CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- End-to-End Ownership: From initial architecture and
Solidity/Rustdevelopment to deployment, verification, and on-chain monitoring. - Security as Standard: Every contract undergoes formal verification and peer review to mitigate risks like reentrancy and overflow.
- Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption.
- Compliance Ready: Built-in support for standards like
ERC-20,ERC-721, and custom regulatory features.
We deliver audited, mainnet-ready contracts in as little as 2-4 weeks, turning your specification into a live, secure asset.

The Infrastructure Decision for Your Substrate Parachain
Build vs. Buy: Custom Oracle vs. Generic Feeds
A detailed comparison of developing a custom credit oracle in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's managed Polkadot Substrate Oracle service. This table highlights the critical trade-offs in time, cost, security, and operational overhead.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Generic Data Feed | Chainscore Custom Oracle |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 2-4 weeks (integration) | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $150K - $500K+ | $0 - $10K (API fees) | $50K - $150K |
Oracle Logic & Data Model | Fully custom, matches your risk parameters | Fixed, generic price/asset data | Tailored to your specific credit scoring needs |
Security & Audit Burden | High (your team's responsibility) | Medium (depends on provider's security) | Low (includes formal verification & audit) |
Substrate Pallet Integration | Requires custom pallet development | Limited or no native Substrate support | Pre-built, audited pallet with custom adapters |
Data Source Flexibility | Full control over sources and aggregation | Limited to provider's curated list | Customizable mix of on-chain, off-chain, and proprietary sources |
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates | Requires dedicated DevOps/SRE team | Managed by provider (limited control) | Fully managed service with 99.9% SLA |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $800K+ | $15K - $50K | $75K - $200K |
Time to Update Logic | Weeks to months (requires redeploy) | Not possible (fixed logic) | Days (managed update process) |
Best For | Teams with massive scale and unique, static requirements | Simple DeFi apps needing basic price feeds | FinTechs & lending protocols needing secure, adaptable credit data |

Credit Oracle Development FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for building a custom credit oracle on Polkadot Substrate.
A standard credit oracle deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes requirements finalization, core pallet development, off-chain worker integration, and security review. Complex integrations (e.g., multi-chain data feeds, advanced risk models) can extend the timeline to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones.
