We architect and deploy battle-tested smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and upgradeable. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit testing, formal verification, and third-party audits to mitigate risk.
Legacy Mobile Game Blockchain Migration
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your token, DeFi, or NFT project.
From token launches to complex DeFi logic, we deliver contracts you can trust to handle real value.
- Standard Token Contracts: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155implementations with minting, vesting, and governance modules. - DeFi & DEX Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), liquidity pools, staking systems, and yield aggregators.
- Security First: Every contract undergoes static analysis, fuzz testing, and audit review before mainnet deployment.
- Full Ownership & Documentation: You receive all source code, technical specs, and deployment scripts for complete autonomy.
Our Migration Engineering Capabilities
We execute legacy game migration with a battle-tested, four-phase engineering framework designed for zero downtime and maximum player retention. Our systematic approach de-risks the transition and ensures your live economy remains stable.
Architecture & Smart Contract Design
We architect and deploy custom, gas-optimized smart contracts (ERC-20, ERC-1155) that mirror your game's economy. Includes on-chain logic for in-game assets, staking, and marketplace interactions, built with OpenZeppelin standards.
Data Migration & Bridge Development
Secure, verifiable migration of player inventories and state from legacy databases to the blockchain. We build custom, audited bridging solutions to ensure asset parity and a seamless transition for your entire user base.
Backend Integration & API Layer
Development of a robust backend service layer (Node.js/Python) that interfaces your existing game servers with the new blockchain infrastructure. We provide a unified API for real-time on-chain data and transaction management.
Security Audits & Final Deployment
Comprehensive smart contract and system audits conducted by third-party security firms prior to mainnet launch. We manage the final deployment, monitoring, and provide post-launch support with 24/7 incident response.
Business Outcomes of a Successful Migration
Migrating your legacy mobile game to a modern blockchain stack isn't just a technical upgrade—it's a strategic business move. We deliver concrete, measurable outcomes that directly impact your revenue, player engagement, and operational efficiency.
New Revenue Streams & Monetization
Unlock player-driven economies with tradable in-game assets (NFTs) and secondary market royalties. Implement on-chain subscription models, battle passes, and staking rewards that create sustainable, recurring revenue beyond the initial purchase.
Enhanced Player Engagement & Retention
True digital ownership of assets increases player investment and session times. Introduce provably fair play-to-earn mechanics, cross-game interoperability, and community governance to build a loyal, long-term player base.
Reduced Operational Costs & Fraud
Eliminate centralized server costs for asset ownership and trading. Automate payouts and royalties with smart contracts. Drastically reduce chargeback fraud, account hacking, and black-market trading through transparent, immutable ledgers.
Future-Proof Technical Foundation
Move from a closed, proprietary system to an open, modular blockchain stack (e.g., Polygon, Immutable zkEVM). Gain access to a vast ecosystem of wallets, marketplaces, and tooling, enabling rapid feature iteration and community-driven development.
Provable Fairness & Trust
Build unparalleled player trust with fully transparent and auditable game mechanics. Every loot box drop, match outcome, and leaderboard ranking is verifiable on-chain, eliminating accusations of manipulation and building community confidence.
Competitive Market Differentiation
Stand out in a crowded market by offering Web3-native features that competitors cannot match. Attract a new demographic of crypto-native players and position your game as a leader in the next generation of interactive entertainment.
In-House vs. Chainscore Migration
A cost and capability comparison for migrating your legacy mobile game's economy to a blockchain backend.

|---|---|---|
Time to Live (Mainnet) | 6-12 months | 4-8 weeks |
Upfront Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K |
Smart Contract Security | High Risk (Unaudited) | Enterprise Audited (OpenZeppelin) |
Team Expertise Required | Senior Solidity, DevOps, Security | Your Core Team + Our Specialists |
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates | Full internal team burden | Optional SLA with 24/7 Monitoring |
Multi-Chain Strategy Support | Complex, custom integration | Pre-built adapters for 10+ L1/L2s |
Player Onboarding (Wallets) | Build from scratch | Plug-and-play SDK with email/social login |
Total Year 1 Cost (Est.) | $350K - $750K | $80K - $200K |
Our Phased, Low-Risk Migration Process
We de-risk your transition to Web3 with a structured, incremental approach. Each phase delivers tangible value while isolating technical and market risks, ensuring your core game economy remains stable and profitable.
Phase 1: Strategic Assessment & Blueprint
We conduct a full audit of your existing game economy, tokenomics, and backend. Deliverables include a detailed migration roadmap, smart contract architecture, and a go-to-market strategy for your new digital assets.
Phase 2: Sidechain MVP & Asset Minting
Deploy a dedicated, high-throughput EVM sidechain (Polygon, Arbitrum Nova) for initial testing. We mint your first NFTs/FTs as 1:1 digital twins of in-game items with zero impact on your live servers.
Phase 3: Hybrid Economy Integration
Integrate read-only blockchain data into your game client. Enable players to view and verify their on-chain assets without committing to irreversible transactions, building trust and familiarity.
Phase 4: Live On-Chain Transactions
Activate secure write functions. Players can now truly own, trade, and use assets across supported games and marketplaces. Includes deployment of a custom marketplace and bridge contracts.
Phase 5: Scaling & Interoperability
Expand your asset's utility. We implement cross-chain bridges (LayerZero, Axelar), integrate with major DEXs/Aggregators, and develop SDKs for community-driven game development using your IP.
Ongoing: LiveOps & Analytics
We provide 24/7 monitoring, on-chain analytics dashboards, and smart contract upgrade management. Propose liveops campaigns based on real-time holder data and market trends.
