overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact business logic and compliance requirements.
We don't just write code; we engineer systems that are secure by design, gas-optimized, and ready for mainnet deployment.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial specification and architecture to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
- Security-First Approach: All code follows
OpenZeppelinstandards and undergoes rigorous internal review before third-party audit. - Protocol-Specific Expertise: Custom implementations for
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, staking mechanisms, governance modules, and bespoke DeFi logic. - Integration Ready: Contracts are built with clear interfaces for easy integration with your frontend and backend systems.

Business Outcomes of a Strategic L2 Migration
A well-executed migration to a Layer 2 is a strategic business decision. We architect your move to deliver concrete, bottom-line results, not just technical upgrades.
01
Radically Lower Transaction Costs
We architect your protocol to leverage L2's inherent cost advantages, reducing user transaction fees by 90-99% compared to Ethereum mainnet. This directly improves user acquisition and retention.

The Strategic Choice for Your Protocol's Future
DIY Migration vs. Partnering with Chainscore Labs
Migrating a live DeFi protocol to an L2 is a high-stakes engineering challenge. This table compares the resource investment, risk, and outcomes of managing the process internally versus leveraging our specialized migration framework.
| Migration Factor | DIY In-House Migration | Partnering with Chainscore Labs |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production Launch | 4-9 months | 6-10 weeks |
Upfront Engineering Cost | $250K - $600K+ | Fixed project fee |
Security & Audit Overhead | Your responsibility | End-to-end audit coverage |
Bridge & Messaging Layer Risk | High (custom integration) | Mitigated (proven adapters) |
TVL & User Migration Strategy | Manual planning required | Automated, phased migration plan |
Post-Migration Support & SLA | Internal team burden | Included 90-day warranty + optional SLA |
Total Year 1 Cost (Est.) | $300K - $750K+ | $80K - $200K |
Key Outcome | High risk, full control | Reduced risk, accelerated growth |

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Phased Migration Delivery Process
We execute DeFi protocol migrations with a structured, risk-mitigated approach. Our phased delivery ensures zero downtime, asset safety, and seamless user transition from L1 to L2.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Strategy
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing L1 protocol and design a tailored L2 migration blueprint. This includes selecting the optimal L2 stack (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync), defining the bridge architecture, and planning for liquidity migration.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Migration
Our engineers refactor and deploy your core logic (AMMs, lending pools, staking) to the target L2. We implement gas-optimized Solidity/Vyper contracts, maintain state consistency, and integrate secure cross-chain messaging (LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole).

Phase 3: Testing & Security Audit
Every migrated module undergoes rigorous testing: unit, integration, and forked mainnet simulations. We facilitate a formal security audit with partners like Spearbit or Code4rena before mainnet deployment, ensuring fund safety.

DeFi L2 Migration: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and founders planning a Layer 2 migration for their DeFi protocol.
Our standard migration process takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes 1 week for architecture review and planning, 2-3 weeks for core contract migration and testing, and 1-2 weeks for security audits and final deployment. Complex protocols with custom bridges or novel tokenomics may extend to 8 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart at project start.
