We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and DAOs. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit testing.
Hybrid On-Chain/Off-Chain Record Storage Design
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your decentralized applications.
Deliver a secure, gas-optimized MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks with a clear path to mainnet deployment.
- Token Systems: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155contracts with advanced features like vesting, staking, and governance. - DeFi & DEX: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), liquidity pools, yield strategies, and lending/borrowing protocols.
- Security First: Every contract undergoes internal review and is prepared for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
Our Hybrid Storage Architecture Delivers
We architect systems that balance on-chain integrity with off-chain scalability, delivering the performance and cost-efficiency your application requires.
Cost-Optimized Data Handling
Store high-volume transaction data off-chain with cryptographic proofs on-chain, reducing gas fees by up to 90% compared to full on-chain storage. We implement Merkle trees and zk-SNARKs for verifiable state.
Sub-Second Finality for Users
Deliver instant user experiences with off-chain reads while maintaining final settlement on-chain. Our architecture ensures data availability and consistency across both layers.
Audited Security & Data Integrity
Every off-chain record is anchored via hash to Ethereum or Polygon. Our smart contracts and data schemas are built with OpenZeppelin patterns and undergo third-party security audits.
Scalable Schema Design
Future-proof your data model with flexible, indexed off-chain schemas that evolve with your product. We design for complex queries that would be prohibitively expensive on-chain.
Seamless Protocol Integration
Leverage established standards like IPFS, Arweave, and Ceramic for decentralized storage, with smart contracts acting as the source of truth for access control and verification.
Rapid Deployment & Migration
We provide a complete framework, including indexers and APIs, to deploy your hybrid system in weeks, not months. Includes migration paths from legacy centralized databases.
Business Outcomes of a Hybrid Design
Our hybrid on-chain/off-chain architecture delivers measurable advantages for scaling Web3 applications, balancing security, cost, and performance.
Radical Cost Reduction
Move non-critical data off-chain to reduce gas fees by up to 90% for high-frequency operations, while maintaining cryptographic integrity for core assets.
Enterprise-Grade Performance
Achieve sub-second finality for user interactions by processing data off-chain, with periodic on-chain settlement for ultimate trust guarantees.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Design data residency and selective disclosure patterns from day one. Keep sensitive PII off-chain while proving compliance via on-chain attestations.
Faster Time-to-Market
Leverage our pre-audited hybrid design patterns and modular components to launch production-ready applications in weeks, not months.
Uncompromised Security & Auditability
Maintain a cryptographically verifiable trail of all critical state changes on-chain. All off-chain data is integrity-protected with Merkle proofs or ZK-SNARKs.
Seamless Scalability
Easily scale user base and transaction volume without hitting blockchain throughput limits. Our architecture supports horizontal scaling of off-chain components.
Hybrid Storage vs. Traditional Architectures
A side-by-side analysis of the operational, cost, and performance trade-offs between a hybrid on-chain/off-chain storage design and purely on-chain or off-chain approaches.
| Architecture Factor | Purely On-Chain | Purely Off-Chain | Chainscore Hybrid Design |
|---|---|---|---|
Data Integrity & Auditability | High (immutable) | Low (mutable) | High (on-chain proofs, off-chain data) |
Storage Cost (per 1M records) |
| <$100 (cloud) | <$5K (optimized settlement) |
Read/Query Performance | Slow (blockchain RPC) | Fast (SQL/NoSQL) | Fast (off-chain cache) |
Write/Update Latency | High (block time + gas) | Low (<100ms) | Configurable (sync in <2s) |
Development Complexity | High (smart contracts only) | Medium (traditional stack) | Managed (we handle bridge) |
Regulatory Compliance (e.g., GDPR) | Very Difficult | Standard | Designed for Compliance |
Time to Production MVP | 3-6 months | 1-2 months | 4-8 weeks (full stack) |
Ongoing Infrastructure Cost | Unpredictable (gas volatility) | Predictable (cloud billing) | Predictable (fixed + variable) |
Vendor Lock-in Risk | Low (public chain) | High (cloud provider) | Low (portable design) |
Typical Use Case | Fully decentralized apps | Centralized web apps with DB | Scalable dApps, GameFi, Enterprise DeFi |
Our Delivery Process: From Audit to Production
A transparent, phased approach to designing and deploying secure hybrid storage systems. We deliver production-ready infrastructure, not just architecture diagrams.
Phase 1: Architecture & Threat Modeling
We define the optimal data split between on-chain immutability and off-chain scalability, mapping data flows and identifying security boundaries. This phase establishes the technical blueprint and threat model for your system.
Phase 2: Smart Contract & Oracle Development
Development of the core on-chain logic (Solidity/Rust) for data anchoring and verification, paired with secure, high-availability oracle services for reliable off-chain data submission.
Phase 3: Off-Chain Service Implementation
Build and containerize the backend services for data ingestion, processing, and storage (e.g., IPFS, Ceramic, proprietary databases). Includes API design for seamless frontend integration.
Phase 4: Security Audit & Penetration Testing
Comprehensive review of the entire hybrid stack by internal and third-party auditors. Includes smart contract analysis, API security testing, and infrastructure vulnerability assessments.
Phase 5: Staging Deployment & Load Testing
Deployment to a staging environment that mirrors production. We conduct rigorous load and stress testing on both chain interaction and off-chain services to validate performance under peak load.
Phase 6: Production Launch & Monitoring
Managed deployment to mainnet and production cloud infrastructure. We establish real-time monitoring, alerting on data integrity, service health, and gas efficiency, and provide ongoing support.
Hybrid Storage Architecture: Key Questions
Answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating a hybrid on-chain/off-chain data architecture for their Web3 application.
From initial design to production deployment, a typical project takes 4-8 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and architecture workshop, 2-4 weeks for core development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and testing. For complex DeFi or enterprise-grade systems with custom logic, timelines extend to 10-12 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart during the proposal phase.
