Institutional Collateral Custody Development | Chainscore Labs

overview

SECURE & AUDITED

Smart Contract Development

Production-ready smart contracts built with enterprise-grade security and gas optimization.

We architect and deploy secure, auditable smart contracts that form the core of your Web3 application. Our development process ensures robust logic, minimized attack surfaces, and predictable gas costs from day one.

Security-First Development: Built on Solidity 0.8+ using established patterns from OpenZeppelin and comprehensive unit/integration testing.
Gas Optimization: Expert-level code to reduce deployment and transaction fees, critical for user adoption.
Full Audit Support: Code is developed with leading audit firms in mind, facilitating smooth third-party security reviews.

We deliver battle-tested contracts for tokens (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), DeFi protocols, DAOs, and custom business logic, typically within a 2-4 week sprint for an MVP.

Technical & Commercial Details

Institutional Custody Development FAQs

Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating institutional-grade custody solutions.

We follow a structured 4-phase approach: Discovery & Architecture (1 week), Core Development & Integration (2-3 weeks), Security Audit & Pen Testing (1 week), and Deployment & Go-Live (1 week). For a standard multi-signature vault with MPC key management, full deployment typically takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to production. Complex integrations (e.g., cross-chain staking, DeFi yield strategies) may extend to 8-10 weeks.
