We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that form the trustless backbone of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles and battle-tested patterns.
EVM-Compatible Storage Protocol Engineering
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.
- Custom Logic: From
ERC-20tokens andERC-721NFTs to complex DeFi primitives like AMMs and lending pools. - Security & Audits: Built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries and subjected to rigorous internal audits before third-party review. - Gas Optimization: Every line of
Soliditycode is optimized for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40%. - Full Lifecycle: We handle development, testing, deployment, and verification on mainnet and testnets.
Deliver a secure, audited, and gas-efficient smart contract suite in 4-6 weeks, ready for mainnet launch.
Core Protocol Capabilities We Engineer
We architect and deliver the essential, production-ready components for your EVM-compatible storage protocol. Focus on your application logic while we handle the complex, secure, and scalable infrastructure layer.
Business Outcomes of a Custom Storage Network
Our EVM-compatible storage protocol engineering delivers tangible infrastructure advantages, moving beyond generic solutions to provide measurable business results.
Predictable & Reduced Costs
Eliminate unpredictable gas fees for on-chain data storage. Our custom protocols optimize data structures and leverage Layer-2 solutions, delivering up to 90% lower storage costs compared to naive on-chain approaches.
Enhanced Application Performance
Achieve sub-second data retrieval and high-throughput writes. We architect for low-latency access patterns, enabling real-time dApp experiences that retain full decentralization guarantees.
Faster Time-to-Market
Deploy a production-ready, custom storage layer in weeks, not months. We provide a full-stack solution: protocol design, smart contract integration, node infrastructure, and client SDKs.
Future-Proof Scalability
Design storage that grows with your user base. Our modular architecture supports seamless sharding, cross-chain data bridging, and easy upgrades without disrupting live applications.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Build with data sovereignty and selective disclosure in mind. We engineer access control, data encryption, and deletion mechanisms that align with emerging Web3 regulatory frameworks.

Our Engineering Process
A structured, security-first approach to building production-ready EVM storage protocols that scale. We deliver audited, maintainable code with clear documentation.
Architecture & Design
We design modular, upgradeable storage architectures using patterns like Diamond Proxy (EIP-2535) and UUPS. This ensures your protocol can evolve without disrupting users or requiring complex migrations.
Smart Contract Development
Implementation in Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries. We focus on gas efficiency, secure access control, and comprehensive event logging for full on-chain transparency.
Security & Auditing
Rigorous internal testing followed by formal verification and audits from industry-leading firms. We deliver a final report and remediation before mainnet deployment.
Integration & Deployment
Seamless integration with frontends, indexers, and oracles. We manage the deployment process across testnets and mainnet (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.) with verified source code.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Protocol vs. Generic Storage API
A technical and economic comparison for CTOs and technical founders evaluating storage solutions for their EVM applications.
| Decision Factor | Build In-House | Generic Storage API | Chainscore Custom Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 1-2 weeks | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $150K-$400K+ | $0 (integration only) | $50K-$200K |
Protocol Customization | Full control | None (vendor-locked) | Tailored to your logic |
Security Posture | Your responsibility (high risk) | Vendor's shared responsibility | Audited & insured (low risk) |
Gas Optimization | Custom, but costly to develop | Generic, often inefficient | Optimized for your use case |
Data Sovereignty & Portability | Complete | Limited (vendor lock-in) | Complete (you own the contracts) |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Full internal team burden | Managed by vendor | Optional SLA with 24/7 support |
Integration Complexity | High (build everything) | Low (simple API calls) | Moderate (we handle the protocol) |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $200K-$500K+ | $10K-$50K (usage fees) | $75K-$250K (all-inclusive) |
Best For | Teams with deep protocol expertise and unlimited time/budget | MVPs or apps with simple, generic storage needs | Scale-ups requiring optimized, secure, and ownable infrastructure |
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, timelines, and technical approach for building robust decentralized storage solutions.
A standard EVM-compatible storage protocol MVP with core features (data anchoring, retrieval, incentive mechanisms) typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. Complex systems with advanced features like zero-knowledge proofs for privacy or multi-chain interoperability can take 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial scoping phase.
