overview
FOUNDATION

Blockchain Infrastructure Development

Enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure built for scale, security, and speed.

We architect and deploy the foundational layer for your Web3 product, ensuring 99.9% uptime SLAs and sub-2-second finality. Our infrastructure eliminates the operational overhead of managing nodes, RPC endpoints, and indexers.

Focus on your product's logic while we guarantee the network's reliability and performance.

  • Full-Stack Node Operations: Dedicated EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana validator nodes with 24/7 monitoring.
  • High-Performance RPC: Private, load-balanced endpoints with <100ms latency and rate-limit protection.
  • Data Indexing: Custom Graph protocols or Subsquid setups for real-time, queryable on-chain data.
  • Security & Compliance: Infrastructure deployed with enterprise-grade security, SOC 2 principles, and multi-region redundancy.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Migration Service Framework

A structured, four-phase approach to ensure your Sub-DAO migration is secure, compliant, and executed with zero downtime. We manage the entire lifecycle from initial assessment to post-migration support.

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing DAO structure, governance rules, and tokenomics. Our team designs a target architecture on the new protocol (e.g., OpenZeppelin Governor, Compound Governor Bravo) with clear upgrade paths and security considerations.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Development

Our engineers write, test, and optimize the new migration contracts. This includes custom logic for state migration, vote snapshotting, and permission handling. All code follows OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes rigorous unit and integration testing.

Phase 3: Security & Dry-Run

The core migration contract suite undergoes a formal security audit, either by our in-house experts or a partnered firm like CertiK. We then execute multiple dry-run migrations on testnets (Sepolia, Holesky) to validate all state transitions and user flows.

Phase 4: Execution & Monitoring

We manage the mainnet deployment via a multi-sig timelock, execute the state migration, and provide real-time dashboards for monitoring treasury balances, voting power, and contract interactions post-launch. Includes 30 days of proactive support.

TANGIBLE RESULTS

Business Outcomes for Your DAO

Our Sub-DAO migration service delivers measurable improvements in governance efficiency, operational security, and technical scalability. We focus on outcomes that directly impact your treasury and community.

01

Reduced Governance Attack Surface

We migrate your governance logic to a modular, audited framework, isolating sub-DAO permissions and eliminating single points of failure. This minimizes the risk of catastrophic treasury loss from a single exploit.

Faster, Cheaper Proposal Execution

Optimized smart contract architecture reduces gas costs for proposal creation and voting by up to 40%. Delegate voting and batch execution patterns cut average proposal time-to-execution from days to hours.

Seamless Treasury & Permission Management

Implement granular, multi-sig controlled treasury modules for each Sub-DAO. We establish clear, on-chain permission hierarchies, ensuring funds are accessible only to authorized roles for approved purposes.

Future-Proof Technical Foundation

Migration to upgradeable, standards-compliant contracts (based on OpenZeppelin) ensures your DAO can adopt new EIPs and scale without costly, disruptive re-writes. Includes comprehensive documentation for your team.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized contracts on EVM chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our focus is on security-first development using OpenZeppelin libraries and formal verification patterns to mitigate risks.

  • Custom Logic: Build ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending vaults, staking).
  • Full Lifecycle: From architecture and development to testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Proven Security: Multi-stage audits and Slither/MythX analysis are standard.

Deliver a secure, scalable foundation for your protocol in as little as 4-6 weeks, backed by our team's experience deploying over $500M in on-chain TVA.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

Protocols & Tools We Master

Our migration engineers are certified experts in the core DAO frameworks and security tooling required for safe, efficient sub-DAO deployment. We don't just write code; we ensure your governance logic is secure, upgradeable, and interoperable from day one.

Technical & Process Questions

Sub-DAO Migration FAQs

Common questions from CTOs and founders about migrating governance to a Sub-DAO structure. Get specific answers on timelines, security, and our delivery process.

A standard Sub-DAO migration with a single governance token and core treasury functions takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. Complex migrations involving multi-token voting, cross-chain governance, or custom delegation logic can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial technical audit.
