Trade Finance Platform Migration Services

Specialized, secure migration of your trade finance operations and data from legacy or incumbent blockchain systems to modern, scalable, and cost-effective protocols.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your dApp.

We architect, develop, and audit custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the immutable business logic of your protocol. Our focus is on security-first development, utilizing established patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits to mitigate risks before deployment.

Deliver a secure, gas-optimized foundation that users and investors can trust.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored ERC-20, ERC-721, and bespoke token standards.
  • DeFi Primitives: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending pools, staking mechanisms.
  • Gas Optimization: Reduce user transaction costs by up to 40% through efficient code patterns.
  • Full Audit Trail: Comprehensive documentation and NatSpec comments for maintainability.

We manage the entire lifecycle—from initial design and Hardhat/Foundry testing to deployment and verification on mainnet. Get a production-ready MVP in as little as 3 weeks, backed by our team's experience deploying over $500M+ in on-chain value.

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications and deployed on-chain.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and full audit readiness from day one.

  • Custom Logic: Build on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke protocols.
  • Security Focus: Every contract undergoes internal review against common vulnerabilities before external audit.
  • Deployment & Verification: We handle mainnet deployment, contract verification on Etherscan, and initial testing.

Move from concept to a live, secure contract in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.

We provide a complete delivery package:

  • Full Source Code with comprehensive documentation.
  • Deployment Scripts and environment configuration.
  • Post-launch Support for upgrades and maintenance.
Technical & Commercial Considerations

Trade Finance Migration FAQs

Common questions from CTOs and product leads evaluating a blockchain migration for trade finance operations.

A standard trade finance platform migration takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1-2 weeks for discovery and smart contract design, 2-4 weeks for development and internal testing, and 1-2 weeks for client UAT and security audit integration. Complex integrations with existing ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) can extend this by 2-3 weeks.
