Infrastructure Comparison
Local Hub vs. Public Testnet Development
Choosing the right development environment is critical for IBC application velocity and reliability. This table compares the key operational factors between a managed local hub and public testnets.
| Development Factor | Public Testnet | Chainscore Local Hub |
|---|---|---|
Environment Stability | Unpredictable (publicly shared) | Guaranteed (dedicated instance) |
Transaction Finality | Variable (2-30+ seconds) | Consistent (< 2 seconds) |
IBC Relayer Control | None (shared, unreliable) | Full (private, configurable) |
State Reset & Forking | Impossible / Slow | Instant (on-demand snapshots) |
Deterministic Testing | Low (network congestion) | High (isolated, repeatable) |
Time to First IBC Packet | Hours (funding, setup) | Minutes (pre-configured) |
Team Collaboration | Chaotic (shared state) | Seamless (shared environment) |
Cost of Failed Tests | Real testnet gas fees | $0 (no gas costs) |
Integration Complexity | High (external dependencies) | Low (self-contained stack) |
Recommended For | Final staging validation | Core development & CI/CD |

IBC Local Hub: Common Questions
Get clear, specific answers on deployment, security, and support for your custom IBC Local Hub.
A standard deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes configuration, custom module development (if needed), security hardening, and final testing. Complex integrations with proprietary protocols or custom IBC applications may extend the timeline, which we scope and quote for upfront.
