Smart Contract Upgrade Risk Assessor

AI-driven security and dependency analysis for governance proposals involving smart contract upgrades. We identify vulnerabilities, economic impacts, and unintended consequences before execution.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
RELIABLE FOUNDATION

Blockchain Infrastructure for FinTechs

Enterprise-grade node infrastructure and APIs to power your financial applications.

We provide dedicated, high-performance nodes for Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and other major chains. Our infrastructure delivers 99.9% uptime SLAs, sub-second RPC response times, and enterprise-grade security to ensure your trading, lending, or payment platform never misses a block.

  • Managed RPC/API Endpoints: Instant access to load-balanced, geo-distributed endpoints.
  • Enhanced APIs: Historical data, gas estimation, and transaction simulation.
  • Real-time Monitoring: Dashboards and alerts for node health and performance metrics.
  • Compliance & Security: SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure with private VPC deployment options.

Deploy production-ready infrastructure in days, not months. We handle the complexity so your team can focus on building core product features.

TRANSPARENT PROCESS

How Our AI Risk Assessor Works

Our systematic, AI-powered analysis provides CTOs and lead developers with a clear, actionable risk profile for any smart contract upgrade, from simple parameter changes to complex proxy migrations.

01

Comprehensive Code & State Analysis

We ingest your upgrade proposal, including the new bytecode, storage layout, and initialization logic. Our AI models perform a differential analysis against the live contract, identifying critical changes to storage slots, function selectors, and access control patterns that could break integrations or cause data loss.

Function Selector Checks
02

Vulnerability & Logic Simulation

The system simulates upgrade execution across thousands of historical and edge-case transaction scenarios. It detects logic flaws, reentrancy risks, and gas limit issues specific to upgrade paths, providing a risk score for each vulnerability category (Critical, High, Medium).

03

Dependency & Integration Mapping

We automatically map all external dependencies—oracles, other contracts, and front-end integrations—that interact with your protocol. The assessor evaluates how the proposed changes will impact these integrations, flagging potential breaking changes for your development and partner teams.

PROACTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT

Govern with Confidence, Deploy with Certainty

Our Smart Contract Upgrade Risk Assessor provides the technical due diligence and automated safeguards required for secure, compliant, and predictable protocol evolution.

01

Comprehensive Upgrade Simulation

We execute your upgrade in a forked mainnet environment, simulating real-world conditions to identify edge cases, gas cost spikes, and unintended interactions before deployment.

The Modern Standard for Secure Upgrades

Manual Review vs. AI-Powered Risk Assessment

Traditional manual audits are slow and prone to human error. Our AI-powered assessor provides comprehensive, consistent, and rapid analysis to secure your protocol's evolution.

Technical Due Diligence

Smart Contract Upgrade Risk Assessment FAQs

Get clear answers on our methodology, timeline, and deliverables for assessing the security and reliability of your smart contract upgrades.

Our assessment follows a structured, three-phase methodology: Discovery & Architecture Review, Automated & Manual Code Analysis, and Governance & Process Audit. We analyze the upgrade's logic, storage layout, inheritance, and proxy patterns against known vulnerabilities. Every review is benchmarked against our proprietary risk matrix, which scores threats across 12 categories including reentrancy, access control, and economic logic.
