We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that are secure by design. Our process starts with a security-first architecture review, followed by development in Solidity 0.8+ or Rust, and concludes with a comprehensive audit against the latest attack vectors.

Build vs. Buy: Migrating Your Staking Pool
A detailed comparison of the total cost, risk, and time commitment of developing a custom staking pool versus partnering with Chainscore for a managed migration.
| Critical Factor | Build In-House | Partner with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Market (Live Pool) | 6-12+ months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K |
Smart Contract Security | High Risk (Requires external audit) | Low Risk (Pre-audited, battle-tested code) |
Protocol Expertise Required | Deep, ongoing research needed | Included (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, etc.) |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full internal team burden | Managed service with optional SLA |
Validator Node Operations | Complex setup & 24/7 monitoring | Fully managed, multi-cloud infrastructure |
Compliance & Reporting Tools | Custom build required | Built-in dashboards & APIs |
Total 3-Year Cost of Ownership | $750K - $1.5M+ | $150K - $400K (predictable) |

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from token standards to complex DeFi logic.
We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that power your application's core business logic. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and comprehensive test coverage before any code touches the mainnet.
- Custom Tokenomics & Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke implementations with minting, vesting, and governance modules. - DeFi & dApp Logic: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and multi-signature wallets.
- Integration Ready: Contracts are built with clear interfaces for seamless frontend and backend integration.
Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and is prepared for third-party audits by firms like OpenZeppelin or ConsenSys Diligence. We deliver battle-tested code, not just prototypes.

Institutional Staking Migration FAQ
Common questions from CTOs and operations leads about migrating institutional staking pools to a custom, secure, and compliant infrastructure.
A complete migration from an existing provider to a new, custom-built staking pool typically takes 4-6 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture and smart contract development, 1-2 weeks for security audits and testing, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration with your existing systems. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial consultation.
