We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that power your Web3 product. Our process delivers secure, gas-optimized code with a focus on maintainability and upgradability.
Cross-Chain Payment Channel Bridging
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from concept to deployment.
- End-to-End Development: From initial concept and technical design to deployment on
EVM-compatible chains. - Security-First Approach: All code follows
OpenZeppelinstandards and undergoes rigorous internal review before formal audits. - Proven Patterns: Implementation of established standards like
ERC-20,ERC-721, and custom logic for DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. - Clear Deliverables: You receive the verified source code, comprehensive documentation, and deployment scripts.
We build the foundational logic your dApp relies on, ensuring it operates as intended—securely and efficiently.
Our Interoperability Protocol Capabilities
We build secure, high-performance bridges that move value across chains in seconds, not hours. Our protocol-first approach ensures your payment channels are reliable, cost-effective, and ready for scale.
Multi-Chain Payment Channel Hubs
Deploy non-custodial payment channels that connect Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other EVM chains. Enable instant, low-fee settlements for your users without bridging delays.
Zero-Knowledge Proof Verification
Integrate zk-SNARK proofs for off-chain state verification, ensuring privacy and reducing on-chain gas costs by up to 90% for cross-chain payment finality.
Battle-Tested Bridge Security
Our bridging logic undergoes formal verification and audits by firms like Spearbit. We implement multi-signature governance and time-lock upgrades for maximum asset safety.
Automated Liquidity Rebalancing
Dynamic algorithms monitor and rebalance liquidity across chains in real-time, preventing channel exhaustion and ensuring 99.9% uptime for high-volume payment flows.
Custom Fee & Routing Logic
Tailor fee structures (fixed, percentage, dynamic) and implement custom routing rules based on destination chain congestion, cost, or partner preferences.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our cross-chain payment channel bridging delivers measurable infrastructure improvements, directly impacting your bottom line and user experience.
Sub-Second Settlement
Enable instant, final cross-chain payments for your users, eliminating multi-minute wait times and unlocking new real-time use cases like in-game purchases and microtransactions.
Cost Reduction > 90%
Drastically lower transaction fees by moving high-volume payments off-chain. Our state channel architecture reduces on-chain settlement costs to a fraction of direct L1/L2 bridging.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Deploy with confidence. Our bridging smart contracts are built with OpenZeppelin standards, undergo formal verification, and are backed by a 24/7 monitoring and slashing protocol.
Faster Time-to-Market
Go live in weeks, not months. We provide a fully managed, white-label bridging solution with SDKs for EVM and non-EVM chains, so your team can focus on core product development.
Unified Liquidity Management
Maintain a single liquidity pool that services payments across multiple chains. Our system automates rebalancing and provides real-time analytics on channel utilization and capital efficiency.
Scalable User Onboarding
Support millions of concurrent payment channels without degrading performance. Our horizontally scalable node infrastructure ensures consistent latency as your transaction volume grows 100x.
Build vs. Buy: Cross-Chain Channel Bridging
A detailed comparison of the total cost, risk, and time commitment for building a cross-chain payment channel network in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's managed service.

Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, four-phase approach designed for technical founders to achieve production-ready cross-chain payment channels with minimal operational overhead and maximum security.
Architecture & Protocol Design
We architect your payment channel network, selecting optimal bridging protocols (e.g., Hyperlane, Axelar, LayerZero) and designing the settlement layer for your specific use case. This phase establishes the technical foundation, security model, and gas efficiency targets.
Smart Contract Development & Auditing
Our team writes production-grade, gas-optimized Solidity/Vyper contracts for your channel logic, dispute resolution, and bridge adapters. Every line of code undergoes internal review followed by a formal security audit from a top-tier firm like Spearbit or Code4rena.
Relayer & Infrastructure Deployment
We deploy and configure the off-chain relayers, watchers, and indexers required for seamless cross-chain message passing and state synchronization. Infrastructure is deployed on AWS/GCP with Terraform, featuring automated failover and 24/7 monitoring.
Integration & Go-Live Support
We provide comprehensive SDKs and API documentation for your engineering team, followed by hands-on integration support. Our engineers remain on-call through your launch to ensure smooth operation and handle any immediate post-deployment optimizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our development process, security, and timelines for building custom cross-chain payment channels.
A production-ready cross-chain payment channel network typically takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 2 weeks for architecture design, 3-4 weeks for core smart contract development and internal testing, 2 weeks for external audit integration, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and final integration. For simpler, single-asset bridges, timelines can be as short as 4 weeks.
