We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your dApp. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits to mitigate risk before deployment.
Aptos & Sui Move Escrow Contract Design
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers for production.
Deliver production-ready contracts in 2-4 weeks, from initial spec to mainnet deployment.
- Protocol Development:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, custom governance, staking, and DeFi logic. - Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 15-40% through efficient code patterns.
- Full Audit Trail: Comprehensive documentation,
Hardhattest suites, and verification onEtherscan.
Core Escrow Contract Capabilities
Our Move-based escrow contracts are engineered for high-value transactions, providing the security, flexibility, and compliance required by institutional clients and high-growth startups.
Multi-Asset & Multi-Chain Support
Handle native tokens (APT, SUI), fungible assets, and NFTs within a single, audited contract. Future-proof your application for cross-chain interoperability.
Conditional Release Logic
Implement complex, automated release triggers based on time-locks, off-chain oracle data (Pyth, Switchboard), or multi-signature approvals for dispute resolution.
Formal Verification & Audits
Leverage Move's inherent safety with additional formal verification using the Move Prover. Contracts undergo third-party audits (e.g., OtterSec, Zellic) before deployment.
Upgradeable & Modular Design
Built with upgradeability patterns (governance-controlled or immutable) using Move's package publish model. Modular architecture allows for easy feature additions.
Gas Optimization & Cost Predictability
Engineered for minimal gas consumption using Move's bytecode efficiency. Transaction cost analysis provided for all major functions to ensure predictable operating expenses.
Compliance & Reporting Ready
Design includes built-in event emission for all state changes, enabling seamless integration with off-chain monitoring, reporting tools, and regulatory compliance systems.
Business Outcomes: Secure & Automated Settlements
Our Move escrow contract design for Aptos and Sui delivers production-ready infrastructure that eliminates manual processes and counterparty risk. We focus on measurable results for your business.
Non-Custodial Security
Funds remain in user-controlled accounts until automated release conditions are met. Built with formal verification patterns and OpenZeppelin's Move libraries to eliminate single points of failure.
Sub-Second Finality
Leverage Aptos Block-STM and Sui's parallel execution for instant settlement. Transactions finalize in under a second, enabling real-time commerce and high-frequency workflows.
Automated Dispute Resolution
Programmatic logic for time-locks, multi-sig releases, and oracle-based triggers. Reduces manual arbitration overhead and ensures predictable, tamper-proof outcomes.
Gas-Optimized Execution
Contracts are designed for minimal on-chain computation and storage, reducing transaction costs by up to 40% compared to naive implementations. Critical for high-volume settlement layers.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
Built-in event emission for immutable audit trails and integration hooks for KYC/AML providers. Facilitates regulatory reporting and enterprise adoption.
Rapid Deployment Framework
Leverage our library of pre-audited, modular Move modules. Go from specification to testnet in under 2 weeks, accelerating your time-to-market.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Escrow vs. Generic Solutions
Choosing the right escrow infrastructure impacts your security, time-to-market, and total cost of ownership. This comparison outlines the trade-offs between developing a custom solution in-house, using a generic open-source template, and partnering with Chainscore for a production-ready, secure system.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Generic Open-Source | Chainscore Custom Design |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 4-6 months | 2-3 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Security Posture | High Risk (unaudited) | Medium Risk (unmaintained) | Low Risk (pre-audited patterns) |
Move Language Expertise Required | Senior/Lead Level | Mid-Level | Provided by Chainscore |
Aptos & Sui Protocol Fit | Custom-built for fit | Generic, may require forks | Optimized for chain-specific features |
Multi-Sig & Governance Design | From scratch | Basic templates only | Custom logic for your DAO/team |
Smart Contract Audit Cost & Time | $30K-$80K + 8-12 weeks | Not included | Included in service package |
Ongoing Maintenance Burden | Full team responsibility | Your team manages forks/upgrades | Optional SLA with monitoring |
Total Year 1 Cost (Dev + Audit + Ops) | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K+ | $75K - $200K (all-inclusive) |
Guaranteed Uptime & Support | Your team's responsibility | Community support only | 99.9% SLA with 24/7 monitoring available |
Our Development & Audit Process
A proven, security-first workflow designed for high-assurance Move smart contracts. We deliver production-ready escrow logic with comprehensive audit coverage, ensuring your project launches with confidence.
Architecture & Specification
We begin with a formal specification document, mapping all escrow states, participant roles, and failure modes. This creates a single source of truth for developers and auditors, preventing scope creep.
Move Module Development
Implementation in Move, leveraging Aptos/Sui's resource model for inherent safety. We focus on gas-efficient patterns, upgradability via packages, and integration with your existing dApp frontend.
Internal Security Review
Before external audit, our team conducts a rigorous multi-stage review: static analysis, property-based testing with Move Unit Tests, and manual line-by-line inspection for logic flaws.
Deployment & Verification
We handle the on-chain deployment process, including package publishing, module initialization, and post-deploy verification on Aptos Explorer or Sui Explorer. We provide a deployment report.
Monitoring & Support
Post-launch, we offer monitoring dashboards for contract activity and provide ongoing support for upgrades or adjustments. We ensure your escrow system operates as designed in production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our process, security, and delivery for Aptos and Sui escrow smart contract development.
From requirements to mainnet deployment, a typical project takes 2-4 weeks. This includes a 1-week design and specification phase, 1-2 weeks of core development and unit testing, and a final week for security review, integration testing, and deployment. Complex multi-asset or cross-chain escrow systems may extend this timeline, which we define upfront.
