Secure, audited smart contracts built for production from day one.
We architect and deploy battle-tested smart contracts on EVM and Solana. Every line of code is written with security and gas efficiency as first principles, using Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries. Our development process includes:
Deliver a production-ready, audited contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks.
We manage the full lifecycle: from initial architecture and Hardhat/Foundry testing frameworks to deployment scripts and mainnet verification. Our contracts are built to handle high-volume DeFi transactions and complex NFT logic without compromising on security.
A systematic, security-first approach to migrating governance from a single chain to a multi-chain architecture, minimizing risk and ensuring continuity.
We perform a full audit of your existing governance contracts, token distribution, and proposal history to create a deterministic snapshot for the new multi-chain system. This ensures no voter power is lost or duplicated.
Deployment of audited, upgradeable governance modules (Governor, Timelock, Token) on each target chain (EVM & non-EVM), with secure cross-chain messaging (LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole) for proposal synchronization and execution.
Design and implementation of a secure, canonical token bridge or mint/burn mechanism to maintain a unified token supply across chains, with clear migration instructions and user safety guards.
We build seamless migration portals and updated frontends that guide existing token holders through the process, preserving their voting power and participation history without requiring technical expertise.
Post-launch support including multi-chain proposal monitoring, voter participation analytics, and emergency response procedures to ensure the new system operates as intended from day one.
Full technical documentation, operational runbooks, and administrator training for your team, ensuring you have complete ownership and understanding of the new multi-chain governance framework.
Move beyond the limitations of a single chain. Our battle-tested migration framework delivers secure, efficient, and future-proof multi-chain governance, reducing technical debt and accelerating your protocol's expansion.
Leverage our standardized, audited process for moving governance logic from L1 to L2s or across EVM chains. We ensure zero downtime for token holders and maintain full voting history integrity.
Implement robust, verifiable bridges or message layers (like Axelar, Wormhole, or Hyperlane) to keep treasury balances, proposal states, and voting power consistent across all deployed chains.
Deploy gas-efficient voting contracts on L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) and sidechains, reducing voter participation costs by up to 95% compared to mainnet, increasing engagement.
We integrate with or build a single interface for token holders to view proposals, delegate votes, and participate across all supported chains without managing multiple wallets or interfaces.
Every migration includes rigorous testing, formal verification of cross-chain logic, and audits from partners like Spearbit or Code4rena before mainnet deployment.
Our modular design allows seamless addition of new chains (EVM or non-EVM) without governance overhaul. We provide ongoing support for upgrades and new standard integrations.

Ongoing Maintenance Burden | Full internal team required | Optional SLA with 24/7 monitoring |
Risk of Protocol Forking / Inconsistency | High (manual implementations) | Eliminated (unified, version-controlled framework) |
Access to Latest Chain Upgrades | Manual research & integration | Automated, managed service |
Voter Experience (UI/UX) Unification | Custom project, extra 3-6 months | Pre-built, customizable dashboard included |
Total Year 1 Cost (Dev + Ops) | $400K - $1M+ | $120K - $300K |
We execute governance migrations with zero downtime using a battle-tested, four-phase framework. This minimizes risk, ensures continuity, and delivers a production-ready multi-chain system.
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing governance contracts and tokenomics to design a modular, cross-chain architecture. This includes selecting optimal L2s or appchains based on your security and performance requirements.
Our engineers build and rigorously test the new multi-chain governance suite. This includes cross-chain messaging (CCIP, LayerZero), upgraded voting modules, and treasury management contracts, all following OpenZeppelin standards.
We deploy the new system in a staged environment, running exhaustive simulations of governance proposals and cross-chain transactions on testnets. This phase validates security and user experience before mainnet launch.
We execute the final migration with a secure, user-guided process for token holders. Post-launch, we provide 24/7 monitoring of cross-chain bridges and governance activity, ensuring system stability.
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for migrating your governance from a single chain to a multi-chain architecture.
A standard migration from a single-chain DAO (e.g., Ethereum-only) to a multi-chain setup (e.g., Ethereum + Arbitrum + Polygon) takes 4-8 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design and smart contract development, 2-3 weeks for rigorous testing and security audits, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and on-chain governance activation. Complex migrations with custom cross-chain messaging or novel voting mechanisms may extend this timeline.
