Smart Contract Upgrade Compliance Check

Automated, continuous analysis of proposed and deployed smart contract upgrades. We identify regulatory risks in tokenomics, fee structures, and user permissions before they impact your business.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built for security and speed, delivering a custom MVP in 2-3 weeks.

  • Security-First Architecture: Built with Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, following formal verification patterns.
  • Full-Stack Integration: Contracts designed for seamless interaction with your frontend and backend via ethers.js/web3.py.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Unit, integration, and scenario testing with Hardhat or Foundry before audit.
  • Deployment & Verification: Automated deployment scripts and source code verification on Etherscan, Arbiscan, etc.

We deliver contracts you can trust, with 99.9% uptime SLAs and post-deployment support for upgrades and maintenance.

PROVEN PROCESS

How Our Automated Compliance Engine Works

Our systematic approach ensures every smart contract upgrade is secure, compliant, and ready for production. We automate the critical checks that protect your protocol and users.

01

Comprehensive Rule Set Integration

We automatically validate upgrades against a proprietary database of 500+ security and compliance rules, including OpenZeppelin best practices, protocol-specific invariants, and common vulnerability patterns.

COMPLIANCE & SECURITY

Mitigate Legal Risk and Protect Your Protocol

Smart contract upgrades are a powerful tool, but improper execution creates significant legal and technical vulnerabilities. Our compliance check ensures your upgrade process is secure, transparent, and legally defensible.

01

Governance & Voting Compliance

We verify your upgrade proposal adheres to your DAO's on-chain governance rules, ensuring quorum, voting duration, and execution parameters are legally binding and tamper-proof.

State & Storage Integrity

Comprehensive analysis to guarantee user funds, NFT ownership, and protocol state are preserved post-upgrade. We prevent catastrophic data loss or corruption.

Choosing the Right Security Model

Compliance Check vs. Traditional Security Audit

A direct comparison of our specialized Smart Contract Upgrade Compliance Check service against a standard, one-time security audit. Understand the key differences in scope, process, and value for managing protocol evolution.

Security FocusCompliance CheckTraditional Audit

Scope & Goal

Verifies upgrade logic, storage layout, and governance compliance for a specific new version.

Broad security review of a single contract version for general vulnerabilities.

Process

Automated diff analysis + targeted manual review against original audit findings.

Full manual code review from first principles.

Time to Report

3-5 business days

2-4 weeks

Cost Efficiency

60-80% less than a full re-audit; priced for iterative development.

Fixed, high cost for each new version audited.

Output

Focused report on upgrade-specific risks and compliance status.

Comprehensive vulnerability report for the standalone codebase.

Ideal For

Teams with audited V1 code who need to ship V2, V3... quickly and safely.

Teams launching a net-new, unaudited smart contract system.

Prevents

Upgrade-induced bugs, storage collisions, and governance bypasses.

Common vulnerabilities like reentrancy, overflow, and logic errors.

Ongoing Value

Creates a verifiable upgrade lineage and reduces risk per deployment.

One-time snapshot of security at a point in time.

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts tailored to your protocol's exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable core of your application. Our development process is built on audited best practices using Solidity 0.8+ and OpenZeppelin libraries, ensuring your logic is both powerful and protected from day one.

From tokenomics to governance, we translate your business rules into bulletproof on-chain code.

  • Token Systems: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 implementations with minting, vesting, and staking logic.
  • DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and yield aggregators.
  • Governance & DAOs: Secure voting mechanisms, treasury management, and proposal systems.
  • Enterprise Logic: Complex multi-signature workflows, access control, and cross-chain asset management.

We deliver fully documented, gas-optimized contracts ready for audit, with a typical MVP delivery in 2-4 weeks. Our code is your foundation.
