We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that form the unbreakable foundation for your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and rigorous internal audits before any third-party review.
Substrate Pallet for Custom Referral Logic
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.
- Custom Logic: Tailored
Solidity 0.8+/Vypercontracts for DEXs, lending protocols, NFT collections, and DAOs. - Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
- Proven Security: Every contract undergoes multiple audit stages; we have a 0 critical bug record in production.
Deliver a secure, gas-optimized, and future-proof contract suite in as little as 4 weeks, drastically reducing your technical risk and time-to-market.
Core Capabilities of Our Referral Pallets
Our Substrate pallets are production-ready, audited components that deliver measurable business outcomes: faster time-to-market, reduced development costs, and secure, scalable referral logic.
Business Outcomes: Why Native Beats Smart Contracts
Building referral logic directly into your blockchain's runtime via a Substrate pallet delivers superior performance, security, and scalability compared to smart contract-based solutions. Here's what that means for your business.
Zero Gas Fees for Users
Native runtime logic eliminates gas fees for referral interactions, removing a critical user adoption barrier and enabling seamless, cost-free participation in your incentive programs.
Sub-Second Transaction Finality
Pallet logic executes as part of block production, not asynchronously through a VM. This provides deterministic, near-instant referral tracking and reward distribution.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Auditability
Native code is part of the blockchain's consensus-critical runtime, subject to rigorous review and formal verification. It's inherently more secure and auditable than mutable smart contract code.
Unmatched Scalability & Throughput
Bypass EVM/SVM bottlenecks. A custom pallet handles thousands of referral transactions per block with minimal overhead, scaling linearly with your chain's capacity.
Full Custom Logic & Governance
Implement complex, multi-tiered referral structures, time-locked rewards, and custom on-chain governance for parameter updates—impossible or prohibitively expensive with smart contracts.
Reduced Long-Term Complexity & Cost
Eliminate the need for separate contract deployment, upgrade proxies, and complex migration scripts. Your referral system is a maintainable, versioned part of your core chain.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Pallet vs. Off-the-Shelf dApp
A detailed comparison of developing custom referral logic in-house versus partnering with Chainscore for a production-ready, secure Substrate pallet.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Buy with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $50K - $150K |
Security Posture | High Risk (unaudited, custom code) | Enterprise-Grade (audited, battle-tested patterns) |
Core Team Required | 3-5 Senior Rust/Substrate Devs | Your Product Team + Our Experts |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Your responsibility (1-2 FTE) | Optional SLA with 24/7 monitoring |
Integration Complexity | High (custom runtime, testing, tooling) | Low (modular pallet, documented APIs, support) |
Feature Flexibility | Total (but costly to change) | High (configurable logic, extensible hooks) |
Time to First Referral Payout |
| < 10 weeks |
Compliance & Audit Trail | You build it | Built-in, verifiable on-chain |
Our Development & Integration Process
A proven, transparent workflow designed to integrate custom referral logic into your Substrate-based chain with minimal disruption and maximum security.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We analyze your tokenomics and business rules to architect a custom pallet that aligns with your chain's consensus and economic model. This phase establishes clear technical specifications and integration points.
Secure Pallet Development
Our Rust engineers build your referral logic using Substrate's FRAME, implementing features like multi-level rewards, vesting schedules, and on-chain governance hooks. All code follows Parity's best practices.
Comprehensive Testing Suite
We deploy a dedicated testnet to validate pallet logic, edge cases, and integration. This includes unit tests, integration tests with your runtime, and load testing to simulate real-user referral activity.
Audit & Security Review
Every pallet undergoes an internal security audit focusing on economic safety, reentrancy, and privilege escalation. We provide a detailed report and remediate all critical/high issues before deployment.
Runtime Integration & Upgrade
We provide a seamless integration package and guide your team through the runtime upgrade process. This includes migration scripts for existing state and a rollback plan for safety.
Post-Launch Monitoring & Support
We monitor pallet performance and on-chain metrics for 30 days post-deployment, offering support for any tuning or parameter adjustments needed based on live network behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for building custom referral logic on Substrate.
A standard referral pallet with core features (on-chain tracking, multi-tier rewards, admin controls) typically deploys in 3-4 weeks. Complex integrations with existing parachains, custom tokenomics, or advanced governance features can extend the timeline to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed sprint plan within the first week of engagement.
