ChainSafe
Open-source blockchain R&D firm offering protocol engineering, infrastructure and co-development
About
ChainSafe Systems Inc. is a multichain blockchain research and development firm that builds open-source, protocol-agnostic infrastructure and tools. Its work, as described on its website, spans node implementations, smart contract engineering, distributed systems research, blockchain applications, tooling and audits. It offers three lines of service to client teams. Protocol work covers strategy assessment, implementation specifications, cryptography and bridge integrations, and includes its own client projects: Lodestar, an Ethereum consensus client, Forest, a Rust implementation of Filecoin, Gossamer, a Go framework for Polkadot nodes, and a Rust OP-Supervisor for the OP Stack. Infrastructure services include RPC endpoints, staking, testnet operations, observability, rollup creation and storage. Co-development means working side by side with client teams from design to deployment on custom builds, and ChainSafe states that it builds custom dapps and smart contracts on Ethereum. It has a Canton Network practice, with an ERC-20 to CIP-56 middleware that bridges Ethereum assets to Canton and an AI assistant for Daml development. Its research and development team works on zero-knowledge proofs and cross-chain protocols.
