EVM Smart Contract Upgrade Framework Development

Integrate multi-sig timelocks, governance gating, and comprehensive upgrade testing suites to prevent unauthorized changes and ensure upgrade integrity.

Automated tools and migration scripts to safely manage storage variables across upgrades, preventing critical storage collision vulnerabilities.

Automated post-upgrade health checks, state validation, and real-time monitoring dashboards to ensure new logic performs as intended immediately after deployment.

We design upgrade mechanisms that isolate and protect your core business logic, allowing you to iterate on features without risking assets or user trust. This enables rapid adaptation to market changes.

Avoid the complexity and recurring gas costs of proxy patterns like Transparent or UUPS. We build lean, purpose-built upgrade systems that minimize overhead and simplify long-term maintenance.

Custom frameworks eliminate generic attack vectors. We implement rigorous access controls, multi-sig governance, and time-locks tailored to your risk model, backed by formal verification where applicable.

Decouple deployment of new features from core contract redeployment. Ship improvements and optimizations in days, not months, while maintaining a consistent user experience and contract address.

Integrate upgrade authorization flows that match your organizational structure—DAO multi-sig, timelock executives, or permissioned developer roles—ensuring upgrades are secure and compliant.

A bespoke upgrade strategy is a defensible technical moat. It signals maturity to users and investors, demonstrating a commitment to security, longevity, and controlled evolution beyond copy-paste solutions.

We begin with a comprehensive threat model and architecture review, designing upgrade patterns (Transparent vs. UUPS) and planning for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp from day one.

Implementation using OpenZeppelin Upgrades Plugins and Solady libraries. We build with separation of logic and storage, ensuring each module is independently testable and upgradeable.

Beyond unit tests, we run fork tests on Mainnet and Sepolia, simulate upgrades, and conduct invariant testing with Foundry to prevent state corruption and front-running vulnerabilities.

Managed deployment via Safe{Wallet} multisig with timelock controllers. We establish clear governance workflows for proposing, approving, and executing upgrades to eliminate single points of failure.

We provide integration with monitoring tools like Tenderly or Chainscore's own platform for real-time alerting on failed upgrades, admin actions, and contract health metrics.

Delivery of comprehensive technical specs, upgrade playbooks, and rollback procedures. We ensure your team is fully equipped to manage the framework long-term.
