We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage development process, including formal verification and third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp, before mainnet deployment.
Cosmos SDK AppChain for Enterprises
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
- Custom Logic: Build DeFi primitives, NFT collections, DAO governance, or bespoke business logic.
- Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through expert optimization.
- Full Audit Trail: Receive comprehensive documentation and a verifiable public audit report.
- Post-Deployment Support: Includes monitoring, upgradeability planning, and emergency response.
We don't just write code; we deliver audited, battle-tested systems that form the immutable backbone of your application.
Core Capabilities of Your AppChain
We deliver production-ready Cosmos SDK AppChains with the security, scalability, and sovereignty required for institutional applications. Each chain is built to your exact specifications and backed by our operational expertise.
Business Outcomes for Your Consortium
Deploying a Cosmos SDK AppChain with Chainscore delivers measurable, strategic advantages for your consortium members and business operations.
Reduced Transaction Costs & Finality
Eliminate unpredictable gas fees and achieve sub-2 second finality for consortium transactions. Our optimized IBC-enabled chains reduce cross-chain settlement costs by over 90% compared to public L1s.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Built-in compliance modules for KYC/AML, transaction monitoring, and permissioned validator sets. We implement enterprise-grade identity solutions (like w3n) to meet financial regulatory standards.
Faster Time-to-Market
Go from concept to a production-ready, mainnet AppChain in under 6 weeks. Our modular SDK tooling and deployment automation accelerate development, testing, and governance setup.
Enhanced Security & Sovereignty
Maintain full control over your chain's security model, upgrade path, and validator set. All deployments include formal verification of core modules and are backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Operational Cost Predictability
Fixed-fee operational model eliminates the variable costs of public networks. Gain full visibility into infrastructure spend with dedicated node orchestration and monitoring.

Our Development & Deployment Process
A structured, security-first approach to building and launching your custom Cosmos SDK AppChain. We deliver production-ready infrastructure with clear milestones and guaranteed outcomes.
Architecture & Design
We define your chain's economic model, consensus mechanism (CometBFT), and governance framework. This includes tokenomics, validator set design, and IBC connectivity planning.
Core Development
Our engineers build your custom modules in Go, implement business logic, and integrate essential tooling (CosmJS, CosmWasm if needed). All code follows Cosmos SDK best practices.
Security & Audit
Every module undergoes internal review followed by a formal audit from a leading Web3 security firm. We provide a remediation report and implement all critical fixes.
Testnet Deployment
We deploy a persistent, multi-validator testnet for your team. This phase includes stress testing, upgrade simulations, and integration with wallets and explorers.
Mainnet Launch
Managed genesis ceremony and secure validator onboarding. We provide 24/7 monitoring, incident response playbooks, and a full handover to your operations team.
Post-Launch Support
Ongoing maintenance, chain upgrades (via governance), and performance optimization. Optional managed validator services and IBC relayer configuration available.
Build vs. Use a Generic Layer 1
A direct comparison of the operational, financial, and strategic outcomes between developing a custom Cosmos SDK AppChain and deploying on a generic public L1.
| Decision Factor | Build a Generic L1 App | Deploy a Chainscore AppChain |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production Launch | 6-12+ months | 8-16 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $1M+ | $75K - $300K |
Protocol Sovereignty & Customization | Limited by host chain rules | Full control over fees, governance, and VM |
Security & Audit Burden | Your team's responsibility | Includes formal audit & secure base framework |
Interoperability (IBC) Setup | Manual, complex integration | Pre-configured, production-ready IBC |
Team & Expertise Required | Specialized 5-10 person team | 2-3 of your devs + our experts |
Ongoing Validator Operations | Recruit & manage 100+ validators | We provide managed validator set or guidance |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $500K - $1.5M+ | $150K - $450K |
Time to First Custom Module | 3-6 months of R&D | 4-8 weeks with our SDK templates |
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for your custom Cosmos AppChain deployment.
From kickoff to mainnet launch, a standard enterprise AppChain deployment takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2-3 weeks for architecture and tokenomics design, 3-4 weeks for core development and IBC integration, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and final deployment. We deliver a testnet for validation at the 4-week mark.
