Quantifying the Operational and Financial Impact
Mainnet vs. ZK-Rollup Staking: The Cost of Inaction
A side-by-side comparison of the key operational and financial metrics for running a staking service on Ethereum Mainnet versus migrating to a custom ZK-Rollup. This table highlights the tangible costs of delaying infrastructure modernization.
| Metric | Ethereum Mainnet Staking | ZK-Rollup Staking (Chainscore) |
|---|---|---|
Gas Cost per Staking Operation | $15-$50+ (volatile) | < $0.01 (predictable) |
Time to Finality | 12-15 minutes | < 2 seconds |
Annual Infrastructure Cost (10k users) | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $100K |
Time to Market for New Features | 3-6 months (hard fork dependent) | 2-4 weeks (sovereign upgrade) |
Security Model | Shared (global state risk) | Isolated (your rollup, your rules) |
Developer Experience | Complex, slow iterations | Streamlined, fast prototyping |
Regulatory Flexibility | Limited | Customizable compliance layer |
Competitive Edge | Commoditized | Differentiated product |

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our 4-Phase Migration Process
A structured, risk-managed approach to migrate your staking protocol from L1 to a custom ZK-Rollup, ensuring zero downtime and capital preservation.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Strategy
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing staking contracts and TVL to design a bespoke ZK-Rollup architecture. This includes selecting the optimal proof system (e.g., zkSync, Starknet, Polygon zkEVM) and defining the canonical bridge security model.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration
Our team develops and deploys the new rollup staking contracts. We implement a dual-state management system allowing users to stake on the new chain while the old contracts remain live, ensuring a seamless, non-custodial transition for all users.

Technical & Commercial Considerations
ZK-Rollup Staking Migration FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and technical founders planning a staking migration to a ZK-Rollup.
A complete migration from a monolithic chain or sidechain to a ZK-Rollup typically takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design and audit review, 3-5 weeks for core contract development and integration, and 2-3 weeks for testing, security audits, and mainnet deployment. We deliver using a phased approach with weekly progress demos.
