EVM Cross-Chain Relayer Development

We build custom, secure, and gas-optimized transaction relayers to bridge assets and data between Ethereum and EVM chains like Polygon, Arbitrum, and BSC.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built for security and speed:

  • Production-ready code using Solidity 0.8+ and Rust with OpenZeppelin standards.
  • Multi-phase security audits including automated analysis, manual review, and formal verification.
  • Gas-optimized execution to minimize user transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full documentation and developer handoff for seamless integration.

Move from concept to a live, audited mainnet contract in as little as 2-4 weeks.

We specialize in:

  • DeFi Protocols: DEXs, lending/borrowing platforms, yield aggregators.
  • NFT Ecosystems: ERC-721A/1155 marketplaces, generative collections with on-chain traits.
  • Utility & Governance: ERC-20 tokens, DAO frameworks, and multi-signature wallets.
  • Cross-Chain Solutions: Layer 2 (Arbitrum, Optimism) and bridge integrations.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Development Process

A structured, security-first approach to delivering production-ready cross-chain relayers that scale. We focus on delivering a reliable, audited solution on schedule.

01

Discovery & Architecture Design

We analyze your specific cross-chain use case (e.g., token bridging, messaging, governance) to design a gas-efficient, secure architecture. This includes selecting optimal protocols (Axelar, Wormhole, LayerZero) and defining key metrics for latency, cost, and finality.

02

Smart Contract Development

Our engineers write, test, and optimize the core relayer logic and associated smart contracts (e.g., bridge vaults, message verifiers) in Solidity/Vyper. We implement battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and adhere to EVM security best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for building a secure, production-ready cross-chain messaging system.

A standard, production-ready EVM cross-chain relayer with core messaging and security features typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. Complex integrations (e.g., custom consensus, multi-sig governance, novel proving schemes) can extend to 8-12 weeks. We follow a phased delivery model with weekly demos, ensuring alignment and allowing for incremental deployment.
