Cross-Chain Institutional Settlement Security

We design and audit secure, compliant bridge architectures for institutional settlements, incorporating multi-party computation (MPC), regulatory controls, and high-assurance custody.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
FULL-STACK INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Blockchain Development

Build secure, high-performance blockchain networks and protocols from the ground up.

We architect and deploy custom L1/L2 solutions tailored to your specific transaction volume, governance, and economic model. Our full-cycle development delivers production-ready networks with sub-2-second finality and < $0.001 average transaction costs.

  • Protocol Design: Custom consensus (PoS, PoA), tokenomics, and governance frameworks.
  • Core Development: Rust/Go-based node clients, EVM/SVM compatibility layers, and cross-chain bridges.
  • DevOps & Tooling: Automated deployment, block explorers, indexers, and monitoring dashboards.
  • Security First: Formal verification, audit readiness, and penetration testing from day one.

Go beyond forking a template. We build the foundational infrastructure that scales with your ecosystem, ensuring 99.9% uptime SLAs and seamless validator onboarding.

Our Security-First Delivery Methodology

Every cross-chain settlement system we build is delivered through a rigorous, multi-layered process designed to meet institutional security and compliance standards from day one.

01

Architecture & Threat Modeling

We begin with a formal threat model, identifying attack vectors specific to your cross-chain flows. This includes designing for key management, relay security, and Byzantine fault tolerance.
