We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our engineers specialize in Solidity, Rust (Solana), and Cairo (Starknet), delivering gas-optimized and audit-ready code from day one.
Insurance Protocol Migration Service
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Security-First Development: Contracts built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries and undergo internal peer review before deployment. - Full-Stack Integration: We handle the entire lifecycle—development, testing (
Hardhat/Foundry), and deployment to mainnet. - Time-to-Market: Go from spec to live prototype in under 3 weeks with our agile delivery process.
We don't just write code; we deliver the secure, scalable foundation your Web3 product needs to launch and grow.
Our Migration Methodology
Our structured 5-phase approach minimizes risk and ensures a seamless, secure transition for your insurance protocol. We deliver predictable timelines and zero downtime.
Phase 1: Discovery & Audit
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing smart contracts and business logic. This includes a security review, gas analysis, and dependency mapping to build a risk-mitigated migration plan.
Phase 2: Architecture & Design
Our architects design the target-state system, selecting optimal L1/L2 solutions (e.g., Arbitrum, Base) and defining upgradeable contract patterns. We ensure regulatory compliance for on-chain insurance.
Phase 3: Development & Testing
Our team builds and rigorously tests the new protocol using a multi-layered approach: unit tests, integration tests on forked mainnets, and simulated attack vectors.
Phase 4: Security & Formal Verification
All migrated contracts undergo formal verification and third-party audits by partners like CertiK or Quantstamp. We provide verifiable proof of functional correctness and security.
Phase 5: Deployment & Go-Live
We execute the migration with a zero-downtime strategy, using phased cutovers and real-time monitoring. Post-launch support includes on-chain analytics and incident response.
Phase 6: Post-Migration Optimization
We analyze post-migration performance, providing optimization reports for gas efficiency, user flow, and capital utilization. Continuous support for upgrades and scaling.
Business Outcomes of a Flawless Migration
A successful insurance protocol migration is measured by its impact on your business. We deliver concrete results that enhance security, accelerate growth, and protect your capital.
Zero Downtime & Uninterrupted Service
We execute migrations with a phased, zero-downtime strategy. Your users experience no service interruption, preserving trust and preventing revenue loss during the transition.
Capital Preservation & Risk Elimination
Our multi-signature, audited migration contracts ensure all user funds and policy data are transferred atomically. No funds are ever at risk of being lost or frozen in transit.
Reduced Gas Costs & Improved Efficiency
We optimize the new protocol architecture for gas efficiency, directly lowering operational costs for your treasury and improving the user experience for policyholders and underwriters.
Future-Proof Architecture
The new protocol is built with upgradeability and modularity in mind, enabling rapid integration of new insurance products (parametric, reinsurance) and oracle feeds without future disruptive migrations.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
We structure the migration to enhance on-chain transparency and audit trails, providing the immutable data provenance required for regulatory reporting and institutional adoption.

Our 4-Phase Migration Process
A proven, low-risk methodology for transitioning your insurance protocol to a modern, scalable, and secure blockchain architecture. We minimize downtime and ensure data integrity at every step.
Phase 1: Discovery & Audit
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing smart contracts, business logic, and data structures. This includes a security review, gas consumption analysis, and dependency mapping to create a detailed migration blueprint.
Deliverable: A complete audit report with risk assessment, migration strategy, and technical specification document.
Phase 2: Architecture & Development
Our engineers design the target architecture, selecting optimal standards (e.g., ERC-721 for parametric policies, ERC-1155 for bundled coverage). We develop new, audited contracts with enhanced features like multi-chain compatibility and oracle integrations.
Deliverable: A new, modular smart contract suite with full test coverage and staging environment deployment.
Phase 3: Staged Migration & Testing
We execute the migration in controlled stages, starting with a testnet fork of mainnet state. This includes data migration scripts, user balance verification, and rigorous integration testing to ensure policy logic and payouts function identically.
Deliverable: A fully functional staging environment with migrated data, passing all functional and security tests.
Phase 4: Mainnet Launch & Support
We manage the final mainnet cutover with a coordinated deployment strategy, including liquidity bridging, frontend updates, and real-time monitoring dashboards. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of dedicated support to ensure stability.
Deliverable: A live, migrated protocol on mainnet with comprehensive documentation and operational handover.
Insurance Protocol Migration FAQs
Get clear answers on timelines, security, and process for migrating your insurance protocol to a new blockchain or upgraded architecture.
A standard migration for a protocol with 5-10 core smart contracts typically takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture review, 2-3 weeks for development and internal testing, and 1 week for client testing and final deployment. Complex migrations with custom oracle integrations or novel risk models may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed, phase-gated project plan at the start of every engagement.
