overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
We deliver production-grade contracts, not just prototypes. Every line of code is written with security, gas efficiency, and long-term maintainability in mind.
- Full-Stack Expertise: Development in
Solidity,Rust (Solana), orMove (Aptos/Sui)withOpenZeppelinlibraries andFoundry/Hardhattooling. - Security by Design: Rigorous internal review, formal verification for critical functions, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like
CertiKorQuantstamp. - End-to-End Delivery: From initial specification and architecture to deployment, verification on
Etherscan, and ongoing upgrade management via transparent proxies.

PRODUCTION-READY MIGRATION
Engineered for Safe, Automated Upgrades
Our migration assistant is built for enterprise-grade reliability, minimizing downtime and eliminating human error during critical protocol upgrades.
01
Deterministic Upgrade Paths
We architect and execute deterministic, non-destructive upgrade paths using proxy patterns (Transparent/UUPS) and modular libraries. This ensures state preservation and zero data loss.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Systematic Migration Process
A structured, security-first approach to protocol upgrades that minimizes risk and ensures zero downtime for your users.
01
Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit
We perform a full security and compatibility analysis of your existing contracts against the new protocol version. This identifies critical vulnerabilities, gas inefficiencies, and breaking changes before a single line of code is deployed.

Smart Contract Migration Engine
Our automated tooling handles the secure transfer of user funds, state, and permissions from legacy contracts to the upgraded version. This eliminates manual errors and ensures data integrity throughout the migration lifecycle.

03
Staged Canary Deployment
We deploy the upgraded protocol in controlled stages, starting with a small subset of users or a testnet fork. This allows for real-world validation and immediate rollback capability if any issues are detected, protecting your mainnet.

Technical & Process FAQs
Protocol Upgrade Migration: Common Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and our approach to migrating your protocol to a new version or chain.
Standard migrations take 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for planning and audit review, 1-2 weeks for development and internal testing, and 1 week for client testing and final deployment. Complex migrations with significant logic changes or multi-chain deployments may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart in the project proposal.
