CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and regulatory compliance from day one.

Audit-Ready Code: Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin standards, prepared for third-party audits.
Multi-Chain Deployment: Deploy to EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) or Solana with a single codebase strategy.
Measurable Outcomes: Achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, reduce gas costs by up to 40%, and launch your MVP in as little as 2 weeks.

We don't just write code; we engineer the financial and operational logic that powers your business.

Our full-service delivery includes:

End-to-End Development: From technical specification and Hardhat/Foundry testing to mainnet deployment and verification.
Upgradeability & Security: Implement proxy patterns and timelock controllers for secure, future-proof contracts.
Post-Launch Support: Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and incident response to protect your assets and users.

TAILORED DAO FRAMEWORKS

Core Customization Capabilities

We architect and deploy bespoke DAO frameworks that align precisely with your governance model, tokenomics, and operational workflows. Move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions.

Governance Module Engineering

Custom on-chain voting systems (token-weighted, quadratic, conviction) with multi-sig execution and proposal lifecycle management. Integrate Snapshot, Tally, or build proprietary interfaces.

EXPLORE

Treasury & Multi-Sig Infrastructure

Secure, programmable treasury management with Gnosis Safe or custom multi-signature modules. Configure spending limits, automated streams (Sablier/Superfluid), and investment policies.

EXPLORE

Membership & Access Control

Design token-gated (ERC-20, ERC-721) or role-based membership systems. Implement staking-for-access, soulbound badges (ERC-5192), and granular permission layers for committees and working groups.

EXPLORE

Incentive & Reward Mechanisms

Build custom reward distribution systems for contributors, including vesting schedules, staking rewards, and automated bounty payouts. Integrate with oracles for real-world performance metrics.

EXPLORE

Compliance & Legal Wrappers

Implement on-chain compliance features for regulated entities: KYC/AML gateways, transfer restrictions, and legal entity abstraction (using Aragon OSx or custom frameworks).

EXPLORE

Integration & Interoperability

Seamlessly connect your AppChain DAO with existing DeFi primitives (Uniswap, Aave), cross-chain bridges (Axelar, LayerZero), and off-chain data sources via custom adapters and oracles.

Regulatory Compliance by Design

Build KYC-gated voting modules, compliant token distribution, and transparent proposal logs. Future-proof your DAO for evolving global regulatory standards.

Faster Time-to-Market

Leverage our battle-tested governance templates and modular architecture. Go from design to a fully audited, mainnet-ready DAO in weeks, not months.

Strategic Infrastructure Decision

Custom Framework vs. Off-the-Shelf DAO Tooling

Choosing the right foundation for your DAO is critical for governance, security, and scalability. This comparison outlines the trade-offs between building a custom framework and using generic tooling.

Decision Factor	Off-the-Shelf Tooling (e.g., Snapshot, Tally)	Chainscore Custom AppChain DAO
Time to Initial Launch	1-2 weeks	4-8 weeks
Governance Model Flexibility	Limited to templates	Fully bespoke (quadratic, conviction, multi-sig)
On-Chain vs. Off-Chain Execution	Primarily off-chain signaling	Fully on-chain execution & automation
Smart Contract Security	Community-audited, shared risk	Dedicated audit (OpenZeppelin, CertiK patterns)
Native Token Integration & Economics	Basic ERC-20 support	Custom tokenomics, vesting, staking modules
Cross-Chain & Multi-Asset Treasury	Not supported	Built-in support for multi-chain assets
Developer Experience & APIs	Standard plugin ecosystem	Custom SDKs, subgraphs, and admin panels
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1)	$0-$50K (subscription fees)	$80K-$250K (development & audit)
Long-Term Scalability & Upgrades	Dependent on vendor roadmap	Full ownership, upgradeable architecture

STRUCTURED FOR SPEED AND SECURITY

Our Integration & Development Process

A proven, end-to-end framework for launching and scaling your AppChain DAO. We deliver production-ready infrastructure, not just code, with clear milestones and guaranteed outcomes.

1. Architecture & Governance Design

We define your DAO's core governance model, tokenomics, and on-chain voting mechanisms. This includes customizing proposal types, quorum logic, and treasury management rules to match your specific use case.

2-4 weeks

Design Phase

3+ models

Governance Templates

2. Smart Contract Development

Implementation of secure, gas-optimized smart contracts for governance, token distribution, and treasury operations. Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, following established security patterns.

OpenZeppelin

Technical & Commercial Questions

AppChain DAO Customization FAQs

Answers to the most common questions CTOs and founders ask when evaluating a custom DAO for their application-specific blockchain.

From kickoff to mainnet deployment, a standard AppChain DAO customization project takes 4-6 weeks. This includes 1 week for requirements & design, 2-3 weeks for core development and integration, 1 week for internal QA and security review, and 1 week for client testing and deployment. Complex multi-token governance or custom treasury modules can extend this by 1-2 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart at project start.
