Core Capabilities of Our Move Governance Modules
Our modules are production-ready, built on battle-tested Move patterns to deliver secure, scalable, and upgradeable governance for Aptos and Sui networks.
On-Chain Proposal & Voting Engine
Implement secure, gas-efficient voting with support for weighted, token-based, and delegated models. Includes time-locks, quorum thresholds, and vote delegation mechanisms.
Treasury & Multi-Sig Management
Secure, programmable treasury modules with configurable multi-signature approval flows. Supports scheduled payments, budget caps, and on-chain fund allocation tracking.
Modular Upgrade Framework
Future-proof your protocol with a secure, permissioned upgrade system. Enables seamless, non-breaking updates to governance logic and parameters via on-chain proposals.
Security-First Architecture
Built with formal verification principles, leveraging Move's inherent safety. Modules undergo rigorous internal review and are designed for third-party audit readiness.
Cross-Protocol Integration
Designed for interoperability. Our modules easily connect with existing DeFi primitives, oracles, and identity systems on Aptos and Sui ecosystems.
Production Deployment & Support
We handle end-to-end deployment, including testnet validation, mainnet launch, and ongoing monitoring. Includes documentation and developer onboarding.
Business Outcomes for Your DAO
Our Move-based governance development delivers measurable results, from accelerated deployment to provable security. We focus on outcomes that directly impact your DAO's efficiency and trust.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Deploy a fully functional, custom governance module in under 4 weeks. We provide a production-ready framework with integrated voting, treasury management, and proposal systems, allowing your DAO to launch and iterate faster.
Provably Secure Architecture
Every module is built with Move's inherent safety features and undergoes a formal security audit. We guarantee zero critical vulnerabilities at launch, backed by our audit partners and a 30-day post-deployment support window.
Gas-Optimized Treasury Operations
Reduce operational costs with Move's efficient execution. Our modules are benchmarked for up to 40% lower gas costs for treasury transfers and multi-signature approvals compared to equivalent Solidity implementations.
Seamless Aptos/Sui Integration
Get a governance system natively built for your chosen Move chain. We ensure full compatibility with Aptos Framework or Sui Move standards, including seamless integration with native staking, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems.
Build vs. Buy: Custom Move Module vs. Generic EVM Fork
A technical and commercial comparison for teams deciding between developing a custom governance module on Move or forking an existing EVM solution.
| Key Factor | Build Custom Move Module In-House | Fork Generic EVM Contract | Chainscore Move Governance Module |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 4-6 months | 2-3 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $50K - $100K | $75K - $150K |
Security Posture | High risk (requires full audit) | Medium risk (inherits fork's vulnerabilities) | Low risk (pre-audited, battle-tested patterns) |
Chain-Native Optimization | Maximum (designed for Aptos/Sui) | Minimal (EVM paradigm mismatch) | High (optimized for Move VM & on-chain storage) |
Gas Efficiency & Performance | Potentially optimal | Suboptimal for Move chains | Optimized for Move execution & storage |
Upgradeability & Maintenance | Your team's ongoing burden | Limited by forked codebase | Managed service with optional SLA |
Feature Customization | Complete control | Constrained by EVM logic | Tailored to your tokenomics & DAO rules |
Long-Term Total Cost (Year 1) | $300K+ | $100K - $200K | $100K - $180K (all-inclusive) |
Team Expertise Required | Deep Move/Aptos/Sui proficiency | Solidity/EVM proficiency | Minimal (we handle the Move complexity) |
Time-to-Value for Users | Slow (lengthy dev cycle) | Medium (faster deploy, worse UX) | Fast (rapid deploy, superior UX) |
Our Development & Audit Methodology
We deliver secure, production-ready Move governance modules through a rigorous, multi-stage process designed for enterprise-grade reliability and rapid deployment.
Architecture & Specification
We begin with a formal specification of your governance logic, including proposal types, voting mechanisms, and upgrade paths. This phase ensures alignment with your tokenomics and reduces development rework.
Move Module Development
Implementation in Move, leveraging Aptos or Sui frameworks. We focus on resource-oriented design, gas efficiency, and adherence to the Move Prover for formal verification of critical invariants.
Comprehensive Security Audit
Every module undergoes a multi-layered audit: automated analysis, manual code review by senior engineers, and threat modeling specific to governance attacks (e.g., proposal hijacking, vote manipulation).
Testnet Deployment & Simulation
We deploy to a testnet and execute a full governance lifecycle simulation. This includes stress testing under high transaction load and simulating malicious actor scenarios to validate security and resilience.
Mainnet Launch Support
We manage the deployment process, including module publishing, initial configuration, and guardian key setup. We provide post-launch monitoring and are on-call for the first 72 hours to ensure a smooth launch.
Documentation & Handoff
You receive comprehensive technical documentation, admin guides, and integration examples. We conduct a knowledge transfer session with your engineering team for full operational ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions on Move Governance
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for developing a custom governance module with Move.
A standard governance module with core features (proposal creation, voting, execution) typically takes 3-5 weeks from spec to testnet deployment. Complex integrations (e.g., multi-chain execution, quadratic voting) can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial discovery phase.
