Frequently Asked Questions on Move Module Upgrades
Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating our Aptos & Sui Move Module Upgrade Tooling service.
Our standard engagement follows a fixed-scope, fixed-timeline model. From kickoff to mainnet deployment, a typical upgrade for a single module takes 2-4 weeks. This includes a 1-week discovery/audit phase, 1-2 weeks for development and internal testing, and a final week for client testing and deployment orchestration. For multi-module or complex protocol upgrades, we provide a custom timeline during the initial scoping call.
