Strategic Comparison
In-House vs. Chainscore-Guided Migration
A detailed breakdown of the risks, costs, and outcomes associated with managing a cross-chain protocol migration internally versus partnering with Chainscore's specialized team.
| Migration Factor | Build In-House | Chainscore-Guided |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Engineering Cost | $200K-$500K | $50K-$150K |
Security & Audit Risk | High (unaudited code) | Low (pre-audited patterns, formal verification) |
Protocol Expertise Required | Your team must learn new standards (e.g., CCIP, LayerZero, Axelar) | Our team provides proven migration frameworks |
Post-Migration Support | Your responsibility | Optional 24/7 SLA with <4h response |
Guaranteed Uptime SLA | None | 99.9% |
Cross-Chain Test Coverage | Manual, limited environments | Automated testing across 10+ devnets & testnets |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K-$700K+ | $75K-$200K |

PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our 4-Phase Migration Methodology
A structured, risk-mitigated approach to migrating your protocol's liquidity and users to a new interoperability standard without service disruption or capital loss.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Strategy Audit
We conduct a deep technical audit of your existing bridge or interoperability layer, mapping all smart contracts, dependencies, and user flows. This phase delivers a comprehensive risk assessment and a detailed migration blueprint.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration & Testing
Our team develops and deploys the new bridge contracts (e.g., Axelar GMP, LayerZero OFT, Wormhole) with rigorous unit, integration, and fork testing. Includes a full security review against reentrancy and oracle manipulation.

Phase 3: Staged Liquidity Migration
We execute a phased, monitored migration of TVL and user positions using a dual-bridge model. This ensures zero downtime, allows for rollback if needed, and provides real-time analytics on migration progress.

Migration Strategy FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and technical founders planning a protocol migration. Our answers are based on 30+ successful cross-chain and upgrade projects.
We follow a structured 4-phase methodology proven across 50+ projects:
- Discovery & Audit (1-2 weeks): We conduct a full technical audit of your current protocol, map dependencies, and define migration goals.
- Strategy & Architecture (1-2 weeks): We design the target-state architecture, select the optimal interoperability protocol (LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole, etc.), and create a detailed migration blueprint.
- Execution & Testing (3-6 weeks): Our engineers execute the migration, building and deploying smart contracts, bridges, and governance modules. This includes comprehensive unit, integration, and staging environment testing.
- Launch & Support (Ongoing): We manage the mainnet deployment, coordinate with validators, and provide 90 days of post-launch bug-fix support with optional extended SLAs.
