We architect and deploy custom Layer 1/Layer 2 networks and enterprise-grade smart contracts tailored to your specific business logic. Our full-cycle development delivers production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
DAO Compensation Model Simulation
Custom Blockchain Development
End-to-end blockchain solutions from core protocol design to production-ready applications.
- Protocol Design: Custom consensus (
PoS,PoA), tokenomics, and governance models. - Smart Contract Suite: Audited
Solidity/Rustcontracts forERC-20,ERC-721, and bespoke standards. - Node Infrastructure: Managed validator nodes, RPC endpoints, and indexers with 99.9% uptime SLA.
- Integration: Seamless APIs and SDKs to connect your blockchain with existing enterprise systems.
From a 2-week MVP to a mainnet launch, we provide the technical leadership and battle-tested code to build with confidence.
Our Simulation Capabilities
Our simulation engine models real-world DAO dynamics to provide data-driven compensation insights, reducing governance risk and optimizing treasury allocation.
Outcomes for Your DAO
Our simulation platform provides the quantitative insights your leadership needs to design, test, and implement a compensation model that aligns incentives and drives sustainable growth.
Optimized Treasury Allocation
Model different token vesting schedules and cash flow scenarios to find the optimal balance between rewarding contributors and preserving runway. Avoid liquidity crunches and ensure long-term financial health.
Reduced Contributor Churn
Identify and rectify compensation pain points before launch. Our models predict retention rates under different reward structures, helping you build a loyal, high-performing core team.
Enhanced Governance Participation
Simulate how reward mechanisms (like vote-escrowed tokens) impact voter turnout and proposal quality. Design a system that incentivizes informed, long-term participation over apathy.
Competitive Talent Acquisition
Benchmark your proposed packages against market data for similar DAOs and Web3 roles. Attract top-tier developers and operators with compelling, transparent compensation.
Audit-Ready Model Documentation
Receive a comprehensive report detailing all assumptions, simulations, and outcomes. This artifact builds internal consensus and provides clear rationale for your community proposal.
Faster Community Approval
Present clear, data-backed proposals that build trust and reduce governance friction. Our visualizations and clear narratives help secure stakeholder buy-in efficiently.
Build vs. Buy: DAO Compensation Simulation
A detailed comparison of the resource investment and risk profile between developing a custom simulation framework in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's managed service.

Time to Value & Go-Live | 6+ months | < 30 days |
Our Engagement Process
A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a production-ready DAO compensation model, from initial design to on-chain deployment and ongoing support.
Strategy & Discovery
We conduct a deep-dive workshop to analyze your tokenomics, governance structure, and treasury goals. We deliver a detailed Compensation Blueprint outlining vesting schedules, reward mechanisms, and legal compliance considerations.
Model Design & Simulation
Our team builds a dynamic simulation environment using your real data. We model scenarios like token unlocks, contributor churn, and market volatility to stress-test the model's long-term sustainability before a single line of code is written.
Smart Contract Development
We engineer secure, gas-optimized smart contracts for your custom vesting, staking, and reward distribution logic. All contracts are built with OpenZeppelin standards, undergo internal audits, and are prepared for third-party review.
Deployment & Integration
We manage the full deployment lifecycle on your chosen network (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.) and provide seamless integration guides for your existing front-end and back-end systems, ensuring a smooth launch for your DAO members.
DAO Compensation Simulation FAQs

From initial data collection to final model delivery, a standard engagement takes 2-4 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and data analysis phase, 1-2 weeks for model development and initial simulation runs, and a final week for refinement and documentation. Complex multi-token or multi-DAO structures may extend this timeline.
