Legacy System to Blockchain Migration

We design and execute the technical migration of asset records and management systems from legacy databases (SQL, Oracle) to a secure, immutable blockchain-based registry for RWA tokenization.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our team delivers custom logic on EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum) and Solana, ensuring gas efficiency and security from day one.

  • Full Development Lifecycle: From specification and Solidity/Rust coding to testing, deployment, and verification.
  • Security-First: Contracts are built with OpenZeppelin standards and undergo rigorous internal review before external audit.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, reduce gas costs by up to 40%, and deploy a secure MVP in as little as 3 weeks.

We don't just write code; we deliver the foundational, trustless logic that powers your product's core value proposition.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Migration Methodology

A structured, risk-mitigated approach to modernizing your financial infrastructure. We ensure zero downtime, data integrity, and a seamless transition from legacy systems to a scalable blockchain foundation.

01

Discovery & Architecture Design

We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing systems to map business logic, data flows, and dependencies. This phase defines the target blockchain architecture (EVM, Solana, Cosmos) and migration strategy.

Smart Contract Development & Audit

Our engineers build the core on-chain logic using Solidity, Rust, or CosmWasm. Every contract undergoes rigorous internal review and formal verification by third-party auditors like CertiK or Quantstamp before deployment.

Data Migration & Bridge Implementation

We design and execute secure, verifiable data migration pipelines. For hybrid systems, we implement robust, non-custodial bridges (e.g., Axelar, Wormhole) or custom oracles to ensure real-time sync between legacy and new systems.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Four-Phase Delivery Process

A structured, risk-mitigated approach to migrating your core business logic from legacy databases to a secure, scalable blockchain. We deliver a production-ready system, not just a proof-of-concept.

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture

We conduct a deep technical audit of your existing system to map data flows, business rules, and dependencies. This phase delivers a detailed migration blueprint, smart contract architecture, and a phased rollout plan with clear success metrics.

Phase 2: Core Smart Contract Development

Our senior Solidity engineers build your core business logic into audited, gas-optimized smart contracts. We implement upgradeability patterns (like Transparent Proxy) and integrate with Chainlink oracles for secure off-chain data.

Legacy Migration FAQs

Answers to the most common questions CTOs and engineering leads ask when planning a legacy system migration to blockchain.

Our standard migration projects deploy to mainnet in 6-12 weeks. The timeline is broken into phases: 2 weeks for architecture & planning, 3-6 weeks for core development and smart contract auditing, and 1-2 weeks for deployment and integration. Complex systems with extensive off-chain logic or multi-chain requirements may extend to 16 weeks. We provide a detailed, phase-gated project plan at kickoff.
