ARCHITECTED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY
Core Privacy-Preserving Capabilities We Deliver
We engineer DAO governance systems where sensitive voting, treasury management, and member data remain confidential by default, without sacrificing on-chain verifiability or compliance.

Build vs. Buy: Custom Privacy DAO vs. Generic Frameworks
A detailed comparison of the total cost, risk, and time investment between developing a privacy-focused DAO in-house, using a generic framework, or partnering with Chainscore for a custom solution.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Use Generic Framework | Chainscore Custom Development |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Launch (MVP) | 6-12 months | 2-4 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $100K | $75K - $200K |
Security Posture | High Risk (Unaudited Code) | Moderate Risk (Community Audits) | Low Risk (Formal Audit + Pen Tests) |
Custom Privacy Logic (ZKPs, TEEs) | Your team builds from scratch | Limited to template options | Designed & built to spec |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full internal team burden | Dependent on framework updates | Optional SLA with 24/7 support |
Integration with Existing Systems | Custom, complex integration | Limited, may require workarounds | Seamless, API-first design |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $600K+ | $80K - $150K | $100K - $250K |
Governance Flexibility | Fully customizable | Constrained by framework | Tailored to your tokenomics |
Compliance & Audit Trail | You design and implement | Basic, may not suffice | Built-in for regulations (e.g., GDPR) |

METHODOLOGY
Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, security-first approach to building and deploying privacy-centric DAOs. We deliver production-ready systems, not just prototypes.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We design your DAO's technical blueprint with privacy as a first-class citizen. This includes selecting and integrating zero-knowledge circuits (zk-SNARKs/zk-STARKs), confidential voting mechanisms, and secure multi-party computation (MPC) frameworks.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your token, DeFi, or NFT project.
We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts with enterprise-grade security and gas optimization. Every contract undergoes a rigorous audit process using both automated tools and manual review by our senior engineers to eliminate vulnerabilities before mainnet deployment.
Deploy with confidence, backed by formal verification and battle-tested security patterns.
- Token Systems: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155implementations with advanced features like vesting, minting controls, and multi-chain bridging. - DeFi Protocols: Development of automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking mechanisms, and yield aggregators.
- Utility & Governance: DAO frameworks, multi-signature wallets, and custom business logic for on-chain operations.
- Delivery: Receive fully documented source code, deployment scripts, and a comprehensive audit report.
Our development cycle is structured for speed and clarity: 2-week MVP sprints with iterative feedback, leading to a production launch in 6-8 weeks on average. We provide ongoing maintenance and upgrade support post-launch.

Frequently Asked Questions on Private DAOs
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and our development process for building a custom, privacy-focused DAO.
A standard private DAO deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes smart contract development, frontend integration, and initial security review. Complex features like custom governance modules or multi-chain support can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during discovery.
