Strategic Infrastructure Decision
Build vs. Buy: Custom Move Module vs. Generic EVM Fork
A technical and commercial comparison for teams deciding between developing a custom governance module on Move or forking an existing EVM solution.
| Key Factor | Build Custom Move Module In-House | Fork Generic EVM Contract | Chainscore Move Governance Module |
|---|---|---|---|
Time to Production | 4-6 months | 2-3 months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $50K - $100K | $75K - $150K |
Security Posture | High risk (requires full audit) | Medium risk (inherits fork's vulnerabilities) | Low risk (pre-audited, battle-tested patterns) |
Chain-Native Optimization | Maximum (designed for Aptos/Sui) | Minimal (EVM paradigm mismatch) | High (optimized for Move VM & on-chain storage) |
Gas Efficiency & Performance | Potentially optimal | Suboptimal for Move chains | Optimized for Move execution & storage |
Upgradeability & Maintenance | Your team's ongoing burden | Limited by forked codebase | Managed service with optional SLA |
Feature Customization | Complete control | Constrained by EVM logic | Tailored to your tokenomics & DAO rules |
Long-Term Total Cost (Year 1) | $300K+ | $100K - $200K | $100K - $180K (all-inclusive) |
Team Expertise Required | Deep Move/Aptos/Sui proficiency | Solidity/EVM proficiency | Minimal (we handle the Move complexity) |
Time-to-Value for Users | Slow (lengthy dev cycle) | Medium (faster deploy, worse UX) | Fast (rapid deploy, superior UX) |

PROVEN PROCESS
Our Development & Audit Methodology
We deliver secure, production-ready Move governance modules through a rigorous, multi-stage process designed for enterprise-grade reliability and rapid deployment.
01
Architecture & Specification
We begin with a formal specification of your governance logic, including proposal types, voting mechanisms, and upgrade paths. This phase ensures alignment with your tokenomics and reduces development rework.

Frequently Asked Questions on Move Governance
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for developing a custom governance module with Move.
A standard governance module with core features (proposal creation, voting, execution) typically takes 3-5 weeks from spec to testnet deployment. Complex integrations (e.g., multi-chain execution, quadratic voting) can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial discovery phase.
