Our Phased Delivery Process
We execute protocol upgrades through a structured, four-phase methodology designed to eliminate downtime and ensure a seamless transition for your users and liquidity.
01
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing dark pool contracts and liquidity architecture. This phase delivers a detailed technical specification and migration roadmap, identifying all dependencies and potential upgrade paths.

Technical & Commercial Insights
Dark Pool Upgrade FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for upgrading your dark pool protocol. Based on our experience delivering 30+ private trading infrastructure projects.
A standard upgrade from v1 to v2, including core smart contract migration and integration, typically takes 3-5 weeks. This includes 1 week for architecture review, 2-3 weeks for development and internal testing, and 1 week for client UAT and mainnet deployment. Complex migrations with new features like ZK-proofs or cross-chain settlement can extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart after the initial technical assessment.
