We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our contracts are built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and undergo rigorous security audits before mainnet deployment.
Institutional Cross-Chain Settlement Hub Development
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.
From concept to mainnet in as little as 2-4 weeks with a battle-tested development lifecycle.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom multi-token economies. - DeFi Logic: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, yield aggregators, and lending protocols.
- Security First: Formal verification, unit/integration testing, and third-party audit preparation.
Core Architecture & Capabilities
Our settlement hub is built on battle-tested, modular components designed for security, interoperability, and high-volume throughput. We deliver the foundational infrastructure your institution needs to operate with confidence.
Business Outcomes for Your Institution
Our institutional cross-chain settlement hub delivers measurable improvements in operational efficiency, risk management, and capital deployment. Built for regulated entities requiring enterprise-grade security and reliability.
Sub-Second Settlement Finality
Achieve atomic cross-chain settlements in under 1 second, reducing counterparty risk and unlocking capital efficiency. Our hub leverages zero-knowledge proofs and optimistic messaging for verifiable finality.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Deploy with confidence using infrastructure audited by Halborn and CertiK. Features include MPC-based key management, real-time AML screening, and comprehensive transaction monitoring for regulatory reporting.
Multi-Chain Liquidity Access
Connect seamlessly to 15+ major L1/L2 networks (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.) through a single API. Aggregate liquidity without managing individual chain integrations.
Operational Cost Reduction
Eliminate manual reconciliation and intermediary fees. Automated settlement workflows reduce operational overhead by up to 70% compared to traditional correspondent banking models.
Faster Time-to-Market
Go live in weeks, not months. Our modular hub architecture allows for rapid customization and integration with existing treasury management and core banking systems.
Institutional-Grade SLAs
Guaranteed 99.95% uptime with financial penalties for non-performance. Includes dedicated infrastructure, 24/7 technical account management, and disaster recovery with < 5 minute RTO.

Our Delivery Methodology
A structured, security-first approach to delivering production-grade cross-chain infrastructure. We combine deep protocol expertise with enterprise-grade project management to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery of your settlement hub.
Architecture & Protocol Design
We design a modular, multi-chain architecture tailored to your asset classes and compliance needs. This includes selecting optimal bridging protocols (e.g., LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole) and designing for finality, liquidity, and regulatory adherence.
Smart Contract Development & Audits
Development of secure, gas-optimized smart contracts for settlement, custody, and messaging. All core logic undergoes a mandatory multi-stage audit process with leading security firms before mainnet deployment.
Relayer & Oracle Integration
Deployment and configuration of high-availability relayers and decentralized oracle networks (e.g., Chainlink CCIP) to ensure secure, reliable, and timely cross-chain message passing and price feeds.
Staging & Mainnet Deployment
Comprehensive testing on testnets and staging environments, followed by a phased, monitored mainnet rollout. We provide full deployment scripts, monitoring dashboards, and incident response playbooks.
Build a Dedicated Hub vs. Using Public Networks
A technical and operational comparison for CTOs and engineering leads evaluating settlement infrastructure for institutional use cases.
| Critical Factor | Public Bridge/Network | Chainscore Dedicated Hub |
|---|---|---|
Time to Market | 6-12+ months for integration | 4-8 weeks for production deployment |
Upfront Development Cost | $250K - $750K+ | $50K - $150K (fixed-scope project) |
Security Posture | Shared risk pool, external audits only | Isolated environment, dedicated audits & formal verification |
Settlement Finality & Speed | Variable (2 min - 20 min) | Guaranteed sub-2 second finality |
Custom Business Logic | Not possible (public smart contracts) | Fully customizable (e.g., KYC/AML, fee models) |
Operational Control | None (dependent on public operators) | Full control over validators, upgrades, and governance |
Compliance & Reporting | Limited, manual reconciliation | Built-in, auditable transaction logs & regulatory modules |
Ongoing Maintenance | Your team (high DevOps overhead) | Managed service with optional 24/7 SLA |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $1M+ | $80K - $200K (predictable pricing) |
Institutional-Grade SLAs | Not available | 99.95% uptime, <4h incident response |
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common technical and commercial questions about building a secure, institutional-grade cross-chain settlement system.
A production-ready MVP for a single corridor (e.g., Ethereum to Arbitrum) typically deploys in 4-6 weeks. A full multi-chain hub supporting 3-5 major networks with custom governance takes 8-12 weeks. This includes architecture, smart contract development, integration with oracles/bridges, security audit coordination, and deployment. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones within the first week of engagement.
