We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive testing suites to ensure reliability and prevent costly exploits.
Legacy to Decentralized Storage Migration
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by expert Solidity engineers.
- Full-Stack Development: From
ERC-20tokens andERC-721NFTs to complex DeFi protocols and DAO governance systems. - Rigorous Audits: Every contract undergoes internal review and is prepared for third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
- Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs for your users, a critical factor for adoption.
We deliver battle-tested contracts that power your product, not just code that compiles. Our focus is on security, efficiency, and maintainability from day one.
Our Migration Service Capabilities
We manage the complete transition from legacy systems to decentralized storage, ensuring data integrity, security, and performance without disrupting your operations.
Business Outcomes of a Decentralized Storage Migration
Migrating from legacy systems to decentralized storage with Chainscore delivers measurable improvements in cost, resilience, and performance. We architect solutions that directly impact your bottom line and operational security.
Radical Cost Reduction
Eliminate recurring cloud vendor lock-in and unpredictable egress fees. Our migration to protocols like Filecoin and Arweave delivers predictable, long-term storage costs that are up to 90% lower than traditional cloud providers for archival data.
Unbreakable Data Integrity
Replace centralized single points of failure with globally distributed, cryptographically verified storage. Data is secured via content-addressing (CIDs) and replicated across hundreds of independent nodes, ensuring permanent availability and tamper-proof records.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Architect data storage that meets GDPR right-to-erasure requirements and financial audit trails through programmable data retention policies and zero-knowledge proofs. We build compliant-by-design systems for sensitive FinTech and enterprise data.
Enhanced Application Performance
Serve user-generated content, NFTs, and static assets with sub-100ms global latency via decentralized CDNs like IPFS. Decouple your application's performance from a single cloud region, improving user experience and reducing bandwidth costs.
Future-Proof Data Architecture
Build on open protocols instead of proprietary APIs. Our migrations create interoperable, vendor-neutral data layers that seamlessly integrate with multi-chain applications, AI data pipelines, and emerging Web3 standards.
Accelerated Time-to-Market
Leverage our battle-tested migration frameworks and tooling for Filecoin, Arweave, and IPFS. We deliver production-ready storage systems in weeks, not months, with full documentation and developer onboarding.
Build vs. Buy: In-House Migration vs. Chainscore Managed Service
A detailed comparison of the total cost, risk, and time commitment for migrating legacy data to decentralized storage like Arweave, Filecoin, or IPFS.
| Migration Factor | Build In-House Team | Chainscore Managed Service |
|---|---|---|

Upfront Engineering Cost | $150K - $400K+ | $25K - $75K |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (Your responsibility) | Included (Pre-audited patterns) |
Protocol Expertise Required | Must hire/develop specialists | Provided by our team |
Ongoing Infrastructure Management | Your DevOps team | Fully managed with 99.9% SLA |
Risk of Data Corruption/Loss | Moderate to High | Minimal (Validated migration) |
Support for Multi-Protocol Strategy | Complex to implement | Standard offering (Arweave, Filecoin, IPFS) |
Total Year 1 Cost (Est.) | $300K - $750K+ | $80K - $200K |
Our Proven 5-Phase Migration Methodology
We de-risk your transition from legacy systems to decentralized storage with a battle-tested, step-by-step process. This methodology ensures zero data loss, minimal downtime, and predictable outcomes for your business.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture Audit
We conduct a comprehensive analysis of your existing data architecture, dependencies, and compliance requirements. This phase delivers a detailed migration blueprint, including cost projections and a risk assessment for your specific use case.
Phase 2: Strategy & Smart Contract Design
We design and deploy the core smart contracts for data anchoring, access control, and incentive mechanisms. Contracts are built with OpenZeppelin libraries and follow security best practices for IPFS, Filecoin, or Arweave integrations.
Phase 3: Pilot Migration & Validation
We execute a controlled migration of a non-critical data subset. This phase validates the architecture, performance benchmarks, and data integrity proofs on the target decentralized network before full-scale deployment.
Phase 4: Full Production Migration
We orchestrate the complete, automated migration of your production data with real-time monitoring and rollback capabilities. Our tooling ensures consistent upload speeds and verifiable on-chain proofs for every data segment.
Phase 5: Optimization & Handover
We fine-tune the system for cost-efficiency and performance, provide comprehensive documentation, and train your team on the new infrastructure. This includes setting up monitoring dashboards and defining operational runbooks.
Legacy Storage Migration: Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and outcomes for migrating from AWS S3, Google Cloud, or on-premise systems to decentralized storage like IPFS, Arweave, or Filecoin.
Our standard migration timeline is 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture planning and data mapping, 1-2 weeks for the core migration and integration build, and 1 week for testing and go-live. Complex migrations involving petabytes of data or custom access control logic may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones within the first 3 days of engagement.
