Core Capabilities of Our Custom Identity Pallets
We architect Substrate-based identity pallets that deliver specific business logic, not just generic frameworks. Each capability is designed to solve a tangible problem for your application.
01
Custom On-Chain Registries
Deploy tailored identity registries for users, organizations, or assets with custom fields, verification tiers, and lifecycle management. Replace fragmented databases with a single source of truth.

Custom Schema
Flexibility
02
Multi-Signature & DAO Governance
Integrate governance directly into identity management. Enable multi-sig controls for registry updates, role-based permissioning, and DAO-voted attestations to decentralize authority.

03
Cross-Chain Identity Bridging
Build verifiable credential systems that work across parachains and external networks (EVM, Cosmos). Our pallets use XCM and light clients for trust-minimized identity portability.

ZK-Proof Attestations
Implement zero-knowledge proof systems for private credential verification. Users can prove eligibility (e.g., KYC status, membership) without revealing underlying data, enhancing privacy.

BEYOND THE STANDARD FRAME
Why a Custom Identity Pallet is a Strategic Advantage
The default Substrate Identity pallet is a starting point. A custom implementation, designed for your specific use case, unlocks performance, compliance, and user experience that generic solutions cannot match.
01
Regulatory & Jurisdictional Compliance
We build identity logic that enforces KYC/AML rules, residency checks, and accreditation status directly on-chain. This automates compliance for DeFi, RWA tokenization, and institutional products, reducing legal overhead and enabling global expansion.

02
Enhanced User Experience & Privacy
Implement privacy-preserving features like selective disclosure, zero-knowledge proofs for credential verification, and seamless cross-parachain identity portability. This removes friction for users while maintaining necessary verification.

Optimized Performance & Lower Costs
We strip out unnecessary logic and optimize storage for your specific data model (DIDs, verifiable credentials, reputational scores). This results in faster transaction finality and significantly lower storage deposits for your users.

Sovereign Reputation & Governance
Create a custom, sybil-resistant reputation system for DAOs, credit scoring, or governance weight. Link on-chain activity (transactions, contributions) to a verified identity to build trust and enable sophisticated, fair governance models.

Custom Pallet vs. Generic Module: A Compliance Perspective
Choosing the right identity layer for your Substrate-based parachain involves critical trade-offs in compliance, flexibility, and cost. This table compares the key factors between building a custom identity pallet from scratch and leveraging Chainscore's pre-audited, modular solution.
| Compliance & Development Factor | Build Custom Pallet In-House | Chainscore Identity Module |
|---|---|---|
Regulatory Compliance (KYC/AML) Readiness | ||
Time to Production-Ready Identity Layer | 4-6 months | 2-4 weeks |
Initial Security Audit & Penetration Testing | Required (8-12 weeks) | Included (Pre-Audited) |
Ongoing Compliance Rule Updates | Your responsibility | Managed Service |
Integration with External Verifiers (e.g., Fractal, Onfido) | Custom development required | Pre-built connectors |
Cross-Chain Identity Portability (XCM) | Complex custom logic | Built-in XCM support |
Annual Maintenance & Update Cost (Year 1) | $120K - $300K+ | $45K - $90K (SLA included) |
Team Requirement | 2-3 Senior Rust/Substrate Devs | Your existing team + our specialists |
Risk of Non-Compliance & Regulatory Fines | High | Mitigated (Indemnification) |
Support for Upcoming Gov't Standards (e.g., eIDAS 2.0, MiCA) | Future rework needed | Roadmap-aligned updates |

Substrate Identity Pallet Development: Key Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for building a custom Substrate Identity Pallet with Chainscore Labs.
A standard Substrate Identity Pallet with core features (registration, verification, basic attestations) takes 2-4 weeks from spec to production-ready code. Complex implementations with advanced features like social recovery, multi-sig management, or cross-chain verification typically require 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint-by-sprint breakdown in our initial proposal.
