AppChain for Regional Settlement Development

We design and build application-specific blockchains (AppChains) tailored to the regulatory and operational requirements of a specific geographic settlement corridor, enabling compliant, high-speed cross-border transactions.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems. Our code is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries, ensuring audit-ready security from day one.

  • Custom Tokenomics: Design and implement ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic.
  • DeFi & DEX Logic: Build automated market makers (AMMs), liquidity pools, staking systems, and yield aggregators with sub-second finality.
  • Gas Optimization: Every contract is profiled and optimized to reduce user transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full Audit Trail: We deliver comprehensive documentation, NatSpec comments, and a test coverage report exceeding 95%.

From initial spec to mainnet deployment, we manage the entire lifecycle with a 2-week MVP guarantee for standard token contracts.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Development & Governance Methodology

A systematic, security-first approach to building and governing production-grade settlement AppChains. We deliver predictable timelines, enterprise-grade security, and clear operational ownership.

01

Architecture & Protocol Design

We design your AppChain's consensus mechanism, tokenomics, and interoperability layer (IBC/Cosmos SDK) for optimal settlement speed and cost. This includes custom fee markets and validator incentive structures.

2-3 weeks
Design Phase
IBC/Cosmos
Standard Stack
02

Security-First Development

All core modules and smart contracts are built with formal verification in mind, using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard patterns. Code is developed in parallel with audit preparation.

03

Independent Security Audit

We engage top-tier, independent audit firms (e.g., Trail of Bits, Halborn) to conduct rigorous smart contract and chain module reviews before mainnet. We manage the entire process and remediate findings.

AppChain Development: Key Questions

Common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating dedicated blockchain infrastructure for regional settlement.

A standard AppChain for regional settlement deploys in 2-4 weeks post-requirements finalization. This includes custom consensus tuning, bridge integration, and a full security audit cycle. Complex multi-asset or high-TPS requirements may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed, phase-gated project plan at kickoff.
