overview
CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from token systems to complex DeFi logic.
- Custom Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke tokenomics with vesting, staking, and governance modules. - DeFi & dApp Logic: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending protocols, yield aggregators, and multi-signature wallets.
- Enterprise Integration: Oracles for real-world data, cross-chain bridges, and secure upgrade patterns using
OpenZeppelinlibraries.
We deliver a fully tested, documented, and deployable contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for mainnet deployments.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE SECURITY
Core Components of Our Protection Stack
Our multi-layered slashing protection architecture is engineered for institutional validators, combining real-time monitoring, automated failovers, and cryptographic security to eliminate downtime and financial penalties.
01
Real-Time Attestation & Block Proposal Monitoring
Continuous surveillance of your validator's duties across all supported networks. Our system detects missed attestations or proposals within < 2 seconds, triggering immediate corrective actions to prevent slashing events before they occur.

Duty Coverage
02
Automated Failover & Redundant Signer Infrastructure
Seamless, zero-downtime switch to geographically distributed backup signers during primary node failure. Eliminates single points of failure with hot-warm standby configurations validated for Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
< 5 sec

3x
Redundancy
03
Double-Signing & Surround Vote Prevention
Cryptographically enforced protection against the most severe slashing causes. Our centralized signing coordinator uses Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus to guarantee a validator key never signs two conflicting messages.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that are secure by design and cost-efficient to execute. Our team specializes in Solidity and Rust, implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and conducting rigorous internal audits before deployment.
- Custom Tokenomics: Design and implement
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155tokens with tailored minting, staking, and governance logic. - DeFi & NFT Protocols: Build automated market makers (AMMs), lending pools, yield aggregators, and dynamic NFT collections.
- Security First: Every contract undergoes static analysis, formal verification, and a multi-stage review process to mitigate risks.
Deliver a fully audited, mainnet-ready contract suite in as little as 4 weeks, with documented code and a clear upgrade path for future iterations.
Technical & Commercial Details
Frequently Asked Questions on Slashing Protection
Get clear, direct answers on how Chainscore Labs secures your validator infrastructure against slashing penalties and downtime.
Our service is a multi-layered defense system. We deploy proprietary monitoring agents on your validator nodes that analyze consensus behavior, block proposal patterns, and network conditions in real-time. Using machine learning models trained on historical slashing events, we detect anomalies that precede penalties—such as double-signing risks or attestation timing drift—and can automatically execute pre-configured mitigation actions or alert your team. We provide a unified dashboard for all your validators across Ethereum, Solana, and other major PoS chains.
