We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your protocol's core logic. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin and comprehensive audit workflows to mitigate risk before mainnet deployment.
Privacy-First Social Graph Protocol Consulting
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, upgradeable proxy patterns, and cross-chain functionality.
We deliver audit-ready code in 2-4 weeks, with documented gas optimization and a clear path to production.
Our Privacy-First Development Capabilities
We build social graph protocols with privacy-by-design, ensuring user sovereignty and regulatory readiness from the first line of code.
Zero-Knowledge Identity & Reputation
Implement ZK-SNARKs and zk-STARKs for verifiable credentials. Users prove reputation or membership without exposing personal data, enabling compliant KYC/AML workflows.
Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC)
Deploy MPC protocols for private social graph analytics. Enable collaborative data insights—like trend analysis or community detection—without any single party accessing raw user data.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) Integration
Build with FHE libraries (e.g., Zama's fhEVM) to compute directly on encrypted data. Support private feeds, encrypted DMs, and confidential content ranking.
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) & Verifiable Credentials
Architect W3C-compliant DID systems with selective disclosure. Users own and port their social graph across platforms, reducing vendor lock-in and enhancing interoperability.
Private Smart Contract Development
Develop and audit confidential smart contracts using Aztec, Aleo, or Secret Network. Execute business logic with encrypted inputs/outputs, protecting user interactions and transaction details.
Data Minimization & On-Chain Privacy
Design data flows that minimize exposure. Implement stealth addresses, confidential transactions, and storage solutions like IPFS with client-side encryption to limit data footprint.
Business Outcomes of a Sovereign Social Graph
We architect and implement privacy-first social graph protocols that deliver measurable business value, from user acquisition to sustainable monetization.
Reduced User Acquisition Cost
Leverage portable, user-owned social data to enable viral growth loops and organic discovery, bypassing expensive platform-specific ad networks.
Enhanced User Trust & Retention
Build on verifiable, user-controlled identity and data. Transparent privacy controls lead to higher engagement and long-term platform loyalty.
New Monetization Channels
Unlock revenue from data licensing, premium API access for developers, and micro-transactions within social interactions, all governed by user consent.
Faster Feature Development
Integrate pre-verified social primitives—follow graphs, reputations, content feeds—to ship social features in weeks, not months.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Design with GDPR/CCPA principles from day one. Sovereign data models simplify compliance by shifting data custody and consent management to the user.
Protocol-Level Network Effects
Grow an interoperable ecosystem. Value accrues to your protocol as it becomes the foundational social layer for multiple applications.
Build vs. Buy: Implementing Privacy-First Social Features
A detailed comparison of the total cost, risk, and time commitment for developing a privacy-first social graph protocol in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's specialized consulting and development services.

Core Protocol Expertise | Requires hiring/ramp-up | Immediate, battle-tested |
Zero-Knowledge Circuit Design | High-risk, complex R&D | Pre-audited, modular templates |
On-Chain/Off-Chain Architecture | Trial and error | Proven reference architecture |
Smart Contract Security | Unaudited, high vulnerability | Formally verified & audited |
Ongoing Protocol Maintenance | Full dedicated team | Optional SLA from $30K/year |
Compliance & Data Sovereignty | Your legal liability | Built-in compliance frameworks |
Integration with Existing Stack | Custom, unpredictable | Standardized APIs & SDKs |
Total Year 1 Cost (Est.) | $400K - $800K+ | $100K - $250K |
Our Structured Engagement Process
A transparent, milestone-driven framework designed for technical leaders. We deliver clear deliverables, fixed timelines, and predictable costs for your social graph protocol development.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a deep technical workshop to define your protocol's data model, privacy requirements, and consensus mechanisms. Deliverables include a technical specification and a high-level system architecture diagram.
Zero-Knowledge Circuit Development
Our cryptography engineers design and implement custom ZK-SNARK/STARK circuits for private social attestations and relationship proofs, ensuring verifiability without data exposure.
On-Chain Protocol Implementation
We build the core smart contracts for your social graph—managing identity, attestations, and reputation—using Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin security patterns and gas optimization.
Security Audit & Deployment
Every protocol undergoes rigorous internal review followed by an optional external audit with partners like Spearbit or Code4rena. We manage the full deployment pipeline to your chosen L1/L2.
