Smart Contract Upgrade Security Automation

Automated, continuous security scanning for upgradeable smart contracts. We detect storage layout risks and initialization vulnerabilities in UUPS and Transparent Proxy patterns before they cause exploits.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built for production and audited by industry leaders.

We architect and deploy mission-critical Solidity/Rust smart contracts with a focus on security-first development and gas efficiency. Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review before being submitted for formal audit by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.

  • Custom Logic: DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending pools), NFT collections (ERC-721A), governance systems, and bespoke business logic.
  • Security Framework: Built with OpenZeppelin standards, complete with comprehensive unit and fuzz testing (Foundry/Hardhat).
  • Full Lifecycle: From specification and development to deployment, verification, and ongoing upgrade management via transparent proxies.

Deliver a production-ready, audited smart contract system in as little as 4-6 weeks, reducing your technical risk and accelerating your roadmap.

THE STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

Why Automate Upgrade Security

Manual smart contract upgrades are the single largest source of operational risk and technical debt in Web3. Automation transforms this vulnerability into a competitive advantage.

01

Eliminate Human Error

Automated deployment pipelines with multi-signature governance remove the risk of manual misconfiguration, incorrect timelock settings, and fat-finger errors during critical upgrades.

Manual Errors
02

Enforce Security Policy

Codify your security requirements—mandatory audits, timelock durations, quorum thresholds—into the deployment workflow. The system enforces compliance; it cannot be bypassed.

Smart Contract Upgrade Security FAQs

Common questions from technical leaders evaluating automated upgrade security for production protocols.

Our process is built on a multi-layered security model. Every upgrade undergoes automated vulnerability scanning against 200+ known exploit patterns, formal verification for critical state changes, and gas optimization analysis to prevent out-of-gas attacks. We integrate with OpenZeppelin Upgrades and Hardhat plugins, enforcing upgrade patterns like Transparent Proxy and UUPS. All deployments are executed via multi-signature Gnosis Safe wallets with mandatory peer reviews.
