Subnet & Shard Design for Scalable DePIN

We architect and implement horizontal scaling solutions using subnetworks (Avalanche) and sharding (Near, Ethereum) to partition your DePIN's network load, enabling linear growth in transaction capacity and device throughput.

CORE ENGINEERING

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production by expert Solidity engineers.

We architect and deploy battle-tested smart contracts that form the immutable core of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits before deployment.

From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your business requirements into efficient, on-chain code.

  • Token Standards: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-4626 vaults with tailored minting, burning, and governance logic.
  • DeFi & dApps: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and multi-signature wallets.
  • Security & Audits: Full test suite coverage, Slither/MythX analysis, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 20-40% through efficient storage patterns and opcode-level tuning.

Architectural Trade-offs for Scalability

Monolithic Chain vs. Partitioned DePIN Architecture

A direct comparison of traditional monolithic blockchain design versus a partitioned shard or subnet architecture, highlighting the technical and operational differences critical for scaling Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).

Architectural FactorMonolithic ChainPartitioned DePIN Architecture

Throughput (TPS)

Limited by single chain consensus (e.g., 50-100 TPS)

Horizontally scalable across shards (e.g., 10,000+ TPS)

Hardware Resource Requirements

Uniform, high-spec nodes for all validators

Partitioned; nodes can specialize by shard/subnet

Geographic & Data Locality

Global, uniform data replication (high latency)

Shards can be geo-partitioned for low-latency data access

Development & Upgrade Complexity

Single codebase, simpler coordination

Multi-shard coordination, cross-shard messaging required

Time to Deploy New Shard/Subnet

N/A (cannot add shards)

2-4 weeks with Chainscore's framework

Fault Isolation & Security

Single point of failure; chain halt risk

Faults contained within a shard; network remains operational

Cost to Scale (Year 1)

High (vertical scaling only)

70-80% lower via horizontal scaling

Ideal Use Case

Simple dApps, low-throughput networks

High-throughput DePINs (IoT, compute, wireless, storage)

Subnet & Shard Design for DePIN: FAQs

Get answers to the most common technical and commercial questions about architecting scalable, secure DePIN infrastructure.

From initial architecture to testnet deployment, a typical engagement takes 4-8 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and design phase, 2-4 weeks for custom consensus and sharding logic development, 1-2 weeks for internal testing, and 1 week for deployment and handoff. Complex multi-shard architectures with custom VM integrations can extend to 12 weeks.
