Rollup Virtual Machine Customization
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Audit-Ready Code: Built with
Solidity 0.8+and OpenZeppelin libraries, following best practices for formal verification. - Comprehensive Testing: Full test suites with 95%+ coverage, including edge cases and mainnet fork simulations.
- Deployment & Management: Automated deployment pipelines, upgradeability patterns (Transparent/
UUPS), and on-chain monitoring.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and maintainable codebase in 4-6 weeks, reducing your time-to-market and technical risk.
Our Rollup VM Customization Capabilities
We architect and deploy purpose-built virtual machines that align with your application's specific logic, security, and performance requirements, moving beyond generic frameworks.
State Transition Logic
Define bespoke rules for how your rollup processes transactions and updates state. We build deterministic execution environments optimized for DeFi order matching, gaming mechanics, or high-frequency trading logic.
Prover & Verifier Optimization
For ZK-Rollups, we customize the proving system (e.g., Plonk, STARK) and verifier smart contract for your VM's instruction set, achieving sub-2 second proof generation for specific transaction batches.
Fee Market & MEV Mitigation
Implement custom transaction ordering, priority fee mechanisms, and PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation) logic directly within the VM to control economic dynamics and extract or redistribute MEV.
Business Outcomes of a Customized VM
Customizing your rollup's virtual machine is a strategic technical investment. Here are the measurable business outcomes you can expect when partnering with Chainscore Labs.
Optimized Transaction Economics
We implement custom precompiles and gas metering to reduce your protocol's operational costs by up to 40%, directly improving your bottom line and user affordability.
Faster Time-to-Market
Leverage our battle-tested VM templates and development frameworks to launch your custom L2 or appchain in 6-8 weeks, not 6-8 months.
Enhanced Protocol Security
Our VMs are built with formal verification in mind and undergo rigorous audits by partners like Trail of Bits, ensuring your core logic is resilient against novel attack vectors.
Unmatched Application Performance
Achieve sub-second block times and support thousands of TPS for your DeFi or gaming dApp, eliminating bottlenecks during peak demand.
Future-Proof Architecture
Gain the flexibility to integrate new cryptographic primitives (like zk-SNARKs) or upgrade opcodes without a hard fork, protecting your long-term technical roadmap.
Custom VM vs. Generic Rollup: A Technical & Business Comparison
Choosing the right rollup architecture is a foundational decision. This comparison highlights the key technical and business trade-offs between a generic, off-the-shelf solution and a custom virtual machine tailored to your application's specific needs.
| Feature | Generic Rollup (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism) | Custom VM by Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Market for Niche Logic | Months (requires complex workarounds) | 4-8 Weeks (native support) |
Transaction Cost (Gas) Efficiency | Standard (pays for unused opcodes) | Optimized (up to 70% reduction) |
Execution Environment Flexibility | Fixed (EVM/SVM) | Custom (WASM, zkVM, Domain-Specific VM) |
Protocol-Level Feature Control | None (subject to L2 upgrades) | Full (custom precompiles, fee markets) |
Security & Audit Surface | Community-tested, but broad | Tailored, minimized attack surface |
Developer Experience for Your Use Case | Generic tooling, potential friction | Custom SDKs & tooling |
Long-term Technical Debt | High (vendor lock-in, upgrade cycles) | Low (own the core stack) |
Typical Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $50K-$200K+ (ongoing fees, dev time) | $150K-$500K (build once, own forever) |
Ideal For | Standard dApps, quick MVPs | High-performance DeFi, Gaming, Enterprise |
Our Methodology for Rollup VM Development
We deliver production-ready rollup virtual machines through a structured, security-first development lifecycle designed for rapid deployment and long-term reliability.
Architecture & Design Review
We analyze your application's specific needs to design a VM architecture optimized for your use case—whether it's a high-throughput DEX, a gaming L2, or a private enterprise chain. This includes selecting the optimal base (EVM, SVM, Cairo VM) and customizing opcodes.
Core VM Implementation
Our engineers build the core execution environment, integrating custom precompiles, state transition logic, and gas metering. We implement using battle-tested frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro or OP Stack as a foundation for security and speed.
Sequencer & Prover Integration
We develop and integrate the sequencer for transaction ordering and the prover (ZK or Fraud Proof) for state verification. This ensures your rollup achieves its promised security model and finality guarantees.
DevOps & Node Deployment
We provision the infrastructure, deploy validator/sequencer nodes, and set up monitoring with Grafana/Prometheus dashboards. Clients receive a fully operational testnet and a clear path to mainnet launch.
Documentation & Handoff
We provide comprehensive technical documentation, operational runbooks, and training for your team. This ensures a smooth transition to your internal DevOps and long-term maintainability.

Frequently Asked Questions on Rollup VM Customization
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for your custom rollup development project.
A standard rollup deployment with a custom virtual machine takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design, 2-4 weeks for core VM development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for testing, security audits, and deployment. For complex, high-throughput applications requiring novel opcodes or consensus modifications, timelines can extend to 12+ weeks. We provide a detailed, phased project plan at the start of every engagement.
