Travel Rule (FATF) Implementation for Protocols

End-to-end engineering and integration of compliant Travel Rule solutions for VASPs and DeFi protocols. We build secure systems for sharing originator and beneficiary data across jurisdictions.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for your specific business logic.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity or Rust smart contracts that form the backbone of your application. Our development process includes formal verification and comprehensive unit testing to ensure security and reliability from day one.

  • Gas-optimized code for predictable transaction costs.
  • Modular design using battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin.
  • Upgradeability patterns for future-proofing without compromising security.
  • Full audit readiness, with code structured for third-party review.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and maintainable smart contract system in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.

Travel Rule Implementation: Technical & Compliance FAQs

Clear answers to the most common technical and operational questions about implementing the FATF Travel Rule for your blockchain protocol or VASP.

A standard implementation for a single protocol or VASP takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production. This includes integration design, smart contract development, testing, and deployment. Complex multi-chain or multi-VASP integrations can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the initial scoping call.
