We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our engineers specialize in Solidity 0.8+, Rust, and Move, implementing OpenZeppelin standards and gas-optimized patterns from day one.
Legacy DAO Multi-Chain Migration Service
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes internal audits and formal verification before deployment.
- Full-Stack Integration: We ensure seamless interaction with your frontend and backend via
ethers.jsorviem. - Proven Delivery: Typical project timelines: 2 weeks for an MVP, 6-8 weeks for a full protocol.
We don't just write code; we deliver audited, mainnet-ready systems with documented upgrade paths and emergency response plans.
Our End-to-End Migration Framework
A systematic, low-risk process designed to migrate your DAO's governance, treasury, and community to new chains without disrupting operations or compromising security.
Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit
We analyze your existing DAO's smart contracts, governance parameters, and tokenomics to identify risks, dependencies, and create a detailed migration blueprint. This ensures zero surprises during execution.
Multi-Chain Smart Contract Deployment
Deploy audited, upgradeable governance and treasury contracts to your target chains (Ethereum L2s, Solana, Cosmos, etc.) using our battle-tested templates, ensuring consistency and security across all networks.
Secure Treasury & Token Migration
Orchestrate the safe transfer of assets using multi-sig timelocks and verifiable bridging protocols. We provide full transparency and a rollback contingency plan for every transaction.
Governance State Synchronization
Mirror active proposals, voting power, and member permissions to the new chain. We preserve proposal history and ensure a seamless transition for all DAO participants.
Post-Migration Verification & Monitoring
Conduct final security checks, verify on-chain state accuracy, and provide 30 days of proactive monitoring with alerts for any governance or treasury anomalies.
Documentation & Community Onboarding
Deliver complete technical documentation and guide your community through the new multi-chain interface. We ensure every member understands the new governance process.
Why Migrate Your DAO with Chainscore
Legacy DAO migration is a high-stakes operation. We deliver a seamless, secure transition with zero governance downtime and full asset integrity.
Zero Governance Downtime
Our phased migration strategy ensures your DAO's voting, treasury management, and proposals remain fully operational throughout the entire process. No frozen assets or halted decisions.
Battle-Tested Security Framework
Every migration follows our certified security protocol, including comprehensive pre-migration audits, multi-sig escrow for assets, and on-chain verification of all state transfers.
Multi-Chain Governance Unification
Consolidate fragmented DAO operations from L1s and L2s into a single, coherent governance layer. We support migrations from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and other EVM chains.
Automated State & History Porting
We automate the migration of proposal history, member roles, treasury snapshots, and voting power. Your community retains its full historical context and legitimacy on the new chain.
Post-Migration Support & Monitoring
Receive 90 days of dedicated monitoring, including governance analytics, performance dashboards, and on-call technical support to ensure a smooth post-launch period.
Proven Migration Playbook
Leverage our documented methodology refined over 40+ successful DAO migrations. We provide a clear roadmap, stakeholder communications template, and contingency plans.

Our Methodology: Risk-Managed Execution
We execute multi-chain DAO migrations with a zero-downtime, security-first approach. Our phased methodology minimizes disruption and eliminates governance risk.
Phase 1: Governance & State Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing DAO's governance rules, treasury allocations, and on-chain state. This creates a deterministic migration blueprint, ensuring no member rights or token balances are altered.
Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration
Deploying audited, upgradeable governance contracts (Governor, Timelock, Treasury) on the target chain(s). We use a canary deployment strategy, migrating sub-DAOs or a portion of treasury first to validate the new system.
Phase 3: Live Cutover & Validation
We orchestrate the final migration of remaining assets and member permissions. Our tooling performs real-time balance reconciliation across chains and executes the governance handoff, ensuring continuous proposal voting.
Phase 4: Post-Migration Support
We provide 30 days of monitoring, analytics, and on-call support for the new multi-chain DAO. Includes dashboards for cross-chain governance participation and treasury health across all deployed networks.
Legacy DAO Migration: Key Questions Answered
Get specific answers on timelines, costs, security, and outcomes for migrating your DAO to a modern, multi-chain framework.
A complete migration from legacy frameworks like Aragon v1 or MolochDAO typically takes 3-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture and governance mapping, 2-3 weeks for smart contract development and testing, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and deployment. We've delivered over 30 DAO migrations, with the fastest project completed in 18 days.
