Cross-Chain Payment Router Development
Custom Blockchain Development
Build secure, scalable blockchain networks tailored to your specific business logic and performance requirements.
We don't just build a chain; we build your competitive infrastructure.
- Core Protocol: Design and implement custom transaction logic, fee models, and validator incentives.
- Interoperability: Native bridges and IBC integration for cross-chain asset and data flow.
- Node Infrastructure: Full validator set deployment with 99.9% uptime SLA and monitoring dashboards.
- Security First: Every chain undergoes formal verification and audit by our in-house
Rust/Goexperts before mainnet launch.
Core Capabilities of Our Payment Router
We build cross-chain payment routers that deliver measurable business outcomes: faster settlement, lower costs, and seamless user experiences. Our solutions are engineered for reliability at scale.
Business Outcomes You Can Measure
Our cross-chain payment router development delivers quantifiable improvements to your payment infrastructure, from cost savings to user growth. Here's what you can expect.
Reduced Transaction Costs
Dynamically route payments across 15+ chains to find the most cost-effective path, slashing gas fees by up to 60% compared to single-chain solutions.
Faster Settlement Times
Achieve near-instant finality for cross-border payments by leveraging high-throughput L2s and optimized bridging protocols, eliminating traditional delays.
Enhanced User Growth & Retention
A seamless, multi-chain payment experience reduces friction, leading to higher conversion rates and increased user retention for your platform.
Operational Resilience & Uptime
Built with redundant, decentralized infrastructure and automated failover, ensuring your payment rails maintain 24/7 availability under high load.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Leverage our pre-audited router modules and integration SDKs to deploy a production-ready cross-chain payment system in weeks, not months.

Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, four-phase approach to deliver a secure, scalable, and production-ready cross-chain payment router. We focus on rapid integration and measurable outcomes.
Architecture & Strategy
We design a custom router architecture tailored to your target chains (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and liquidity needs. This includes selecting optimal bridging protocols (CCIP, Axelar, Wormhole) and defining security models.
Smart Contract Development
Our engineers build and audit the core router logic in Solidity/Vyper. We implement secure fund custody, slippage controls, and fail-safe mechanisms using OpenZeppelin libraries and industry-standard patterns.
Relayer & Oracle Integration
We deploy and configure high-availability relayers for message passing and integrate with decentralized oracles (Chainlink) for secure, real-time price feeds and settlement verification across networks.
Testing & Deployment
Comprehensive testing suite including unit tests, integration tests on testnets, and a final security audit. We manage the mainnet deployment and provide ongoing monitoring dashboards.
Build a Custom Router vs. Using a Single Bridge SDK
Choosing the right cross-chain infrastructure impacts your product's capabilities, security, and long-term costs. This comparison helps technical leaders evaluate the trade-offs between a custom-built solution and a limited SDK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on development timelines, security, costs, and support for your cross-chain payment solution.
We deliver a production-ready cross-chain payment router in 4-8 weeks, depending on the number of target chains and required features. A basic router connecting 2-3 EVM chains with standard bridging logic takes ~4 weeks. Complex deployments with 5+ chains, custom liquidity management, or non-EVM support extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint-by-sprint roadmap during the initial discovery phase.
