Multi-Cloud Orchestration
Automated deployment across AWS, GCP, and bare-metal providers for optimal cost, latency, and redundancy. Achieve sub-second proof generation with 99.9% uptime SLA.
Prover Performance Optimization
Deep circuit-level optimization for your specific ZK-SNARK/STARK, reducing constraint count and memory footprint to minimize hardware runtime and cost.
End-to-End Security Hardening
Infrastructure secured with hardware security modules (HSMs), zero-trust networking, and regular audits. Protects your proving keys and sensitive data.
Business Outcomes of Accelerated ZK Proofs
Hardware acceleration for ZK proofs delivers more than just speed. It unlocks new business models, reduces operational costs, and creates defensible technical advantages. Here’s what our clients achieve.
Reduced Operational Costs
Drastically lower the compute cost of proof generation, turning a major expense into a competitive advantage. Achieve predictable, scalable infrastructure costs for high-volume applications.
Faster Time-to-Market
Deploy production-ready, hardware-accelerated ZK circuits in weeks, not quarters. Our battle-tested frameworks and libraries eliminate months of R&D and integration work.
Enhanced User Experience
Enable near-instant transaction finality and sub-second proof generation for applications like private payments, gaming, and identity. Remove UX friction caused by proof latency.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Audit
Build on formally verified circuit designs and undergo rigorous third-party audits (e.g., Trail of Bits, Quantstamp). We ensure your ZK stack is secure by design from day one.
Scalability for Mass Adoption
Horizontally scale proof generation to handle millions of daily transactions. Our architecture is designed for the throughput demands of mainstream consumer applications.
Technical Differentiation
Leverage custom accelerators (FPGA/ASIC) and advanced proving systems (Plonk, STARKs) to build features competitors cannot easily replicate, creating a lasting moat.
Hardware Acceleration Paths: A Strategic Comparison
Choosing the right hardware acceleration path is critical for ZK proof performance and project economics. This table compares the strategic trade-offs between building in-house, using generic cloud services, and partnering with Chainscore Labs for a purpose-built solution.

Every circuit and integration undergoes rigorous internal review and can be prepared for external audits by firms like Trail of Bits or Quantstamp. We ensure cryptographic soundness and protocol compliance.
Integration & SDK Delivery
We deliver a production-ready SDK or API, complete with documentation, that seamlessly integrates with your existing blockchain stack (EVM, Solana, Cosmos, etc.) for on-chain verification.
Performance Benchmarking & Support
We provide detailed performance benchmarks against your initial requirements and offer ongoing support for scaling, maintenance, and optimization as your application grows.
Hardware-Accelerated ZK Proofs: Key Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for implementing hardware-accelerated zero-knowledge proofs in your protocol.
From initial design to production-ready deployment, a typical project takes 6-12 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture and hardware selection, 3-5 weeks for circuit optimization and proof system integration, and 2-3 weeks for on-chain verifier deployment and stress testing. For complex, custom circuits (e.g., a new privacy-preserving DEX), timelines extend to 14-16 weeks.
