Real-time, multi-chain analytics service that identifies wash trading, fraudulent listing schemes, and coordinated manipulation to protect NFT marketplace integrity and collector trust.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
FOUNDATION

Custom Blockchain Development

Build a secure, scalable blockchain tailored to your specific business logic and performance requirements.

We architect and deploy purpose-built blockchains that move beyond generic solutions. Our development focuses on custom consensus mechanisms, optimized transaction throughput, and native tokenomics designed for your use case—whether it's a high-frequency DeFi protocol, a supply chain ledger, or a gaming ecosystem.

From a 2-week PoC to a mainnet-ready chain, we deliver a production-grade foundation with clear documentation and handover.

  • Core Protocol Design: Custom Substrate, Cosmos SDK, or EVM-compatible chains.
  • Performance Tuning: Achieve >10,000 TPS with sub-second finality for your specific workload.
  • Security-First Builds: Implementation of formal verification, economic security audits, and battle-tested cryptography.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Genesis block setup, validator onboarding, governance frameworks, and ongoing node operations.

REAL-TIME PROTECTION

Core Detection Capabilities

Our detection engine combines on-chain data analysis with behavioral modeling to identify and flag market manipulation in real-time, protecting your platform's integrity and user trust.

02

Pump & Dump Scheme Identification

Detects rapid price inflation followed by coordinated dumping, often signaled by social media hype and sudden liquidity changes. Our models track volume spikes, holder concentration, and off-chain sentiment correlation.

FROM DATA TO DEFENSE

Our Detection and Integration Process

A streamlined, four-phase methodology designed to integrate sophisticated NFT market manipulation detection into your platform with minimal disruption and maximum security.

01

1. Data Ingestion & Normalization

We connect to your data sources—on-chain via RPC nodes and off-chain via exchange APIs—and normalize the data into a unified schema. This provides a single source of truth for all NFT transaction and listing activity.

Client Value: Eliminates data silos and ensures your detection engine analyzes complete, real-time market data.

2. Pattern Detection Engine

Our proprietary algorithms analyze normalized data streams in real-time to identify wash trading, spoofing, pump-and-dump, and collusive bidding patterns. Rules are based on peer-reviewed financial market surveillance adapted for NFT mechanics.

Client Value: Proactively flags suspicious activity before it impacts your marketplace's integrity or user trust.

3. Risk Scoring & Alerting

Each detected event is assigned a dynamic risk score based on transaction volume, wallet clustering, and historical behavior. Customizable alert thresholds trigger notifications to your moderation team via Slack, Discord, or API webhooks.

Client Value: Prioritizes actionable intelligence, allowing your team to focus on high-risk incidents that require immediate intervention.
