Cosmos SDK Chain DevOps
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We write contracts that handle real value, so security is non-negotiable. Every line follows
OpenZeppelinstandards and undergoes rigorous internal review.
- Token Systems: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155contracts with minting, vesting, and governance modules. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), liquidity pools, staking, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, asset tokenization platforms, and compliant KYC/AML gateways.
- Full Audit Support: We prepare your code for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
Core DevOps Capabilities
Our battle-tested DevOps framework for Cosmos SDK chains delivers the operational excellence required for high-value applications. We manage the complexity so you can focus on building.
Automated Chain Deployment
Spin up a fully configured, production-grade Cosmos SDK chain in under 48 hours. We automate genesis creation, validator onboarding, and initial IBC connections.
High-Availability Validator Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade validator nodes with geographic redundancy, DDoS protection, and hardware security modules (HSM). Guaranteed 99.9% uptime SLA for consensus participation.
Continuous Integration & Delivery
End-to-end CI/CD pipeline for chain upgrades, smart contracts, and relayer configurations. Includes automated testing, security scanning, and zero-downtime deployments.
Comprehensive Monitoring & Alerting
Real-time dashboards for block production, validator health, IBC packet flow, and gas economics. Proactive alerts for slashing risks and performance degradation.
IBC Relayer Orchestration
Managed, fault-tolerant IBC relayer services for seamless cross-chain communication. We handle channel lifecycle, packet monitoring, and fee management.
Disaster Recovery & Security
Automated snapshotting, state-sync configurations, and incident response playbooks. Infrastructure built with CIS benchmarks and regular security audits.
Business Outcomes for Your Chain
We deliver the operational backbone that allows your Cosmos SDK chain to scale securely and reliably, freeing your team to focus on core protocol development.
Zero-Downtime Upgrades
Automated, coordinated chain upgrades with zero validator downtime. We manage the entire upgrade lifecycle from governance proposal to mainnet deployment, ensuring protocol continuity.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Monitoring
24/7 security monitoring with real-time alerts for slashing risks, governance proposals, and peer connectivity. Includes DDoS protection and infrastructure hardening to IBC relay standards.
Multi-Cloud Resilience
Fault-tolerant validator and RPC node deployment across AWS, GCP, and bare-metal providers. Eliminates single points of failure and ensures geographic redundancy for global users.
Cost-Optimized Infrastructure
Automated resource scaling and reserved instance management to reduce operational costs by 30-50% compared to manual setups, with detailed spend analytics.
Developer Velocity
Self-service tooling for your team: automated testnet deployments, CI/CD pipelines for CosmWasm contracts, and instant RPC/API endpoints to accelerate development cycles.
IBC & Cross-Chain Reliability
Managed IBC relayer infrastructure with guaranteed packet finality. We maintain relayers for major Cosmos hubs and custom channels, ensuring seamless interchain communication.
Managed DevOps vs. In-House Build
A detailed comparison of the operational overhead, risk, and total cost between managing your own Cosmos SDK infrastructure versus partnering with Chainscore's expert team.
| Operational Factor | Build In-House Team | Chainscore Managed DevOps |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production-Ready Node | 8-16 weeks | 2-4 weeks |
Initial Setup Cost (Engineering) | $120K - $250K | $25K - $75K |
Annual DevOps Salary Overhead | $200K+ | Included |
Security & Audit Responsibility | Your team (High Risk) | Our team (Audited & Insured) |
Uptime & Performance SLA | Self-managed (Variable) | 99.9% Guaranteed |
Chain Upgrades & Hard Forks | Manual, High Downtime Risk | Automated, Zero-Downtime |
24/7 Incident Response | On-call rotation required | Included with <1h P1 SLA |
Total Cost (First Year) | $320K - $450K+ | $75K - $150K |
Team Focus | Infrastructure Maintenance | Core Product Development |
Our Operational Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to deploying and managing production-grade Cosmos SDK chains, designed for reliability and rapid iteration.
Architecture & Infrastructure Design
We provision and configure secure, multi-region infrastructure using Terraform and Kubernetes. Includes automated failover, load balancing, and VPC isolation for enterprise-grade resilience.
Chain Node Deployment & Orchestration
Automated deployment of validator, sentry, and RPC nodes using Ansible and Docker. We implement IBC relayer setup, state-sync configuration, and peer optimization for optimal network performance.
Continuous Integration & Delivery
End-to-end CI/CD pipeline for your Cosmos SDK chain. Automated builds, unit/integration testing, and canary deployments with rollback capabilities to ensure zero-downtime upgrades.
Monitoring, Alerting & Observability
Comprehensive monitoring stack with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki. Real-time dashboards for TPS, block latency, validator health, and custom metrics with PagerDuty/Slack alerting.
Security & Governance Automation
Implement automated security patching, secret management with HashiCorp Vault, and governance tooling for proposal lifecycle management. Includes regular security posture reviews.
Disaster Recovery & Incident Management
Proven runbooks for chain halts, consensus failures, and network attacks. We establish automated snapshot/backup systems and conduct regular failure simulation drills.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and follows formal verification principles to mitigate risk.
- Custom Logic: Tailored
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke contract suites. - Security First: Multi-stage audits with
Slither/MythXand manual review. - Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient bytecode.
