We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries, formal verification, and multi-stage audits to mitigate risk.
Hedera Consensus Service for Auditable Payments
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155implementations with custom minting, vesting, and governance. - DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and staking mechanisms.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, asset tokenization platforms, and compliant KYC/AML modules.
- Full Audit Trail: Every contract includes comprehensive documentation and passes

Core Technical Capabilities We Deliver
We architect and deploy enterprise-grade, auditable payment systems on Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), delivering cryptographic proof of every transaction for compliance and operational excellence.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Key Management
Our implementations follow industry best practices for key security, including HSM integration and multi-signature schemes. We ensure your private keys are managed with the highest security standards, protecting your payment infrastructure.
Real-Time Payment Status & Webhooks
We build real-time monitoring dashboards and configure webhook notifications for critical payment events (e.g., consensus achieved, settlement failed). This provides instant operational visibility and enables automated downstream processes.
Scalable Microservice Backend Development
We develop resilient backend services in Node.js, Go, or Java that interact with HCS via the Hedera SDKs. Our architecture is designed for high throughput and horizontal scaling to handle your payment volume growth.
Comprehensive Technical Documentation & Handover
We deliver detailed system architecture diagrams, API specifications, and operational runbooks. Our goal is to ensure your team has full ownership and understanding of the deployed system from day one.
Business Outcomes for Your Payment Platform
Our Hedera Consensus Service development delivers more than just code. We architect auditable payment systems that directly impact your bottom line, security posture, and market speed.
Sub-Second Settlement with Full Audit Trail
Deploy payment systems with HCS-powered finality under 5 seconds, providing an immutable, time-stamped ledger for every transaction. Eliminate reconciliation disputes and automate compliance reporting.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Build on a hashgraph consensus model with ABFT security. Our development integrates enterprise identity (Hedera DID, HIP-27) and privacy layers (Hedera Guardian) for regulated payment flows.
Predictable, Low-Cost Transaction Model
Leverage Hedera's stable, USD-denominated fee schedule. We architect systems for micro-transactions at scale, eliminating gas fee volatility and enabling new business models like pay-per-use APIs.
Rapid Integration & Time-to-Market
Utilize our pre-built HCS listener services, SDK integrations, and deployment templates. Go from concept to live audit stream in under 4 weeks, not months.
Scalable Infrastructure with 99.95% SLA
Deploy on Hedera's mainnet, handling 10,000+ TPS with enterprise SLAs. We provide managed node orchestration and 24/7 monitoring for mission-critical payment systems.
Build vs. Buy: Hedera Audit Layer Integration
A detailed breakdown of the costs, risks, and time investment required to build a Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) audit layer in-house versus partnering with Chainscore Labs.

Ongoing Maintenance (Annual) | $80K - $150K | Optional SLA from $20K/year |
Audit Trail Guarantee | Your responsibility | Legally verifiable proof of consensus |
Support & Upgrades | Internal team burden | Dedicated technical support |
Total Year 1 Cost | $230K - $550K+ | $45K - $95K+ |
Key Risk | Project delays, security flaws, talent attrition | Predictable delivery, audited code, SLA-backed uptime |
Our Implementation Methodology
We deliver auditable payment systems on Hedera Consensus Service with a structured, security-first approach that ensures predictable timelines, enterprise-grade reliability, and rapid time-to-market.
Architecture & Design Review
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing payment flows and design a custom HCS integration architecture. This includes defining immutable audit trails, data structures for consensus, and integration points with your core systems.
Smart Contract & Mirror Node Development
Our team builds and deploys the core HCS message submission logic and configures a dedicated Mirror Node for real-time, queryable access to the immutable transaction log. Contracts are built with OpenZeppelin standards.
Security Audit & Penetration Testing
Every component undergoes rigorous internal review and third-party smart contract auditing. We simulate attack vectors on the payment flow and HCS integration to ensure data integrity and system resilience before launch.
Staging Deployment & Load Testing
We deploy the full system to a staging environment mirroring Hedera Testnet/Mainnet. We conduct high-volume load testing to validate performance under peak transaction loads and finalize the immutable audit trail format.
Production Rollout & Monitoring
We manage the phased production rollout on Hedera Mainnet, including HCS topic configuration and validator node setup. We implement 24/7 monitoring dashboards for consensus finality, topic activity, and system health.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
We deliver complete technical documentation, operational runbooks, and admin training. This ensures your team can fully own, query, and maintain the auditable ledger system long-term.
