Upgradeable Proxy Pattern Versioning Solutions

End-to-end management of versioning, storage, and dependency tracking for smart contracts using proxy/beacon patterns, including immutable version history and secure upgrade path orchestration.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.

We architect, develop, and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure backbone of your dApp. Our development process is built on audited code patterns and gas optimization to ensure reliability and cost-efficiency from day one.

From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your business requirements into immutable, on-chain functionality.

  • Protocols & Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom implementations.
  • Security First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards, with pre-audit reviews and formal verification.
  • Deliverables: Complete contract suite, deployment scripts, and comprehensive documentation.

ENTERPRISE-GRADE UPGRADEABILITY

Core Capabilities of Our Versioning System

Our proxy pattern implementation delivers secure, seamless, and cost-effective smart contract evolution, ensuring your protocol can adapt without compromising security or user trust.

01

Transparent Upgrade Management

Full control over upgrade logic with a clear, auditable history of all contract versions. We implement UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard) or Transparent Proxy patterns to suit your governance model.

Audit Coverage
Zero Downtime
Upgrade Execution
02

Immutable Storage Layouts

Guaranteed data integrity across upgrades. Our system enforces strict storage collision checks and migration scripts to prevent data loss, protecting user funds and state.
