Sandbox Migration from Testnet to Mainnet Compliance

A structured service to audit, validate, and execute the compliance-ready migration of your tested application from a sandbox or testnet environment to a production mainnet deployment.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
BUILD

Custom Blockchain Development

End-to-end blockchain application development for FinTech and Web3 startups.

We architect and build production-grade blockchain systems from the ground up. Our full-stack development delivers a complete, audited application—from smart contracts and backends to user interfaces—in as little as 6-8 weeks.

We don't just write code; we deliver a secure, scalable, and investor-ready product.

  • Smart Contracts: Custom Solidity/Rust development for EVM, Solana, or Cosmos with OpenZeppelin security patterns and comprehensive unit testing.
  • Backend & APIs: Robust Node.js/Python services for transaction orchestration, indexing, and real-time data feeds.
  • Frontend: Modern, responsive dApp interfaces using React/Next.js with integrated wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect).
  • DevOps & Deployment: Automated CI/CD, containerization, and deployment to AWS/GCP with monitoring and alerting configured.

AUDIT-READY METHODOLOGY

Our Migration Process: Structured for Compliance

Our phased, documented approach ensures your mainnet launch meets regulatory and security standards, providing a clear audit trail for stakeholders and auditors.

01

Pre-Migration Audit & Gap Analysis

Comprehensive review of your testnet deployment against mainnet compliance requirements (e.g., OFAC sanctions screening, data privacy laws). We deliver a prioritized remediation report.

A PROVEN, FOUR-PHASE APPROACH

Our Methodology: The Chainscore Migration Framework

Our battle-tested framework ensures your smart contracts transition from testnet to mainnet with zero downtime, full compliance, and ironclad security. We've migrated over $1.2B in on-chain assets for clients.

01

Phase 1: Pre-Migration Audit & Analysis

We conduct a comprehensive security and compliance review of your testnet contracts and deployment pipeline. This includes gas optimization analysis, vulnerability scanning, and mainnet readiness assessment.

Deliverable: A detailed audit report with prioritized action items and a final Go/No-Go decision.

Phase 2: Security Hardening & Finalization

Based on audit findings, we implement fixes, upgrade to production-grade libraries (OpenZeppelin), and integrate formal verification tools. We establish immutable contract addresses and finalize all configuration parameters.

Deliverable: Hardened, version-locked smart contracts ready for mainnet deployment.

Phase 3: Staged Deployment & Verification

We execute a controlled, multi-signature deployment to the target mainnet (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.). Each step is verified on-chain, followed by functional and integration testing against the live network.

Deliverable: Fully operational contracts on mainnet with verified source code and a deployment verification report.

Sandbox Migration

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our process, security, and support for moving your protocol from testnet to mainnet with full compliance.

A standard sandbox-to-mainnet migration takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. This includes final security audits, configuration, and a phased go-live process. Complex protocols with custom bridges or multi-chain deployments may require 5-6 weeks.
