Cosmos SDK Compliance Module Development

We build custom, IBC-enabled reputation and compliance modules for sovereign Cosmos app-chains. Implement and share standardized compliance data across the Interchain to meet regulatory requirements.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We deliver audit-ready smart contracts for ERC-20, ERC-721, and custom protocols. Our code is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit testing.

  • Security-First Development: Formal verification, gas optimization, and integration with leading audit firms.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: From architecture and development to deployment and mainnet monitoring.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Reduce development cycles by 40% and achieve 99.9% uptime post-launch.

BUILDING BLOCKS FOR COMPLIANCE

Core Module Capabilities

Our development process delivers production-ready, audited Cosmos SDK modules that integrate seamlessly into your blockchain. We focus on security, interoperability, and regulatory alignment from day one.

01

Custom Rule Engine Development

We build flexible, on-chain rule engines for transaction validation, KYC/AML checks, and sanctions screening. Supports dynamic rule updates via governance proposals without hard forks.

Our Development & Integration Process

A proven, security-first methodology for delivering production-ready Cosmos SDK modules that integrate seamlessly into your existing blockchain infrastructure.

01

Architecture & Specification

We begin with a deep technical analysis of your compliance logic, mapping it to Cosmos SDK's ABCI, Keeper, and MsgServer patterns. This phase delivers a comprehensive spec, including state machine diagrams and integration points, ensuring alignment with your chain's governance and upgrade paths.
