Legacy Royalty System Migration
Custom Smart Contract Development
Production-ready smart contracts built for security, scalability, and real-world utility.
Deliver a secure, functional MVP in as little as 2-4 weeks, accelerating your path to market and user trust.
Our full-service development covers:
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andERC-4626vaults. - DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and yield aggregators.
- Governance Systems: DAO frameworks with custom voting and treasury management.
- Enterprise Logic: Complex business rules, access control, and upgradeable proxy patterns.
Every contract undergoes a rigorous multi-stage audit process, including internal review, automated analysis with tools like Slither and MythX, and final verification by external security partners. We provide comprehensive documentation and deployment support on your chain of choice.
Our Migration Methodology
A structured, security-first approach to migrate your legacy royalty logic to a modern, on-chain system without disrupting your business.
Discovery & Architecture Audit
We perform a deep technical analysis of your existing royalty logic, payment flows, and data structures. This phase establishes the migration blueprint, identifying dependencies and defining the target on-chain architecture (e.g., ERC-2981, custom splitter contracts).
Smart Contract Development & Testing
Our engineers build the core royalty smart contracts using audited patterns (OpenZeppelin) and Solidity 0.8+. Every contract undergoes rigorous unit, integration, and scenario testing to ensure flawless payment execution and security.
Staged Data Migration
We execute a phased migration of payee data and historical entitlements to the new system. This includes secure, verifiable data validation and the use of migration contracts to ensure no royalty payment is lost or duplicated during the cutover.
Deployment & Integration
We manage the secure deployment to your chosen network (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.) and integrate the new royalty contracts with your existing platform (minting dApp, marketplace UI, backend APIs).
Monitoring & Optimization
Post-launch, we provide monitoring dashboards for royalty payment flows and contract performance. We offer ongoing support for upgrades, gas optimization, and scaling to new revenue models.
Business Outcomes of a Successful Migration
Migrating your legacy royalty system to a modern on-chain framework delivers measurable improvements across your entire business. Here are the concrete outcomes you can expect.
Automated & Transparent Payouts
Replace manual reconciliation with smart contract-enforced, on-chain royalty distribution. Eliminates disputes, reduces administrative overhead by 70%, and ensures creators are paid instantly and transparently.
Enhanced Creator Trust & Retention
Provide immutable proof of revenue share and real-time analytics dashboards. Builds long-term loyalty and attracts top-tier creators by demonstrating a fair, transparent, and reliable partnership model.
Future-Proof Protocol Flexibility
Deploy with modular, upgradeable smart contracts that adapt to new standards (ERC-2981, EIP-...) and marketplaces. Avoid vendor lock-in and costly re-platforming as the ecosystem evolves.
Reduced Operational Risk & Cost
Minimize fraud, accounting errors, and compliance gaps inherent in manual systems. Our audited contracts and automated processes significantly lower operational risk and associated legal/financial exposure.
Seamless Marketplace Integration
Achieve universal compatibility with major NFT marketplaces (OpenSea, Blur, etc.) and secondary sales platforms. Our integration layer ensures your royalties are enforced consistently across the entire trading ecosystem.
Actionable Revenue Intelligence
Gain deep insights into royalty streams, creator performance, and collection health through dedicated analytics dashboards. Make data-driven decisions to optimize your platform's economics and growth.
Legacy System vs. Chainscore Migration
A direct comparison of the costs, risks, and timelines associated with maintaining a custom-built legacy royalty system versus migrating to Chainscore's managed service.
| Key Factor | Maintain Legacy System | Migrate with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Upgrade / Deploy | 3-6 months (internal dev) | 2-4 weeks (managed migration) |
Initial Development & Migration Cost | $150K - $500K+ | $25K - $75K (one-time) |
Annual Maintenance & DevOps Cost | $80K - $200K (FTE cost) | $15K - $50K (managed SLA) |
Security Posture | High Risk (custom, unaudited code) | Enterprise-Grade (pre-audited, battle-tested) |
Royalty Enforcement Reliability | Variable (depends on custom logic) |
|
Multi-Chain Support | Complex, requires per-chain deployment | Native (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Solana) |
Real-Time Analytics & Reporting | Requires separate build | Included (dashboard & APIs) |
Smart Contract Upgrade Path | Risky, manual migrations | Safe, versioned upgrades with rollback |
Support & Incident Response | Internal team on-call | 24/7 SRE team with <1hr response SLA |
Total 3-Year TCO Estimate | $390K - $1.5M+ | $70K - $225K |

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about migrating from legacy royalty systems to on-chain, programmable solutions.
A standard migration project takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture and smart contract design, 2-3 weeks for development and internal testing, 1 week for client UAT, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and final deployment. Complex ecosystems with multiple existing contracts may extend this timeline.
