Bitcoin-to-Cosmos IBC Bridge Implementation

Design and build a canonical, IBC-standard bridge to bring native Bitcoin liquidity to the Cosmos ecosystem. We deliver secure, audited infrastructure in 8-12 weeks.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
RELIABLE FOUNDATION

Blockchain Node Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade node infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA for your core Web3 operations.

We manage the foundational layer so your team can focus on building. Chainscore provides fully managed, multi-cloud node clusters for Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and other major L1/L2 networks.

Our infrastructure eliminates the operational burden of self-hosting:

  • 99.9% Uptime SLA with geo-redundant failover.
  • Sub-second RPC response times for high-frequency applications.
  • Secure, dedicated endpoints with enterprise-grade DDoS protection.
  • Real-time monitoring & alerts via Grafana dashboards.
  • Automatic upgrades for hard forks and protocol changes.

Deploy in hours, not weeks. We provide dedicated support for eth_sendRawTransaction, archival data access, and WebSocket subscriptions. Scale from a single node to a global cluster without re-architecting your stack.

ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING

Core Technical Capabilities

Our implementation delivers a production-ready, secure, and scalable bridge, built on proven IBC standards and battle-tested Bitcoin protocols to ensure asset safety and operational reliability.

03

Multi-Sig Vault & Custody

Secure, non-custodial Bitcoin vault managed by a decentralized multi-signature committee of Cosmos validators. Supports threshold signatures (t-of-n) for enhanced security and governance over locked assets.

Cross-Chain Asset Wrapping

Mint canonical wrapped Bitcoin (e.g., wBTC.axl) on Cosmos chains, backed 1:1 by Bitcoin in the vault. Our contracts support seamless mint/burn cycles with full audit trails and on-chain proof of reserves.

Security Audits & Monitoring

All bridge components—smart contracts, light client, and relayer logic—undergo rigorous audits by third-party firms. We implement 24/7 monitoring, alerting, and a bug bounty program for ongoing security.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by certified auditors to power your Web3 application.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise applications. Our team of certified security auditors ensures your code is resilient against exploits before mainnet deployment.

  • Security-First Development: Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, following industry best practices.
  • Full Audit Trail: Includes comprehensive unit/integration testing and a formal audit report from our in-house experts.
  • Gas Optimization: Code is meticulously optimized to reduce transaction costs by up to 40% for your users.
  • Deployment & Verification: We handle deployment on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) with full source code verification.

From initial design to final mainnet launch, we deliver contracts you can trust to handle real value and scale.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE ARCHITECTURE

Technology & Protocol Stack

Our Bitcoin-to-Cosmos IBC bridge is built on a battle-tested, modular stack designed for security, interoperability, and operational excellence. We deliver a production-ready solution, not a proof-of-concept.

01

Bitcoin Light Client & SPV Verification

Secure, trust-minimized verification of Bitcoin transactions on Cosmos. We implement a custom light client with fraud proofs, eliminating reliance on third-party oracles for asset transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on implementation timelines, security, costs, and ongoing support for your Bitcoin-to-Cosmos IBC bridge project.

A standard, production-ready Bitcoin-to-Cosmos IBC bridge deployment takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes architecture design, smart contract development, IBC relayer setup, security audits, and integration testing. For proof-of-concepts or simpler integrations, delivery can be as fast as 2-3 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial technical scoping session.
