overview
SECURE FOUNDATIONS

Smart Contract Development

Production-ready smart contracts built for security, scalability, and long-term success.

We architect and deploy secure, gas-optimized smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our development process is built on audited OpenZeppelin libraries and follows industry-standard security patterns to mitigate risks from day one.

Deploy with confidence, backed by formal verification and multi-audit practices.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored Solidity 0.8+ contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and enterprise use cases.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Proven Security: Every contract undergoes internal review, automated analysis, and third-party audit readiness.
  • Key Deliverables: Production-ready source code, comprehensive documentation, and deployment scripts.

Business Outcomes of a Sharded Data Layer

NEAR's sharded architecture provides linear scalability, but unlocking its full potential for your application requires expert integration. We build the data layer that turns theoretical throughput into tangible business results.

01

Linear Cost Scaling

Our sharded database design ensures your infrastructure costs grow predictably with user adoption, not exponentially. Avoid the "blockchain scaling cliff" that cripples growth for monolithic chains.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Delivery Methodology

We deliver production-ready NEAR sharded database integrations through a structured, transparent process designed for technical founders. Each phase is built on our deep protocol expertise and a commitment to measurable outcomes.

01

Architecture & Shard Design

We analyze your data model and transaction patterns to design an optimal sharding strategy. We define shard keys, cross-shard communication protocols, and data locality rules to maximize throughput and minimize latency for your specific use case.

Smart Contract & Indexer Development

Our engineers develop and audit the core on-chain logic for data writes and the off-chain indexers that sync sharded state. We use Rust for NEAR contracts and implement robust error handling and gas optimization patterns.

NEAR Sharding Integration FAQ

Common questions from CTOs and engineering leads about integrating Chainscore's managed NEAR sharded database solution.

A complete integration from architecture to production typically takes 3-6 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and design phase, 2-4 weeks of core development and integration, and a final week for testing and deployment. For projects with existing NEAR infrastructure, we've delivered sharded state separation in as little as 2 weeks.
