Deploy battle-tested contracts in as little as 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for critical functions.
Our Upgrade Integration Capabilities
We architect and execute zero-downtime upgrades for your ZK-Rollup application, ensuring protocol evolution without disrupting your users or liquidity.
Hard Fork Coordination
We manage the entire upgrade lifecycle—from testnet deployment and validator coordination to mainnet cutover—ensuring a smooth transition with zero user impact.
State Migration & Bridge Security
Secure transfer of all on-chain state (tokens, NFTs, balances) and bridge contracts to the new rollup instance, with cryptographic proofs for integrity verification.
Backward Compatibility Layers
Implementation of proxy patterns and versioning APIs to maintain compatibility with existing frontends, wallets, and off-chain services during the transition.
Post-Upgrade Monitoring & Rollback Preparedness
Comprehensive monitoring of the new network's health and pre-configured emergency rollback procedures to mitigate any unforeseen issues immediately.
Why Partner for Your Rollup Upgrades
Upgrading a production ZK-Rollup is a high-stakes engineering task. We deliver seamless, secure, and backward-compatible upgrades that eliminate downtime and protect user funds.
Zero-Downtime Migration
We architect and execute state migration strategies that ensure your application remains live and responsive for users throughout the upgrade process, with no service interruption.
Security-First Protocol Upgrades
Every upgrade path is rigorously tested and formally verified. We implement upgrade patterns like transparent proxies and UUPS to minimize attack surface and ensure contract integrity.
Backward Compatibility Assurance
We guarantee that all existing user data, transaction history, and smart contract interactions remain fully functional post-upgrade, preserving user trust and application state.
Proven Rollup Framework Expertise
Our team has deep, production-level experience with major ZK-Rollup stacks including zkSync Era, Starknet, Polygon zkEVM, and Scroll. We navigate framework-specific quirks for you.
Accelerated Time-to-Upgrade
Leverage our battle-tested upgrade pipelines and automation tooling to move from testnet to mainnet deployment in weeks, not months, keeping you ahead of protocol developments.
Post-Upgrade Monitoring & Support
We don't just deploy and leave. We provide comprehensive monitoring dashboards and 24/7 incident response for the critical period following your upgrade to ensure stability.
Managed Integration vs. In-House Development
Compare the total cost, risk, and time-to-market of building your own ZK-Rollup integration team versus partnering with Chainscore's managed service.

Initial Development Cost | $250K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (Unaudited Code Risk) | Low (Pre-Audited Patterns & Optional Full Audit) |
ZK-Circuit Expertise Required | Must hire/have specialists | Included (Our Team) |
Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades | Your team's responsibility | Fully Managed with SLA |
Integration with L1 & Bridges | Custom development required | Pre-built, configurable modules |
Prover Infrastructure Management | Self-hosted (Complex DevOps) | Managed, Auto-scaling Service |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $400K - $800K+ | $80K - $200K |
Our Delivery Process
A structured, four-phase methodology designed for technical leaders. We deliver fully integrated ZK-Rollup upgrades with clear milestones, zero surprises, and guaranteed outcomes.
Phase 1: Architecture & Audit
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing dApp and L1 contracts, then design a custom ZK-Rollup integration blueprint. This includes selecting the optimal proof system (zkSync, StarkNet, Polygon zkEVM) and defining the data availability layer.
Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration
Our team refactors and redeploys your core logic as verifiable ZK circuits and L2-compatible smart contracts. We ensure state consistency, implement secure bridging mechanisms, and optimize for L2 gas efficiency.
Phase 3: Integration & Testing
We integrate the new ZK-Rollup layer with your front-end and backend, establishing secure RPC endpoints and indexers. Rigorous testing includes prover/verifier validation, stress testing, and full security audit completion.
Phase 4: Deployment & Monitoring
Managed mainnet deployment with phased user migration. We provide a dedicated dashboard for real-time monitoring of transaction finality, sequencer health, and bridge security, with 24/7 incident response.

ZK-Rollup Upgrade Integration FAQs
Get clear answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating a ZK-Rollup upgrade partner. We focus on timelines, security, and measurable outcomes.
A standard upgrade from an existing L1 or optimistic rollup to a ZK-Rollup takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture review, 2-4 weeks for core development and integration, and 1-2 weeks for testing, security review, and deployment. Complex protocols with custom circuits or novel state transitions may extend this timeline, which we define in a fixed-scope proposal.
