Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and tailored to your specific business logic. Our development process ensures your protocol is built on a robust foundation from day one.

  • Security-First Development: Code audited against common vulnerabilities using industry-standard tools and patterns from OpenZeppelin.
  • Gas Optimization: Every line is written for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 30%.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Seamless connection to your front-end and backend via ethers.js/web3.js and custom APIs.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Unit, integration, and forked mainnet testing to ensure reliability before launch.

From initial concept to mainnet deployment, we handle the entire lifecycle, delivering a battle-tested contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Bridge Security Audit Methodology

Our systematic, multi-layered audit process is designed to identify and eliminate critical vulnerabilities before they reach production, ensuring your cross-chain bridge meets the highest security standards.

01

Architectural & Economic Review

We analyze the bridge's core design, consensus mechanisms, and economic incentives for centralization risks, liveness failures, and incentive misalignment. This includes evaluating the security of the underlying rollup's data availability and proving systems.

02

Smart Contract Deep Dive

Manual and automated review of all bridge contracts (deposit, withdrawal, verification, governance) for logic errors, reentrancy, and access control flaws. We test against the latest attack vectors specific to ZK and Optimistic rollup bridges.

03

Cryptographic Verification

Rigorous assessment of all cryptographic primitives, including ZK-SNARK/STARK circuits, signature schemes, and hash functions. We verify proof correctness, soundness assumptions, and implementation against side-channel attacks.

04

Integration & Upgrade Path Analysis

We audit the integration with external dependencies (oracles, relayers, sequencers) and evaluate the security of upgrade mechanisms and admin key management to prevent governance attacks and ensure smooth, safe evolution.

Why a Specialized Bridge Audit is Non-Negotiable

Standard smart contract audits miss the unique attack vectors of cross-chain bridges. Our specialized assessments target the critical logic that secures billions in TVL.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your application. Our process includes formal verification and comprehensive audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build on ERC-20, ERC-721, or bespoke standards for DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs.
  • Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient code patterns.
  • Security First: Adhere to OpenZeppelin standards and undergo third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Full Lifecycle: From initial spec to deployment and post-launch monitoring on Ethereum, Polygon, or Solana.

Deploy with confidence. We guarantee zero critical vulnerabilities in production and provide a 99.9% uptime SLA for contract availability.

Why Specialized Bridge Security Matters

Chainscore vs. Generic Smart Contract Audits

Generic audits often miss the complex, cross-chain attack vectors specific to rollup bridges. Our service is engineered for the unique security demands of ZK and Optimistic Rollup infrastructure.

Technical & Process Details

Bridge Security Audit FAQs

Get clear answers on our methodology, timeline, and deliverables for ZK and Optimistic Rollup bridge security audits. We audit the code that secures billions in cross-chain value.

Our methodology is a multi-layered, manual-first process. For ZK Rollup bridges, we focus on the cryptographic soundness of the proof system (e.g., Plonk, Groth16), the correctness of the state transition logic, and the trust assumptions of the prover/verifier setup. For Optimistic Rollup bridges, we conduct deep analysis of the fraud proof mechanism, challenge period logic, and sequencer/validator incentive alignment. Every audit includes: 1) Architecture Review, 2) Manual Line-by-Line Code Review, 3) Static & Dynamic Analysis using Slither and Foundry, 4) Economic & Game Theory Modeling, and 5) Final Report with P1-P4 Severity Findings.
