Our End-to-End Migration Process
A proven, phased methodology to de-risk your transition from legacy mobile infrastructure to a secure, scalable decentralized architecture. We manage the entire lifecycle from assessment to post-launch support.
Architecture Assessment & Strategy
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing mobile stack, identifying migration risks and dependencies. Our team delivers a phased roadmap with clear technical specifications and success metrics for your decentralized mobile app.
Smart Contract & Backend Migration
Our engineers migrate core business logic to audited smart contracts (Solidity/Rust) and rebuild backend services as serverless, blockchain-interfacing APIs. We ensure data integrity and implement secure key management systems.
Decentralized Mobile SDK Integration
We integrate and customize WalletConnect v2, ethers.js, or Web3Auth SDKs into your native (Swift/Kotlin) or cross-platform (React Native/Flutter) mobile app. Focus is on seamless UX for onboarding, signing, and gasless transactions.
Staged Deployment & Monitoring
We deploy to testnets (Goerli, Sepolia) for UAT, followed by a phased mainnet rollout. Our 24/7 monitoring dashboard tracks on-chain transactions, node health, API latency, and user error rates in real-time.
Post-Launch Support & Optimization
Receive 30 days of included support for bug fixes and performance tuning. We provide analytics on user adoption and gas spending, with optional retainer services for feature upgrades and scaling.
Business Outcomes of a Decentralized Mobile Backend
Migrating from a centralized mobile backend to a decentralized architecture delivers measurable improvements in cost, performance, and user trust. Here’s what our clients achieve.
Radical Cost Reduction
Eliminate ongoing cloud hosting, database, and middleware licensing fees. With decentralized storage and serverless compute, you pay only for the transactions your users make, reducing backend operational costs by up to 70%.
Unbreakable Uptime & Resilience
Decouple from single points of failure. Leverage globally distributed networks like IPFS and Arweave for storage and decentralized oracles for data feeds, achieving 99.9%+ availability without managing server clusters.
Enhanced User Trust & Data Sovereignty
Users own their data via non-custodial wallets and encrypted storage. This transparent, user-centric model builds unparalleled trust and reduces liability from data breaches, a key differentiator for FinTech apps.
Faster Feature Velocity
Deploy new features in days, not months. Our modular backend components—like token-gated access, on-chain notifications, and wallet abstraction—integrate via SDKs, accelerating your time-to-market for Web3 features.
Scalable, Censorship-Resistant Infrastructure
Automatically scale with user demand on decentralized networks. Ensure your app remains accessible and functional globally, resistant to regional restrictions or centralized service takedowns.
Centralized vs. Decentralized Mobile Backend: A Technical Comparison
A detailed comparison of technical and operational factors to consider when migrating from a legacy, centralized mobile backend to a decentralized architecture powered by blockchain.
| Technical Factor | Legacy Centralized Backend | Chainscore Decentralized Backend |
|---|---|---|
Data Ownership & Control | Vendor-locked, opaque data policies | User-owned wallets, transparent on-chain data |
Infrastructure Cost (Annual) | $50K-$200K+ (servers, DB, CDN) | $15K-$80K (predictable gas & service fees) |
Time to Deploy Core Features | 3-6 months (full-stack dev) | 4-8 weeks (pre-audited smart contract modules) |
Security Model | Central point of failure, perimeter defense | Cryptographically signed transactions, battle-tested protocols |
API Latency (P95) | 50-200ms (regional servers) | 1-3s (global blockchain consensus) |
Uptime & Reliability SLA | 99.5%-99.9% (managed service dependent) | Inherits underlying chain uptime (e.g., >99.9% for L2s) |
Compliance & Audit Trail | Manual logging, potential for tampering | Immutable, timestamped on-chain record |
Team Skillset Required | Cloud DevOps, DB Admins, Backend Engineers | Web3 SDK integration, Smart Contract interaction |
Scalability Bottleneck | Database sharding, server auto-scaling | Underlying blockchain throughput (e.g., 10K+ TPS on L2s) |
Total Cost of Ownership (3 Years) | High (ongoing ops, scaling, security) | Predictable, shifts cost to protocol layer |
Our Phased Migration Methodology
We execute your mobile app's transition from legacy to decentralized infrastructure with zero downtime. Our proven, step-by-step approach ensures data integrity, user retention, and continuous operation throughout the migration lifecycle.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing mobile stack, mapping APIs, data models, and user flows. Our team designs a hybrid architecture blueprint, identifying which components to decentralize first (e.g., user authentication, payment rails, data storage) for maximum impact with minimal disruption.
Phase 2: Hybrid Integration Layer
We build and deploy a secure, scalable middleware layer that bridges your legacy mobile backend with new Web3 services (wallets, smart contracts, oracles). This allows for gradual feature migration, enabling users to interact with both systems seamlessly during the transition.
Phase 3: Incremental Feature Migration
We migrate high-value features one module at a time—starting with non-critical paths like loyalty points (ERC-20) or NFT avatars (ERC-721). Each migrated module undergoes rigorous testing in staging, with canary releases to a subset of your production user base to validate performance and security.
Phase 4: Full Decentralization & Decommission
Once all core functionalities are live on the decentralized stack, we execute the final cutover. We ensure all user data is ported, legacy systems are securely decommissioned, and the new mobile app operates entirely on its optimized Web3 infrastructure, with comprehensive monitoring in place.
Frequently Asked Questions on Legacy to Decentralized Mobile Migration
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical details for migrating your mobile app's backend to a secure, decentralized architecture.
Our standard migration projects are delivered in 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your existing backend and the target blockchain features. A typical breakdown includes: 1-2 weeks for architecture design and smart contract development, 2-4 weeks for integration and mobile SDK implementation, and 1-2 weeks for testing, security audits, and deployment. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
