Polkadot Parachain Development for IoT | Chainscore Labs

overview

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your protocol. Our development process is built for security and efficiency from day one.

Production-Ready Code: Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, following established security patterns.
Gas Optimization: Every line is reviewed to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption.
Full Audit Support: Code is structured for seamless integration with third-party auditors like CertiK or Trail of Bits.

We deliver battle-tested contracts that power DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and DAOs, reducing your time-to-market from months to weeks.

Our engineers specialize in:

Token Standards: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 implementations.
DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, and lending vaults.
Upgradeable Systems: Using Transparent Proxy or UUPS patterns for future-proofing.
