Bitcoin Bridge Disaster Recovery & Upgrade Planning

We develop a comprehensive, executable recovery playbook for your specific bridge architecture. This includes failover procedures, multi-sig key management protocols, and step-by-step guides for engineers to follow during an incident.

Proactive analysis of your bridge's compatibility with upcoming Bitcoin network upgrades (e.g., Taproot) or hard forks. We provide a detailed impact report and a prioritized migration path to ensure seamless transitions.

Establish a clear command structure and communication protocol for security events. Includes on-chain monitoring alerts, vulnerability triage processes, and coordination with white-hat communities and auditors.

Hardening of your bridge's external dependencies. We design redundancy for off-chain data oracles, implement slashing condition audits for validator sets, and create fallback mechanisms to maintain liveness.

Architect and implement secure, time-locked upgrade paths for your bridge's core smart contracts. Includes multi-sig governance, emergency pause functions, and rigorous pre-upgrade simulation testing.

We conduct thorough root cause analysis after any incident or drill, producing actionable reports to prevent recurrence. This process strengthens your bridge's security posture and provides transparency to users and stakeholders.

We architect and execute seamless, non-custodial upgrades for your Bitcoin bridge, eliminating downtime and preventing TVL flight during critical protocol improvements. Our battle-tested process ensures user funds are never at risk.

Define and achieve a guaranteed Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for your bridge, backed by our proven playbooks and on-call engineering team. We turn disaster scenarios from existential threats into manageable, time-bound incidents.

Every recovery and upgrade action is documented with a full audit trail, providing immutable proof of process integrity for your team, auditors, and community. This transparency is foundational for maintaining long-term trust.

We provide structured communication frameworks and verifiable on-chain proofs to efficiently restore community and investor confidence after an incident, directly protecting your protocol's reputation and valuation.

We conduct a deep technical audit of your bridge's current architecture, identifying single points of failure, upgrade risks, and governance vulnerabilities. This includes a review of multisig configurations, watchtower logic, and emergency shutdown procedures.

We codify actionable runbooks for every failure scenario—from soft forks to hard forks and chain reorganizations. Plans include step-by-step operator instructions, multisig coordination protocols, and communication templates for users.

We implement the technical safeguards from the recovery plan. This includes deploying redundant signer clusters, configuring automated health checks and alerts, and setting up isolated testnet environments that mirror mainnet conditions.

Theory meets reality. We execute controlled failure simulations on your testnet infrastructure, including simulated Taproot-style activation events and multi-block reorgs. Teams practice executing recovery plans under pressure.
