We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment to mainnet.
Private Smart Contract Migration Services
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and gas-optimized contract suite in 2-4 weeks for your MVP.
- Protocol Development: Custom logic for
ERC-20,ERC-721, staking, governance, and DeFi primitives. - Security & Audits: Multi-stage review process, with optional preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
- Gas Optimization: Expert-level Solidity to minimize transaction costs and maximize user adoption.
- Full Lifecycle Support: From initial design and testing to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
Our Migration Methodology
A systematic, security-first approach to migrating your business logic to a new blockchain. We minimize risk and ensure zero downtime for your users.
Comprehensive Security Audit
We begin with a full audit of your existing contracts using static analysis and formal verification tools. This identifies vulnerabilities and ensures the new implementation is secure by design.
Gas & State Migration Strategy
We architect a custom migration path for your contract state and user balances. Our strategies ensure data integrity and minimize gas costs for both the migration and future operations.
Upgradeable Architecture
We implement future-proof patterns like Transparent Proxies or UUPS, allowing you to deploy security patches and new features without disrupting service or requiring user action.
Staged Deployment & Verification
We deploy to testnets first, followed by a phased mainnet rollout. Each stage includes exhaustive testing against forked mainnet state to guarantee functional parity.
Business Outcomes of a Private Migration
Our private smart contract migration service delivers measurable improvements in security, cost, and operational efficiency. See the concrete outcomes you can expect.
Zero-Downtime Transition
Execute your migration with zero service interruption. We orchestrate state transfer and contract cutover using proven patterns, ensuring your users experience no downtime or failed transactions.
Eliminate Security Vulnerabilities
Migrate away from deprecated or vulnerable code to a hardened, audited codebase. We implement OpenZeppelin best practices and conduct a final security review to close attack vectors.
Reduce Long-Term Gas Costs
Optimize contract logic and storage during migration to permanently lower execution fees. We target inefficient patterns and legacy code, delivering sustainable gas savings.
Future-Proof Architecture
Upgrade to modular, upgradeable standards (e.g., UUPS/Transparent Proxies) and modern Solidity (0.8.x+). This enables safer, permissioned future upgrades without full migrations.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Structure tokenomics and access controls to meet evolving regulatory standards. Implement features like transfer pausability, allowlists, and role-based permissions.
Guaranteed Data Integrity
Ensure 100% accuracy in state migration. We employ deterministic verification scripts and multi-signature confirmation to guarantee all user balances and NFT ownership are preserved.
Public vs. Private DeFi: A Strategic Comparison
Key differences between public and private smart contract architectures, and how Chainscore's migration service bridges the gap for institutional clients.
| Architectural Factor | Public DeFi (Open) | Private DeFi (Permissioned) | Chainscore Migration Service |
|---|---|---|---|
Transaction Privacy | Hybrid (ZK-Proofs/MPC) | ||
Regulatory Compliance | Complex | Designed for | Built-in KYC/AML Modules |
Smart Contract Audit | Optional (High Risk) | Mandatory | Full Audit + Formal Verification |
Settlement Finality | ~15 min (Ethereum) | < 2 seconds | Sub-Second with Custom Consensus |
Gas Cost Volatility | High & Unpredictable | Fixed/Controlled | Predictable Fee Structure |
Development Timeline | 4-8 weeks (Standard) | 6-12 months (Custom) | 8-12 weeks (Accelerated) |
Team Expertise Required | Solidity, MEV, Oracles | Consensus, Privacy, Infra | We Provide Full Stack Team |
Ongoing Infrastructure Cost | Variable (L1/L2 Fees) | High (Dedicated Validators) | Managed Service (SLA-Based) |
Time-to-Market for New Features | Slow (Governance Votes) | Slow (Internal Dev) | Fast (Modular Upgrades) |
Typical Initial Investment | $50K-$200K (Public) | $500K-$2M+ (Build) | $150K-$500K (Migrate) |
Our Phased Delivery Process
A predictable, low-risk methodology for migrating sensitive business logic to private smart contracts. We deliver production-ready code with zero downtime.
Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a full audit of your existing logic and data flows to design a secure, gas-efficient private contract architecture. This includes threat modeling and finalizing the technical stack (e.g., Aztec, Polygon Nightfall, Arbitrum Stylus).
Development & Unit Testing
Our engineers write, test, and optimize the private smart contracts in your chosen framework. We implement Zero-Knowledge proofs or Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) as required, with comprehensive unit tests for all edge cases.
Security Audit & Penetration Testing
Every contract undergoes a formal security review. We engage third-party auditors (e.g., Trail of Bits, Quantstamp) and conduct internal penetration testing focused on privacy leakage and cryptographic vulnerabilities.
Staging Deployment & Integration
We deploy the audited contracts to a private testnet or staging environment that mirrors production. We then integrate them with your front-end and back-end systems, running end-to-end tests to validate all data flows.
Production Migration & Monitoring
We execute the phased production cutover, migrating user states and liquidity with verified integrity. Post-launch, we provide 24/7 monitoring for transaction success rates, gas anomalies, and privacy circuit performance.
Documentation & Handoff
We deliver complete technical documentation, operational runbooks for your team, and conduct knowledge transfer sessions. You receive full ownership of the codebase and infrastructure.
Private Smart Contract Migration FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for migrating your protocol's core logic to a private, secure environment.
A standard migration for a protocol with 5-10 core contracts takes 2-4 weeks from audit review to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture planning and environment setup, 1-2 weeks for the migration and integration build, and 1 week for internal QA and client acceptance testing. Complex DeFi protocols with 20+ interdependent contracts can take 6-8 weeks.
