IoT Payment Channel Network Setup

Design and deploy a custom off-chain payment channel network optimized for IoT ecosystems. Enable instant, high-volume micropayments with minimal on-chain footprint and cost.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contract systems built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that power your Web3 product. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a 2-4 week MVP for most projects. We specialize in:

  • DeFi Protocols: DEXs, lending/borrowing platforms, yield aggregators.
  • NFT Ecosystems: ERC-721A, ERC-1155 marketplaces with advanced minting logic.
  • Custom Business Logic: Tokenomics, governance (ERC-20), and specialized on-chain automation.

Every line of code is written with security as the first principle, utilizing battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin and following Solidity 0.8+ best practices.

Our delivery includes comprehensive unit and integration testing, Gas optimization reports, and a clear path to a formal security audit. We don't just write contracts; we deliver the complete, deployable system your engineering team needs to succeed.

PREDICTABLE, TRANSPARENT DELIVERY

Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Go-Live

A structured, milestone-driven approach that de-risks your IoT payment network deployment. We provide clear deliverables, timelines, and communication at every phase to ensure your project launches on time and on budget.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Design

We define the technical blueprint for your IoT payment channel network, including protocol selection (e.g., state channels, rollups), tokenomics, and security architecture. This phase establishes the foundation for scalability and compliance.

2-3 weeks
Typical Duration

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, costs, security, and support for your IoT payment infrastructure project.

A standard deployment for a production-ready network takes 3-6 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery and architecture phase, 2-4 weeks of core development and integration, and a final week for security testing and deployment. Complex integrations with existing ERP or IoT platforms may extend this timeline, which we scope and quote for upfront.
