LEGAL ENGINEERING
Core Architectural Primitives for Compliance
Our foundational components are designed to integrate legal and regulatory requirements directly into your protocol's architecture, ensuring compliance is a native feature, not an afterthought.
02
Permissioned Node Orchestration
Infrastructure layer for managing validator sets with embedded legal attestations. Ensures only vetted, jurisdictionally compliant nodes participate in consensus and validation duties.
Multi-Sig

Real-time
Attestation
03
Compliance State Machine
Deterministic logic layer that manages user and asset statuses (e.g., whitelisted, suspended). Provides a single source of truth for compliance eligibility across all protocol functions.

COMPLIANCE BY DESIGN
Our Legal-Tech Engineering Process
We engineer restaking protocols where legal compliance is a core architectural component, not a post-audit patch. Our process ensures your protocol is built for global scale and regulatory longevity.
01
Regulatory Blueprint & Jurisdictional Mapping
We begin with a comprehensive analysis of target markets (US, EU, APAC) to map your protocol's functions against securities, commodities, and money transmission laws. This creates a clear legal architecture before a single line of code is written.

Compliant Smart Contract Architecture
We design and implement modular smart contracts with embedded compliance logic (e.g., geofencing, accredited investor checks, KYC/AML hooks) using upgradeable patterns like the Transparent Proxy standard for future adaptability.

Frequently Asked Questions on Compliant Restaking
Get clear answers on how Chainscore Labs builds secure, legally sound restaking protocols for institutional adoption.
From legal framework design to mainnet deployment, a standard compliant restaking protocol takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2-3 weeks for legal architecture and jurisdiction analysis, 3-4 weeks for smart contract development and internal audits, and 1-2 weeks for testnet deployment and final security review. Complex integrations or novel tokenomics can extend this timeline, which we scope during the initial discovery phase.
