We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing audited libraries like OpenZeppelin and formal verification to mitigate risk.
Secure Key Generation Ceremony Services
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a battle-tested, gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, from initial spec to mainnet deployment.
- Protocol Development: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke token standards. - DeFi & DAOs: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, governance modules, and multi-sig wallets.
- Security & Audits: Full test coverage, third-party audit coordination, and post-deployment monitoring.
Our Ceremony Orchestration Capabilities
We manage the entire secure key generation lifecycle—from protocol design to final attestation—so your team can focus on core product development with zero infrastructure overhead.
Ceremony Execution & Real-Time Monitoring
Our team orchestrates the live ceremony using proprietary coordination software, providing participants with secure tooling and 24/7 support. We monitor for anomalies and ensure protocol adherence throughout.
Final Attestation & Trusted Setup Artifacts
Upon successful completion, we deliver the final public parameters (CRS/SRS), a comprehensive audit trail, and signed attestations from all participants. This package is your verifiable proof of a secure setup.
Business Outcomes: Trust, Compliance, and Risk Reduction
Our secure key generation ceremonies are engineered to deliver concrete business value, transforming a critical security process into a strategic asset for your organization.
Regulatory & Institutional Trust
Generate cryptographic keys that meet the stringent requirements of financial regulators (SEC, FINRA, MiCA) and institutional partners. Our documented, auditable ceremony process provides the proof-of-custody and procedural integrity required for compliance.
Eliminate Single Points of Failure
Replace vulnerable, single-party key generation with a distributed, multi-party computation (MPC) ceremony. No single entity ever has access to the complete private key, fundamentally eliminating the risk of internal collusion or external compromise of a single secret.
Proven Cryptographic Security
Leverage battle-tested, open-source libraries and hardware security modules (HSMs) from certified providers. Our ceremonies are designed by cryptographers and follow NIST SP 800-57 and FIPS 140-2 standards for key management lifecycle.
Operational Risk Reduction
Turn a high-stakes, manual process into a repeatable, automated service. We handle the complexity of participant coordination, secure environment setup, and post-ceremony key distribution, reducing human error and freeing your team to focus on core product development.
Managed Ceremony Service vs. In-House Execution
Compare the total cost, risk, and operational burden of establishing a secure key generation ceremony for your protocol.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
Time to Design & Implement | 4-6 months | 2-4 weeks |
Initial Security Audit Cost | $50K - $150K | Included |
Cryptographic Expertise Required | Senior Staff (2-3 FTE) | Provided by our team |
Ceremony Tooling & Infrastructure | Custom build & maintenance | Pre-audited, battle-tested platform |
Participant Onboarding & Verification | Manual process, high overhead | Automated KYC/AML & identity proofing |
Ceremony Execution & Monitoring | High coordination risk | Fully managed with 24/7 oversight |
Post-Ceremony Attestation Report | Self-published, limited trust | Notarized, multi-sig attestation from independent auditors |
Ongoing Key Management Liability | Your company bears full risk | Risk transferred via service SLA & insurance |
Total First-Year Cost | $300K - $750K+ | $80K - $200K |
Recommended For | Large enterprises with dedicated security teams | FinTechs, Web3 startups, and scaling protocols |
Our Four-Phase Ceremony Delivery Process
A structured, auditable methodology for generating and distributing cryptographic keys with zero-trust principles. We ensure verifiable security from initial design to final handover.
Phase 1: Architecture & Threat Modeling
We define the ceremony's security parameters, participant roles, and threat model. Deliverables include a formal specification document and a multi-party computation (MPC) or threshold signature scheme (TSS) architecture tailored to your protocol's needs.
Phase 2: Secure Environment Setup
We provision and harden isolated, air-gapped environments for each ceremony participant. This includes provisioning secure hardware (HSMs/YubiKeys), establishing authenticated communication channels, and creating verifiable software builds.
Phase 3: Ceremony Execution & Audit Trail
Our team orchestrates the live ceremony, ensuring each step follows the protocol. We generate a cryptographically signed, immutable audit log of all operations, providing proof of correct execution and participant integrity.
Phase 4: Verification & Key Handover
We deliver the final public verification materials and securely distribute the generated private key shares. The process concludes with a verification report, allowing any third party to cryptographically confirm the ceremony's correctness.

Secure Key Generation Ceremony FAQs
Technical and procedural questions we receive from teams evaluating our MPC/TSS key ceremony services for high-value Web3 applications.
Our standard ceremony, including pre-ceremony planning, environment hardening, execution, and post-ceremony attestation, is completed in 5-7 business days. Complex multi-party or cross-jurisdictional setups may extend to 2 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones before engagement.
