Legacy SWIFT Integration Modernization
Smart Contract Development
Custom smart contract development with enterprise-grade security and gas optimization.
From concept to mainnet, we deliver battle-tested contracts you can trust.
Our process includes:
- Formal Specification & Architecture: Design using industry standards like
ERC-20,ERC-721, and custom logic. - Secure Development: Write in
Solidity 0.8+orVyperusingOpenZeppelinlibraries and established patterns. - Rigorous Testing & Auditing: Comprehensive unit/integration tests, plus review by internal and third-party auditors.
- Gas Optimization: Fine-tune contract logic to reduce deployment and transaction fees by up to 40%.
Deliverables you receive:
- Production-ready, fully documented source code.
- Audit reports and a public verification package for transparency.
- Deployment scripts and post-launch monitoring setup.
- Typical MVP delivery in 3-4 weeks.
Core Capabilities of Our SWIFT Modernization Platform
We replace legacy SWIFT messaging with a modern, API-driven infrastructure that delivers measurable improvements in speed, cost, and developer experience.
Bank-Agnostic Connectivity
Connect to multiple correspondent banks through a single, unified API layer. We manage the underlying SWIFTNet, SEPA, and local clearing protocols, simplifying your treasury operations and reducing vendor lock-in.
Automated Compliance & Screening
Embedded sanctions screening (OFAC, EU) and AML checks for every transaction using our proprietary rules engine. Maintain audit trails and generate compliance reports automatically to meet regulatory requirements.
Enterprise SLAs & Monitoring
Guaranteed platform performance with 99.95% uptime SLA, 24/7 incident response, and real-time dashboards for transaction health, latency, and success rates. Enterprise-grade support included.
Business Outcomes for Financial Institutions
Modernizing SWIFT integration with blockchain delivers concrete, quantifiable improvements to your core operations. We focus on outcomes that impact your bottom line and competitive edge.
Reduce Settlement Times from Days to Minutes
Replace multi-day correspondent banking delays with near-instant atomic settlement on-chain. Accelerate treasury operations and unlock capital efficiency.
Cut Cross-Border Payment Costs by 70%+
Eliminate intermediary bank fees and FX markups. Our direct, programmatic SWIFT-to-blockchain routing slashes transaction costs for high-volume corridors.
Achieve End-to-End Transaction Visibility
Gain immutable, real-time tracking from SWIFT initiation to on-chain finality. Automate reconciliation and audit trails, eliminating manual SWIFT MT/MX message chasing.
Deploy with Zero SWIFT Network Disruption
Our co-existing architecture integrates with your existing SWIFTNet infrastructure. No need to replace legacy systems—extend their capabilities securely.
Automate Compliance & Sanctions Screening
Embed programmable compliance logic (e.g., OFAC checks) directly into the payment flow using smart contracts. Reduce manual review workload and regulatory risk.
Unlock New Revenue with 24/7 Liquidity Pools
Transform idle nostro/vostro accounts into yield-generating on-chain liquidity pools. Enable instant FX and settlement for clients outside banking hours.
Legacy SWIFT vs. Chainscore Modernized Workflow
Directly compare the technical debt and operational overhead of legacy SWIFT integration against a modern, API-driven blockchain solution.
| Integration Factor | Legacy SWIFT | Chainscore Modernized Workflow |
|---|---|---|
Integration Timeline | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Message Format | MT/MX (ISO 15022/20022) | REST API / Webhooks |
Settlement Finality | 1-5 business days | < 2 seconds |
Operational Cost (Annual) | $200K+ in infrastructure & support | From $50K (predictable API pricing) |
Developer Experience | Proprietary protocols, steep learning curve | Modern SDKs, comprehensive documentation |
Transaction Transparency | Opaque, bank-mediated status | Real-time, on-chain tracking |
Security Model | Centralized, perimeter-based | Decentralized, cryptographically verifiable |
Uptime & Reliability | Subject to bank/corridor hours | 24/7, 99.9% SLA |
Compliance Overhead | Manual screening, high friction | Programmable rules, embedded KYC/AML |
Scalability | Limited by correspondent banking network | Horizontally scalable with blockchain layer-2s |
Our Phased Implementation Methodology
We de-risk your SWIFT modernization with a structured, outcome-driven approach. Each phase delivers tangible value and clear milestones, ensuring alignment with your business objectives and technical requirements.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing SWIFT flows and define the target state architecture. This includes mapping message types (MT/MX), identifying integration points, and designing the smart contract logic for payment routing and compliance.
Phase 2: Core Protocol Development
Our engineers build and deploy the foundational smart contracts for cross-border settlement. This includes the payment router, FX rate oracle integration, and compliance modules (AML/KYC) with on-chain attestations.
Phase 3: Gateway Integration
We develop and deploy the secure, bi-directional gateway that connects your legacy SWIFTNet infrastructure to the blockchain protocol. This includes ISO 20022 message translation, secure key management, and failover mechanisms.
Phase 4: Pilot & Go-Live
We execute a controlled pilot with a subset of corridors and transaction types, validating end-to-end functionality and performance. Following successful validation, we manage the phased production rollout and provide comprehensive operational handover.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana. Our contracts are built for high-throughput DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications, with a focus on gas optimization and upgradability patterns like EIP-2535 Diamonds.
We deliver a full audit-ready codebase in 2-4 weeks, complete with comprehensive documentation and test coverage exceeding 95%.
- Security-First Development: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards, formal verification tools, and internal review before your audit. - Key Deliverables: Custom
ERC-20/721/1155, Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Staking/Vesting, Multi-Sig Wallets, and Governance modules. - Post-Deployment Support: Includes monitoring, incident response playbooks, and proactive upgrade management.
Frequently Asked Questions on SWIFT Modernization
Common technical and commercial questions from CTOs and engineering leads modernizing SWIFT-based payment systems with blockchain.
Standard deployments take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production. This includes a 2-week discovery/design phase, 3-5 weeks of development and integration, and a final week for testing and deployment. Complex multi-bank or multi-currency projects may extend to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart during the proposal phase.
