PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Zero-Downtime Migration Framework
A systematic, battle-tested process for upgrading your stablecoin protocol without disrupting user funds or liquidity. We ensure continuity, security, and a seamless transition for all stakeholders.
01
Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit
We conduct a full security and functional audit of your existing protocol, identifying upgrade paths and potential risks before a single line of new code is written. This includes gas analysis, state compatibility checks, and dependency mapping.

02
Dual-Runtime Architecture
Deploy and run the new protocol version in parallel with the legacy system. This allows for real-time validation, load testing, and user opt-in migration while the old system remains fully operational and secure.

03
Automated State Migration & Bridge
Implement a secure, permissionless bridge contract that allows users and liquidity to move atomically from V1 to V2. We handle complex state transitions (balances, allowances, staking positions) with cryptographic proof verification.

Real-Time Monitoring & Rollback Safeguards
24/7 monitoring of both systems during the migration window. We implement emergency pause functions and automated rollback triggers based on predefined failure conditions, ensuring capital protection is paramount.

Strategic Decision Analysis
In-House vs. Chainscore-Guided Migration
A direct comparison of the risks, costs, and timelines associated with managing a stablecoin protocol upgrade internally versus partnering with Chainscore's specialized migration team.
| Migration Factor | In-House Team | Chainscore-Guided |
|---|---|---|
Time to Market | 4-9 months | 6-10 weeks |
Initial Security Risk | High (unaudited code, novel attack vectors) | Low (pre-audited patterns, battle-tested libraries) |
Upfront Engineering Cost | $180K - $450K+ | $75K - $200K |
Smart Contract Audit Coverage | Separate procurement & management | Included (OpenZeppelin, Spearbit partners) |
Legacy System Decommissioning | Your responsibility | Managed process with rollback plans |
Post-Migration Support SLA | None (internal on-call) | 99.9% uptime with 4-hour response |
Regulatory Compliance Review | Optional add-on cost | Built-in for major jurisdictions (US, EU, UK) |
Total Year 1 Cost (Est.) | $250K - $600K+ | $120K - $300K |

Stablecoin Migration FAQs
Answers to common questions about our methodology, timeline, security, and support for stablecoin protocol upgrades.
A complete migration, from initial code audit to mainnet deployment, typically takes 4-8 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for security analysis and upgrade planning, 2-4 weeks for smart contract development and internal testing, and 1-2 weeks for external audit review and final deployment orchestration. We provide a detailed Gantt chart in our project proposal.
