We architect and deploy the core infrastructure your dApp needs to perform. This includes custom RPC nodes, indexing services, and data pipelines that deliver 99.9% uptime and sub-second latency. We manage the complexity so you can focus on your product.
Legacy ZK System Migration
Blockchain Infrastructure Development
Build secure, scalable, and production-ready blockchain backends tailored to your application.
From testnet to mainnet, we ensure your infrastructure is battle-tested and cost-optimized for scale.
- Node Operations: Dedicated
EVM(Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) andSolanaRPC/validator nodes with advanced monitoring. - Data & Indexing: Real-time blockchain event streaming, custom subgraphs (
The Graph), and indexed APIs for fast data queries. - DevOps & Security: Automated deployments, multi-region failover, and enterprise-grade security practices including DDoS protection.
Our Migration Capabilities
We provide a complete, low-risk migration path from legacy ZK systems (zk-SNARKs, custom circuits) to modern, scalable frameworks like Halo2, Plonky2, and zkSync's ZK Stack. Our process is designed for minimal downtime and maximum security.
Post-Migration Support
We provide 30 days of dedicated support post-launch, including monitoring, optimization tweaks, and developer training for your team on the new ZK stack.
Business Outcomes of a ZK Migration
Migrating from a legacy ZK system is a strategic investment. We deliver concrete, measurable outcomes that directly impact your bottom line and technical roadmap.
Radical Cost Reduction
Replace expensive, custom hardware with optimized software on commodity infrastructure. Achieve up to 70% lower operational costs while maintaining or improving performance.
Developer Velocity & Agility
Eliminate vendor lock-in and technical debt. Our migration to modern ZK frameworks (e.g., Halo2, Plonky2) enables your team to iterate 3x faster with familiar tools and libraries.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Auditability
Transition to formally verified circuits and battle-tested proving systems. We deliver audit-ready code with comprehensive documentation, reducing security review cycles by 50%.
Scalability for Mass Adoption
Unlock horizontal scaling and support for millions of daily transactions. Our architecture ensures sub-2-second proof generation and seamless integration with L2s & appchains.
Future-Proof Protocol Design
Build on modular, upgradeable ZK circuits that can integrate new cryptographic primitives (e.g., folding schemes) without costly rewrites, protecting your 5-year roadmap.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Implement privacy-preserving proofs with built-in compliance rails (selective disclosure, audit trails). Achieve bank-grade compliance for DeFi, RWA, and institutional use cases.
Legacy vs. Modern ZK System Migration
A detailed comparison of managing an in-house legacy ZK system versus migrating to a modern, managed solution with Chainscore. This table highlights key operational, cost, and risk factors critical for CTOs and engineering leads.
| Evaluation Factor | Legacy In-House System | Chainscore Migration |
|---|---|---|

Initial Development Cost | $300K - $1M+ | $75K - $250K |
Annual Maintenance & DevOps | $150K - $400K | $50K - $150K (Optional SLA) |
Prover Performance (TPS) | 1K - 5K (Custom) | 10K+ TPS (Optimized) |
Security Posture | High Risk (Custom, Unauthored Code) | Enterprise-Grade (Audited, Standardized Patterns) |
Team Expertise Required | Specialized Cryptography & PL Engineers | Your Existing Solidity/Web3 Team |
Hardware/Cloud Infrastructure | Your Cost & Management | Managed by Chainscore |
Upgrade Path (e.g., Nova, Boojum) | Manual, High-Effort Rebuild | Managed Upgrade Service |
Proof Finality Time |
| < 2 seconds |
Uptime & Monitoring | Your Responsibility | 99.9% SLA with 24/7 Monitoring |
Our Migration Methodology
A systematic, low-risk approach to modernize your zero-knowledge infrastructure. We deliver predictable timelines, guaranteed uptime, and seamless integration with your existing stack.
Architecture & Gap Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your current ZK circuits and proving systems to identify performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and compatibility gaps with modern frameworks like Halo2, Plonky2, or Noir.
Circuit Redesign & Optimization
Our cryptographers redesign legacy circuits (e.g., from Groth16/ZK-SNARKs) for modern proving systems, focusing on prover speed, verifier gas costs, and recursive composition capabilities.
Secure Implementation & Auditing
We implement the new circuits with formal verification in mind and subject the entire codebase to rigorous security audits. All work follows OpenZeppelin standards and is ready for third-party review.
Staged Deployment & Verification
We execute a phased migration with a canary deployment model. This includes setting up a dual-proving system, running comprehensive test vectors, and ensuring zero downtime for your live application.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.
We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and upgradeable. Our process delivers audit-ready code from day one, built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive testing suites.
- Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and formal verification before external audit, mitigating risks like reentrancy and overflow.
- Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 20-40% through efficient data structures and contract architecture.
- Upgradeability & Maintenance: Implement
Transparent ProxyorUUPSpatterns for seamless, secure future upgrades without migrating state.
ZK Migration FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for migrating from legacy ZK systems like zkSync Classic or Polygon Hermez.
A standard migration from a legacy ZK system (e.g., zkSync Classic) to a modern ZK stack (e.g., zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM) takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes architecture review, smart contract porting, circuit optimization, and security audits. Complex protocols with custom circuits may extend to 6-8 weeks.
