Move-Based Custody Solution Design

Architect and deploy secure, resource-oriented custody systems on Aptos and Sui. We leverage the Move language's inherent security guarantees for institutional-grade asset management with formal verification.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 veterans.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and ready for mainnet. Our process includes formal verification and comprehensive audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before deployment.

We deliver battle-tested contracts that power real-world value, not just demo code.

  • Protocols & Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom logic.
  • Security First: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries and tested against known attack vectors.
  • Gas Optimization: Every line of Solidity is optimized to reduce transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and monitoring.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE SECURITY

Core Capabilities of Our Move Custody Architecture

Our architecture is purpose-built for the unique security model of the Move language, delivering institutional-grade custody with the flexibility required for modern Web3 applications.

02

Modular Policy Engine

Implement granular, programmable transaction policies (multi-sig, time-locks, spending limits) directly within the Move VM. Policies are enforced on-chain, eliminating off-chain coordination risks.

Gasless Transaction Sponsorship

Abstract gas fees for end-users. Our architecture includes a secure transaction relayer and a Move-based gas tank, enabling seamless user onboarding and predictable operational costs.

Hot/Warm/Cold Key Management

Hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet architecture with Move-based delegation. Isolate keys by risk profile: hot for operations, warm for approvals, cold for master seed storage.

Architectural Security Analysis

Move-Based vs. Traditional EVM Custody: A Security Comparison

A technical breakdown of how Move's resource-oriented programming fundamentally changes the security posture of digital asset custody compared to traditional EVM-based approaches.

Security DimensionTraditional EVM CustodyMove-Based Custody (Chainscore)

Asset Encapsulation

Relies on external checks; assets are mutable data.

Native resource type; assets are non-copyable, non-droppable objects.

Access Control Logic

Custom, error-prone modifiers and require() statements.

Built-in module-level privacy and formal ownership semantics.

Reentrancy Risk

High; requires manual guards (Checks-Effects-Interactions).

Eliminated by the Move VM's linear type system.

Upgrade Strategy Risk

High; proxy patterns introduce admin key centralization.

Low; immutable by default with verifiable package publishing.

Formal Verification

Possible but complex and expensive post-audit.

Native support; Move Prover enables pre-deployment proof of invariants.

Time to Secure Implementation

6-12 months (design, audit, iterate).

2-4 months (leverage inherent security primitives).

Typical Audit Findings

15-30+ critical/high issues per audit cycle.

5-10+ critical/high issues, focused on business logic.

Long-Term Maintenance Burden

High; security patches for common patterns (e.g., ERC-20).

Low; core asset safety guaranteed by the language runtime.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Delivery Methodology for Move Custody

A structured, security-first approach to designing and deploying secure, scalable custody solutions on Move-based blockchains like Aptos and Sui, ensuring rapid time-to-market without compromising on safety.

01

Architecture & Threat Modeling

We begin with a comprehensive security assessment of your custody requirements, mapping out potential attack vectors and designing a modular, multi-signature architecture tailored to your risk profile and asset types.
