PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our End-to-End Migration Framework
A structured, four-phase approach that de-risks your transition from legacy databases to decentralized storage, ensuring data integrity, security, and operational continuity.
01
Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing data models and access patterns to design a future-proof decentralized architecture using IPFS, Filecoin, or Arweave. This phase defines the on-chain/off-chain data split, indexing strategy, and migration roadmap.

02
Data Pipeline & Migration Engine
We build automated, fault-tolerant ETL pipelines to transform, validate, and migrate your data. Our engine handles batch and real-time data, ensuring referential integrity and creating verifiable content identifiers (CIDs) for all assets.

Technical & Commercial Details
Frequently Asked Questions on Legacy System to Decentralized Storage Migration
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when planning a data migration to decentralized infrastructure.
Our standard migration projects take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. The timeline depends on data volume and complexity: simple archival migrations (e.g., moving static files to IPFS/Arweave) can be completed in 2-3 weeks, while complex, multi-source migrations with live data synchronization and custom indexing can take 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the initial discovery phase.
