Technical & Commercial Considerations
Institutional Lending Migration FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and product leads evaluating a lending platform migration.
Our standard migration from platforms like Compound v2 or Aave v2 takes 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes 1 week for architecture review, 2-3 weeks for smart contract development and testing, and 1 week for security audit integration and deployment. Complex migrations with custom logic or multi-chain deployment may extend to 8 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart in our initial proposal.
