overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on industry-leading security practices, including formal verification and third-party audits, to protect your assets and users.

  • Protocols: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom tokenomics.
  • Security: OpenZeppelin libraries, Slither static analysis, and multi-signature deployment.
  • Delivery: Full audit trail, deployment scripts, and comprehensive documentation.

Reduce your time-to-market from months to weeks with our battle-tested development framework and deep expertise in Solidity, Rust, and Vyper.

PROPRIETARY OPTIMIZATION

Our AI-Powered Tuning Methodology

Our systematic approach combines deep protocol expertise with machine learning to deliver provably optimal prover performance, reducing your infrastructure costs and improving user experience.

01

Performance Benchmarking & Baseline

We establish a comprehensive performance baseline by analyzing your current Cairo execution traces, identifying bottlenecks in arithmetic, memory, and storage operations. This data-driven foundation is critical for measuring optimization impact.

02

Constraint System Optimization

Our AI models analyze the R1CS (Rank-1 Constraint System) to identify redundant constraints and optimize polynomial representations. This directly reduces prover workload and computational overhead.

Cairo Prover Tuning: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, technical answers to the most common questions about optimizing your StarkNet prover performance with Chainscore Labs.

A standard engagement for prover optimization and gas cost reduction takes 2-4 weeks from initial audit to final deployment. This includes a 1-week performance audit, 1-2 weeks of targeted optimization (circuit logic, constraint system, Cairo hints), and a final week for integration testing and deployment. Complex protocols with custom Cairo components may extend this timeline, which we scope precisely during the discovery phase.
