Legacy to Decentralized Storage Migration

Full-service migration of your data and workflows from centralized cloud or on-premise systems to a custom, resilient decentralized storage network. We ensure zero business disruption.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by expert Solidity engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive testing suites to ensure reliability and prevent costly exploits.

  • Full-Stack Development: From ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 NFTs to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance systems.
  • Rigorous Audits: Every contract undergoes internal review and is prepared for third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs for your users, a critical factor for adoption.

We deliver battle-tested contracts that power your product, not just code that compiles. Our focus is on security, efficiency, and maintainability from day one.

TANGIBLE ROI

Business Outcomes of a Decentralized Storage Migration

Migrating from legacy systems to decentralized storage with Chainscore delivers measurable improvements in cost, resilience, and performance. We architect solutions that directly impact your bottom line and operational security.

01

Radical Cost Reduction

Eliminate recurring cloud vendor lock-in and unpredictable egress fees. Our migration to protocols like Filecoin and Arweave delivers predictable, long-term storage costs that are up to 90% lower than traditional cloud providers for archival data.

02

Unbreakable Data Integrity

Replace centralized single points of failure with globally distributed, cryptographically verified storage. Data is secured via content-addressing (CIDs) and replicated across hundreds of independent nodes, ensuring permanent availability and tamper-proof records.

STRUCTURED EXECUTION

Our Proven 5-Phase Migration Methodology

We de-risk your transition from legacy systems to decentralized storage with a battle-tested, step-by-step process. This methodology ensures zero data loss, minimal downtime, and predictable outcomes for your business.

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture Audit

We conduct a comprehensive analysis of your existing data architecture, dependencies, and compliance requirements. This phase delivers a detailed migration blueprint, including cost projections and a risk assessment for your specific use case.

Legacy Storage Migration: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on timelines, security, and outcomes for migrating from AWS S3, Google Cloud, or on-premise systems to decentralized storage like IPFS, Arweave, or Filecoin.

Our standard migration timeline is 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture planning and data mapping, 1-2 weeks for the core migration and integration build, and 1 week for testing and go-live. Complex migrations involving petabytes of data or custom access control logic may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones within the first 3 days of engagement.
