We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the backbone of your decentralized application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit trails.
Legacy Chat Platform Web3 Migration
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.
From concept to mainnet, we deliver contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and ready to scale.
- Token Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and custom implementations. - Protocol Logic: DEX/AMMs, staking systems, governance modules, and multi-signature wallets.
- Key Deliverables: Full test suite, deployment scripts, and technical documentation.
Core Integration Capabilities
We deliver the foundational Web3 components that modernize your chat platform, enabling new revenue streams and user experiences without disrupting your core service.
On-Chain Identity & Authentication
Seamlessly integrate wallet-based logins (SIWE) and attach verifiable credentials to user profiles. Migrate legacy user data to self-sovereign identities, enabling reputation portability and trustless interactions.
Token-Gated Communities & Content
Implement smart contract rules to restrict access to channels, premium content, or admin features based on NFT ownership or token balance. Monetize exclusive communities directly.
Decentralized Messaging & Storage
Architect hybrid messaging systems. Store sensitive metadata on-chain (IPFS/Arweave) for permanence while maintaining high-speed delivery via your existing infrastructure.
In-Chat Payments & Microtransactions
Embed native crypto payments, tipping, and subscription billing directly into the chat interface. Support multi-chain transactions with built-in gas sponsorship for seamless UX.
Provably Fair Governance & Moderation
Deploy transparent, on-chain voting systems for community decisions and moderator elections. Create immutable audit trails for content moderation actions to build user trust.
Cross-Platform Interoperability Bridges
Build secure bridges and oracles to connect your chat data and user actions with external DeFi protocols, gaming worlds, and other social dApps, unlocking composability.
Business Outcomes for Your Platform
Our Web3 migration delivers measurable improvements to your platform's performance, security, and revenue model. We focus on outcomes, not just technology.
Monetize User Engagement
Introduce token-gated features, premium content subscriptions, and in-chat tipping with native crypto. Transform active users into a direct revenue stream.
Enhanced Data Security & Ownership
Migrate user identities and sensitive data to user-controlled wallets. Eliminate centralized data breach risks and build trust with privacy-first architecture.
Sub-Second Cross-Border Payments
Enable instant, low-fee peer-to-peer transactions within chats. Replace slow legacy rails with blockchain settlement for global user bases.
Provably Fair Community Governance
Implement on-chain voting for feature requests and moderation. Increase platform loyalty with transparent, user-influenced development.
Future-Proof Interoperability
Build on standards like XMTP for wallet-to-wallet messaging. Ensure compatibility with other dApps, DeFi protocols, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
Reduced Operational Overhead
Leverage decentralized infrastructure for identity, storage, and payments. Lower server costs and compliance complexity by shifting logic to smart contracts.
Platform-Specific Integration Approach
We tailor our Web3 migration strategy to your existing chat platform's architecture and user base. Compare the technical and operational approaches for leading platforms.
| Integration Component | Discord / Slack Bots | Telegram Mini Apps | Custom Web Chat (e.g., Intercom) | Full-Stack Rebuild |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Primary Interface | Bot commands & slash commands | In-app WebView with TON Connect | Embedded widget with Web3.js/Ethers.js | Native mobile & web app with wallet SDK |
User Onboarding | Link wallet via DM; no seed phrase exposure | Connect via Telegram wallet; seamless login | Connect via MetaMask, WalletConnect; email fallback | Custom multi-wallet onboarding flow with social recovery |
Token Gating Logic | Smart contract checks via bot for role assignment | On-chain verification within Mini App session | Server-side API checks with caching for performance | Decentralized, gas-optimized contracts with merkle proofs |
Transaction Flow | Bot-initiated txs with user confirmation in DM | Direct in-chat transactions via TON or connected wallet | Modal-based transaction signing from chat widget | Full in-app transaction builder with fee optimization |
Data Persistence | Hybrid: user prefs on-chain, chat history off-chain | State managed in Mini App; critical data on-chain | Centralized DB for chat, blockchain for membership state | Fully decentralized with IPFS/Arweave for message storage |
Time to MVP | 3-5 weeks | 4-6 weeks | 6-10 weeks | 12-20+ weeks |
Typical Cost Range | $25K - $50K | $30K - $70K | $60K - $120K | $150K+ |
Our 4-Week Delivery Methodology
We deliver your legacy chat platform's Web3 migration in a fixed timeline with zero surprises. Our phased approach ensures security, user experience, and business logic are seamlessly transitioned on-chain.
Week 1: Discovery & Architecture
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing platform, map user flows, and design the on-chain architecture. This includes selecting the optimal L2 (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base) and token standards (ERC-20, ERC-1155) for your use case.
Week 2: Core Smart Contract Development
Our team builds and unit-tests the core smart contracts for your chat economy. This includes token minting, staking for premium features, NFT-based badges/identities, and secure on-chain message attestation.
Week 3: Integration & Backend Bridge
We build the secure backend oracles and indexers that bridge your legacy database to the new blockchain layer. User balances, chat history, and permissions are migrated without service interruption.
Week 4: Testing, Audit & Deployment
The final week is dedicated to rigorous integration testing, a preliminary security review by our internal audit team, and deployment to the chosen testnet and mainnet. We prepare full documentation for your team.
