CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andERC-4626vaults. - DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending pools, staking mechanisms, and yield aggregators.
- Governance Systems: DAO frameworks with proposal, voting, and treasury management modules.
- Delivery: Full test suite, deployment scripts, and technical documentation included.
We don't just write code; we deliver audit-ready contracts that reduce your time-to-market and mitigate critical financial risk.
Our engineers specialize in Solidity 0.8+ and Vyper, leveraging battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin. We follow a three-phase security review (internal audit, automated analysis, external audit prep) to ensure your contracts are ready for millions in TVL.

Strategic Infrastructure Decision
Build a Parachain vs. Using Generic Smart Contracts
A technical and operational comparison for FinTechs and enterprises deciding between a custom Polkadot parachain and deploying on a generic smart contract platform for a payroll application.
| Key Factor | Generic Smart Contracts (e.g., EVM) | Custom Polkadot Parachain (Chainscore Build) |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production MVP | 2-4 weeks | 8-12 weeks |
Transaction Throughput & Finality | Limited by host chain (e.g., 15-50 TPS, 12+ sec) | Sovereign chain control (1,000+ TPS, <6 sec finality) |
Custom Consensus & Governance | Not possible. Inherits host chain rules. | Full control (e.g., Nominated Proof-of-Stake for validators). |
Native Token & Fee Economics | Must use host chain gas token (ETH, MATIC). | Define your own token for fees, staking, and rewards. |
Interoperability (XCM) | Limited to bridges; higher risk & latency. | Native, secure cross-chain messaging via Polkadot Relay Chain. |
Regulatory Compliance Logic | Hard-coded into contracts; difficult to upgrade. | Built into runtime; can be upgraded via governance without forks. |
Upfront Development Cost | $50K - $150K (contracts + audit) | $200K - $500K (parachain build + audit + auction bond) |
Ongoing Operational Cost | Recurring gas fees + infrastructure (~$10K/month) | Collator infrastructure + Relay Chain slot lease (~$5K-$15K/month) |
Team Expertise Required | Solidity/Rust devs, DevOps for node management. | Substrate/Rust experts, blockchain infrastructure specialists. |
Long-term Flexibility & Sovereignty | Locked into host chain's roadmap and limitations. | Complete control over runtime upgrades and feature roadmap. |
Technical & Commercial Insights
Payroll Parachain Development: Key Questions
Answers to the most common questions CTOs and founders ask when evaluating a custom Polkadot payroll parachain build.
A standard payroll parachain MVP with core features (multi-asset payroll, role-based access, basic reporting) is typically delivered in 4-6 weeks for a fixed price starting at $45,000. Complex deployments with advanced compliance modules, multi-chain integrations, or custom tokenomics can extend to 12+ weeks and are quoted based on specific requirements. We provide detailed project breakdowns and milestones upfront.
