for AML/KYC, transaction monitoring, and reporting reduce your regulatory review cycle by up to 70%. We provide audit-ready documentation for FINRA, SEC, and global financial authorities.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Delivery Methodology

A structured, phased approach to designing and deploying secure, compliant custody systems that meet regulatory requirements and scale with your business.

01

Discovery & Compliance Mapping

We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your target jurisdictions and user base to map regulatory requirements (FATF Travel Rule, MiCA, NYDFS BitLicense) directly to technical specifications.

02

Architecture & Threat Modeling

Design a multi-layered security architecture with clear separation of duties (HSM, MPC, TEE), followed by formal threat modeling to identify and mitigate attack vectors before development begins.

Custom Blockchain Development

End-to-end development of custom blockchains, sidechains, and L2 solutions tailored to your specific business logic.

We architect and build purpose-built blockchain networks that solve your exact business problems, not generic ones. Our team delivers production-ready mainnets with custom consensus, governance, and tokenomics designed for your use case.

  • Custom L1/L2 Development: Build on Substrate, Cosmos SDK, or rollup frameworks (OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit) with full control over throughput and fees.
  • Bespoke Smart Contract Ecosystems: Deploy interconnected Solidity, Rust, or Move contracts with formal verification and comprehensive audit trails.
  • Enterprise Integration: Seamless APIs and custom indexers to connect your blockchain with existing enterprise systems and data pipelines.

From initial design to mainnet launch and beyond, we provide the technical leadership to turn your blockchain vision into a live, scalable network.
