A STRUCTURED APPROACH
Our Migration Methodology for Complex DeFi Systems
We execute high-stakes protocol migrations with surgical precision, ensuring zero downtime, preserved user funds, and seamless continuity for your protocol and its community.
01
Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit & Analysis
We perform a deep technical and economic analysis of your existing system, mapping all state, dependencies, and user positions. This identifies risks and creates a deterministic migration blueprint, preventing costly oversights.

Deterministic State Migration Engine
Our custom tooling performs automated, verifiable snapshots and migrations of user balances, LP positions, and governance power. Every action is logged on-chain for complete auditability and user verification.

03
Phased Rollout with Canary Deployment
We mitigate risk by deploying the new system in phases, starting with a canary group of whitelisted users. This allows for real-world validation and bug bounties before full user migration is enabled.

Post-Migration Verification & Support
After cutover, we provide 24/7 monitoring dashboards, conduct a final security review of the live system, and offer extended support to ensure stability. We guarantee the new system operates as specified.

Technical & Process Questions
Smart Contract Migration FAQs
Answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating a migration partner for their DeFi protocol.
A standard migration for a protocol with 5-10 core contracts takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture review, 1-2 weeks for development and internal testing, 1 week for client QA, and 1 week for audits and final deployment. Complex protocols with custom bridges or novel mechanisms can extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart during the scoping phase.
