overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your decentralized applications.

We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and DAOs. Our development process ensures security-first design and maintainable code from day one.

  • Custom Logic: Build on ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, or bespoke standards.
  • Full Audit Trail: Code undergoes internal review and is prepared for third-party audits.
  • Deployment & Verification: We handle deployment to mainnet/testnet and full contract verification.

Reduce your time-to-market and technical risk with battle-tested development patterns.

Our engineers specialize in Solidity and Vyper for EVM chains, and Rust for Solana and Cosmos ecosystems. We deliver complete technical documentation and a comprehensive test suite covering edge cases.

A Technical and Operational Comparison

Tokenized ESOs vs. Traditional Equity Management

This table compares the core differences between implementing a modern tokenized Employee Stock Option (ESO) platform and managing traditional equity plans, focusing on technical capabilities, operational efficiency, and cost.

Feature / FactorTraditional Equity ManagementTokenized ESO Platform (Chainscore)

Time to Issue & Settle

2-4 weeks (manual processing)

< 1 hour (automated on-chain)

Global Employee Access

Complex, high-friction (brokerage accounts)

Instant, permissionless (web3 wallet)

Liquidity for Employees

Limited to IPO/acquisition (years)

Secondary market access (immediate post-vest)

Administrative Overhead

High (legal, cap table mgmt, spreadsheets)

Low (automated by smart contracts)

Audit Trail & Transparency

Centralized, opaque records

Immutable, transparent blockchain ledger

Compliance Automation

Manual legal review for each action

Programmatic (e.g., vesting cliffs, blackout periods)

Security & Custody Risk

Centralized (custodian, spreadsheet errors)

Decentralized, non-custodial (employee-held wallets)

Integration with DeFi

Enabled (staking, lending, as collateral)

Typical Implementation Time

6-12 months (legal + ops setup)

4-8 weeks (smart contract dev + audit)

Estimated Annual Cost (100 employees)
