Satellite Constellation Management Protocol Architecture

We design and implement custom DePIN protocol architecture for autonomous coordination, resource allocation, and governance of multi-satellite constellations. Move beyond generic network design.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by expert Solidity engineers.

We deliver audit-ready contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Vyper, and OpenZeppelin libraries, ensuring gas-optimized, secure, and upgradeable code from day one.

  • Custom Logic: Build complex DeFi primitives, governance systems, and multi-signature wallets.
  • Security-First: Adherence to EIP standards and formal verification practices to mitigate exploits.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment on EVM chains and L2s.

Ship your core blockchain logic with confidence. We provide a 99.9% uptime SLA for deployed contracts and detailed technical documentation for your team.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Delivery Methodology

We deliver production-ready Satellite Constellation Management Protocol architectures through a structured, security-first development lifecycle designed for reliability and rapid deployment.

01

Architecture & Protocol Design

We design custom, interoperable protocol architectures using standards like CCSDS and IETF SCION for secure, low-latency satellite-to-ground communication. This ensures your constellation can scale and integrate with existing ground infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our architecture, process, and support for building resilient satellite-to-blockchain networks.

A standard deployment for a foundational protocol layer takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 2 weeks for architecture design and consensus modeling, 3-4 weeks for core smart contract development and on-chain testing, and 2-3 weeks for integration testing with ground station simulators and final security audits. Complex multi-orbit or cross-chain architectures can extend to 14-16 weeks.
