We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our development process includes formal verification and comprehensive audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before mainnet deployment.
ZK-SNARK Based Cross-Chain Privacy Swaps
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built by experts to power your Web3 product.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155with advanced features like minting, burning, and governance. - DeFi & dApps: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and multi-signature wallets.
- Security First: Built with
Solidity 0.8+andOpenZeppelinlibraries, following industry best practices. - Full Lifecycle: From initial design and testing to deployment, verification on Etherscan, and ongoing maintenance.
We deliver battle-tested code that reduces risk and accelerates your time-to-market. Our contracts are optimized for gas efficiency and designed for seamless integration with your front-end application.
Core Technical Capabilities We Deliver
We build production-ready, audited infrastructure for private cross-chain swaps. Our focus is on delivering secure, performant, and maintainable systems that scale with your business.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our ZK-SNARK based cross-chain privacy swap infrastructure delivers measurable advantages, from enhanced security to accelerated market entry.
Regulatory-Compliant Privacy
Deploy privacy-preserving swaps that meet evolving global standards like MiCA and FATF Travel Rule. Our architecture provides transaction confidentiality while maintaining full auditability for compliance teams.
Reduced Time-to-Market
Integrate a production-ready, audited privacy layer in weeks, not months. We provide the full stack: ZK circuits, smart contracts, and relayer infrastructure, so your team can focus on core product logic.
Superior User Experience & Liquidity
Enable seamless, private cross-chain swaps with sub-30 second finality. Our system aggregates liquidity from major DEXs and bridges, offering users better rates without exposing their trading history.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Reliability
Build on infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime SLA, backed by formal verification of ZK circuits and smart contracts audited by leading firms. Eliminate single points of failure with decentralized relayers.
Significant Cost Reduction
Cut operational costs by up to 70% versus building in-house. Our managed service handles the complexity of zero-knowledge proof generation, key management, and cross-chain messaging overhead.
Future-Proof Architecture
Leverage a modular system designed for upgrades. Our circuits and contracts support new chains and privacy standards (like zk-SNARKs to zk-STARKs) without requiring a full platform rebuild.
Phased Development & Deliverables

Phase 3: Security & Audit | Internal Security Review External Audit by Top Firm (e.g., Quantstamp, Trail of Bits) Vulnerability Remediation | 3-4 weeks | Formal audit report and hardened, production-grade code |
Phase 4: Integration & Deployment | Frontend SDK / API Integration Testnet Deployment & Staging Mainnet Deployment Support | 2-3 weeks | Live protocol on mainnet, ready for user onboarding |
Phase 5: Monitoring & Support | Real-Time Dashboard Setup Alerting & Incident Response Plan Post-Launch Support (30 days) | Ongoing | Operational system with 99.9% uptime SLA and monitoring |
Our Development Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to building production-ready ZK-SNARK based cross-chain swaps. We deliver audited, high-performance systems, not just proofs of concept.
Privacy-First Architecture Design
We design the zero-knowledge circuit and smart contract architecture in tandem, ensuring privacy guarantees are foundational, not an afterthought. This includes threat modeling and defining precise privacy parameters before a single line of code is written.
Circuit Development & Optimization
Expert implementation of ZK-SNARK circuits (Groth16, Plonk) using Circom or Halo2, focused on minimizing constraints and prover time. We deliver circuits that are efficient enough for real-time user interactions.
Secure Smart Contract Integration
Deployment of verifier contracts and swap managers on target chains (EVM & non-EVM). We use formal verification techniques and extensive property-based testing to secure billions in cross-chain liquidity.
Rigorous Security Audits
Every component undergoes internal review followed by an external audit from a top-tier firm like Spearbit or Zellic. We provide a full audit report and implement all recommendations before mainnet deployment.
Relayer Infrastructure & Monitoring
We build and deploy the off-chain relayer service for proof generation and transaction submission, with 24/7 monitoring, alerting, and failover mechanisms to ensure system reliability.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
Comprehensive technical documentation, operational runbooks, and developer workshops ensure your team can maintain, upgrade, and scale the system independently after handoff.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Protocol vs. Public DEXs
A detailed comparison of developing a custom ZK-SNARK privacy swap protocol in-house versus using a public DEX, highlighting the key trade-offs in time, cost, security, and control.
| Factor | Build In-House | Public DEX (Uniswap, etc.) | Chainscore Custom Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Market | 6-12 months | Immediate | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K-$600K+ | $0 (integration) | $50K-$150K |
Privacy & Compliance Control | Full control | None (public mempool) | Full control with ZK-SNARKs |
Security Posture | High risk (unaudited) | Medium (battle-tested, but public) | Low risk (audited, private) |
Custom Fee & Incentive Model | Fully customizable | Fixed by protocol | Fully customizable |
Cross-Chain Liquidity Access | Must be built | Native to some (e.g., UniswapX) | Designed for cross-chain from day one |
Ongoing Protocol Maintenance | Your engineering team | Protocol DAO | Optional SLA with our team |
Regulatory Readiness (Travel Rule) | Your responsibility | Not applicable | Built-in compliance modules |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K-$750K+ | Low (gas + fees) | $75K-$200K |
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear, technical answers to common questions about our zero-knowledge cross-chain swap development service.
From initial architecture to mainnet deployment, a standard implementation takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for design & circuit specification, 3-4 weeks for core development and testing, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and final deployment. Complex multi-chain integrations or custom privacy features can extend this timeline.
