We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a production-ready MVP in 2-3 weeks.
Slashing Protection Service
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your token, DeFi, or NFT project.
We don't just write code; we engineer systems that are secure by design, gas-optimized, and ready to scale.
- Security-First Development: Code built with
Solidity 0.8+orRust, followingOpenZeppelinpatterns and undergoing rigorous internal audits before deployment. - Full-Spectrum Solutions: From standard
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155tokens to complex DeFi primitives like AMMs, lending pools, and staking contracts. - Post-Deployment Support: Includes verification on block explorers, comprehensive documentation, and integration support for your front-end.
Core Protection & Monitoring Capabilities
Our slashing protection service is built on battle-tested infrastructure, delivering proactive defense and real-time visibility to secure your validator operations and maximize rewards.
Real-Time Slashing Detection
Continuous monitoring of validator signatures across all supported networks. Our system flags double-signing and surround-voting risks before they result in penalties, giving you a critical window to intervene.
Multi-Client & Multi-Network Support
Seamlessly protect validators running on Prysm, Lighthouse, Teku, and Nimbus. We provide unified protection across Ethereum Mainnet, Holesky, and other EVM-compatible chains from a single dashboard.
Automated Attestation Safeguards
Intelligent algorithms prevent validators from publishing conflicting attestations by enforcing strict rules on source and target epochs, eliminating the primary cause of slashing events.
High-Availability Infrastructure
Deployed across geographically distributed nodes with automatic failover. Our service maintains 99.9% uptime SLA, ensuring your protection layer is always active when your validators are live.
Business Outcomes: Secure & Reliable Staking Operations
Our slashing protection service delivers measurable operational excellence for institutional validators and staking-as-a-service providers. These are the concrete outcomes you can expect.
Zero Slashing Incidents
Proactive monitoring and automated failover systems prevent double-signing and downtime penalties, protecting your entire stake and validator reputation.
>99.9% Validator Uptime
High-availability infrastructure with geo-redundant failover ensures your validators remain online and earning rewards, maximizing your staking yield.
Reduced Operational Overhead
Automate key management, monitoring, and alerting. Free your engineering team from manual node operations to focus on core product development.
Audit-Ready Compliance
Maintain a complete, immutable audit trail of all validator actions and system states. Simplify reporting for internal audits and institutional clients.
Multi-Client & Multi-Chain Resilience
Mitigate consensus client bugs and network-specific risks. Our service supports execution and consensus clients across Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM chains.
Predictable Cost Structure
Move from unpredictable slashing risks and emergency engineering costs to a fixed, scalable operational expense. Budget with confidence.
Build vs. Buy: Slashing Protection Infrastructure
A detailed comparison of the time, cost, and risk associated with developing slashing protection in-house versus leveraging Chainscore's managed service.
| Key Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|
Time to Initial Deployment | 6-9 months | 2-4 weeks |
Upfront Engineering Cost | $150K - $300K+ | $0 (OpEx model) |
Security Audit & Penetration Testing | Required ($50K - $100K) | Included (pre-audited system) |
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates | 1-2 FTEs ($200K+/year) | Fully managed by Chainscore |
Multi-Chain Support (e.g., Ethereum, Cosmos) | Per-chain development required | Unified API for 15+ chains |
High-Availability & Disaster Recovery | Your responsibility to build | 99.95% SLA with geo-redundancy |
Real-Time Alerting & Incident Response | Custom integration needed | Pre-built dashboard & PagerDuty/Slack alerts |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $400K - $600K+ | Starting at $60K/year |
Risk of Slashing Due to Implementation Flaws | High (untested, bespoke code) | Negligible (battle-tested, audited) |

Slashing Protection Service FAQs
Get clear, direct answers to the most common questions about our enterprise-grade slashing protection service for validators.
Our service operates as a high-availability, multi-region API that sits between your validator client and the beacon chain. It intercepts block proposals and attestations, checks them against a global database of recent signed messages, and prevents any that would cause a slashable offense. We maintain a real-time view of the network's consensus state, providing protection against double-signing, surround voting, and proposer conflicts with >99.99% uptime.
