Cross-Chain Bridge for Bitcoin Assets

Design and implementation of secure, trust-minimized bridges to facilitate the movement of Ordinals, Runes, and other Bitcoin-native assets to and from external ecosystems.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process ensures robust logic, gas optimization, and comprehensive audit-readiness from day one.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored Solidity/Rust contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise use cases.
  • Security-First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards and formal verification patterns.
  • Full Lifecycle: From specification and development to testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and scalable contract suite in 2-4 weeks for an MVP, backed by our team's experience deploying over $500M+ in on-chain value.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Delivery Methodology

We deliver production-ready cross-chain infrastructure through a structured, security-first approach that de-risks development and accelerates your time-to-market.

01

Architecture & Protocol Design

We design a custom bridge architecture tailored to your asset type (e.g., wrapped BTC, ordinals) and target chains (EVM, Solana, Cosmos). This includes selecting optimal security models (multi-sig, MPC, light clients) and economic mechanisms.

Smart Contract Development & Auditing

Our engineers develop and deploy secure, gas-optimized smart contracts for minting/burning, custody, and governance. All code undergoes internal review followed by a formal audit from a top-tier security firm before mainnet deployment.
