OpenZeppelinstandards and comprehensive audit trails. - Data & Indexing: Custom
The Graphsubgraphs and real-time data pipelines for on-chain analytics. - DevOps & Security: Automated CI/CD, multi-signature wallet setups, and monitoring with
Prometheus/Grafana.
Deploy a fully managed testnet in under 48 hours and transition to mainnet with confidence. We handle the complexity so you can scale.
Core Architecture of Your Settlement Layer
We build your ZK-Rollup settlement layer on a battle-tested, modular architecture designed for high-frequency trading and institutional-grade security. Every component is optimized for performance, cost, and seamless integration.
Business Outcomes for Your Trading Platform
Our ZK-Rollup settlement layer is engineered to deliver measurable, production-ready advantages. We focus on concrete outcomes that directly impact your platform's performance, security, and bottom line.
Sub-Second Finality
Achieve near-instant trade confirmation with our optimized ZK-rollup architecture, eliminating the multi-block wait times of L1 settlement. This directly improves user experience and enables high-frequency trading strategies.
Radically Lower Transaction Costs
Batching thousands of trades into a single L1 proof reduces gas fees per swap by over 90%. Pass these savings to your users to drive volume or retain them as margin to boost profitability.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Built on battle-tested cryptographic libraries (Plonk, Groth16) with formal verification for core circuits. Includes built-in tools for transaction monitoring and address screening to meet regulatory requirements.
Seamless EVM Compatibility
Full compatibility with Ethereum tooling (MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry) and smart contracts. Developers can port existing DEX logic with minimal changes, accelerating your time-to-market.
Guaranteed Uptime & Support
We operate the sequencer and prover infrastructure with a financially-backed SLA. Includes 24/7 monitoring, rapid fault recovery, and dedicated technical support to ensure your platform's reliability.
Customizable Fee & Governance Models
Implement your own fee structure (flat, tiered, dynamic) and governance mechanisms for protocol upgrades. Maintain full control over economic policy and revenue streams.
ZK-Rollup Settlement: Build vs. Buy vs. Generic L2
A technical and economic comparison of approaches for launching a high-performance DEX settlement layer.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Generic L2 (e.g., Arbitrum) | Chainscore Custom ZK-Rollup |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12+ months | 2-4 weeks | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Dev Cost | $300K - $1M+ | $5K - $50K (gas/deployment) | $75K - $200K |
Custom Logic & Features | Full control | Limited to L2's VM | Full control, protocol-specific |
Settlement Finality | Custom (your risk) | ~1 min (L1 dependent) | < 2 seconds (ZK-proof verified) |
Throughput (TPS) | Theoretically high | Shared with all L2 apps | Dedicated, 10,000+ TPS |
Security Model | Your audit burden | Inherits L2 security + your app risk | Audited ZK-circuits + your app logic |
Ongoing Maintenance | Full DevOps team required | Minimal (L2 provider manages) | Optional Managed SLA available |
Revenue Model Control | 100% of sequencer/MEV fees | Shares fees with L2 | 100% of sequencer/MEV fees |
Total Cost (Year 1) | $500K - $1.5M+ | $50K - $150K+ (recurring fees) | $150K - $300K (fixed + optional SLA) |
Best For | Teams with 10+ dedicated ZK engineers | MVPs or apps needing shared liquidity | Scaling DEXs requiring performance & sovereignty |
Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Mainnet
A structured, transparent 4-phase engagement delivering a production-ready ZK-Rollup settlement layer. We de-risk your DEX launch with clear milestones, guaranteed SLAs, and continuous security validation.
Phase 1: Architecture & Design
We define your DEX's core parameters: tokenomics, fee models, and consensus mechanisms. Deliverables include a detailed technical specification and a 2-week implementation roadmap.
Phase 2: Core Development & Testing
Build the sequencer, prover network, and bridge contracts in Rust/Solidity. Includes a dedicated testnet with automated load testing for >10k TPS and sub-second finality.
Phase 3: Security & Audit
Rigorous security is non-negotiable. We conduct internal audits against known ZK-Rollup vulnerabilities and facilitate a formal audit with a top-tier firm like Spearbit or Zellic.
Phase 4: Mainnet Deployment & Monitoring
Managed deployment of your ZK-Rollup with multi-sig governance. We provide a 24/7 monitoring dashboard for sequencer health, proof generation, and bridge security, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Technical and Commercial FAQs
Answers to the most common technical and commercial questions from CTOs and founders evaluating a custom ZK-Rollup solution.
For a standard ZK-Rollup DEX settlement layer, we deliver a production-ready mainnet deployment in 6-10 weeks. This includes 2 weeks for architecture & design, 3-4 weeks for core development and integration, 2 weeks for internal security audits and testing, and 1-2 weeks for client-side integration and final deployment. Complex features like custom privacy circuits or multi-chain bridges can extend this timeline, which we scope and agree upon upfront.
