Cosmos SDK Chain DevOps

Infrastructure management for Cosmos SDK-based appchains and zones, including IBC relayer configuration, validator set orchestration, and custom module support for interoperable wallet ecosystems.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering audit-ready code in 2-4 weeks.

We write contracts that handle real value, so security is non-negotiable. Every line follows OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes rigorous internal review.

  • Token Systems: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts 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.
