ERC-20/ERC-721tokens to complex DeFi vaults and governance systems. - Security & Audits: Formal verification, unit/integration testing, and preparation for third-party audits.
- Full Lifecycle: Development, deployment, verification on Etherscan, and post-launch monitoring support.
Our Managed Migration Process
We execute a phased, hands-on migration to MEV-Boost, ensuring your validator's attestation performance and rewards remain uninterrupted throughout the transition.
Pre-Migration Audit & Strategy
We analyze your current validator setup, consensus client, and execution layer configuration to create a risk-mitigated migration plan. This includes a compatibility check for your hardware and a detailed timeline.
Staged Configuration & Testing
We deploy and configure MEV-Boost relays (e.g., Flashbots, bloXroute) in a staged, non-production environment. We simulate block proposals to validate relay performance and fee recipient setup before mainnet cutover.
Live Migration Execution
Our engineers perform the live migration during low-activity slots, monitoring validator health and MEV-Boost metrics in real-time. We handle the switch from local block building to outsourced, optimized proposals.
Post-Migration Optimization & Monitoring
We provide 30 days of enhanced monitoring, tracking your validator's inclusion distance and MEV rewards. We fine-tune relay selection and bid strategies to maximize your long-term extractable value.
Business Outcomes of a Modern MEV-Boost Setup
Migrating to a modern MEV-Boost architecture with Chainscore delivers concrete, bottom-line results. We focus on maximizing validator revenue, ensuring operational resilience, and future-proofing your infrastructure.
Maximized Validator Revenue
We integrate with top-tier, vetted builders and relays to consistently capture the highest possible block rewards. Our setup prioritizes proposer payment optimization and timely block proposal to ensure you don't miss profitable opportunities.
Enhanced Infrastructure Resilience
Our migration includes redundant relay configurations and automated failover systems to protect against relay downtime or censorship. This ensures your validator remains active and compliant, maximizing uptime and slashing protection.
Reduced Operational Overhead
We handle the complexity of relay selection strategy, performance monitoring, and software updates. Our managed service eliminates the need for your team to constantly tune and troubleshoot the MEV-Boost stack, freeing up engineering resources.
Advanced Security & Censorship Resistance
We implement multi-relay strategies to distribute trust and mitigate censorship risks. Our configurations are audited against known vulnerabilities, and we provide clear visibility into block inclusion policies.
Actionable Performance Analytics
Gain deep insights with our custom dashboards tracking missed opportunities, relay performance, and revenue attribution. Make data-driven decisions to continuously optimize your validator's economic performance.
DIY Migration vs. Chainscore Managed Service
Compare the effort, risk, and total cost of ownership between managing your own MEV-Boost migration and using our expert-managed service.

Time to Full Production | 8-16 weeks | 2-4 weeks |
Initial Setup & Configuration | Your team (High Effort) | Our team (Turnkey) |
Relay & Builder Strategy | Manual research & testing | Optimized for your yield |
Security & Risk Profile | High (Configuration errors, slashing risk) | Low (Audited configs, slashing protection) |
Ongoing Monitoring & Alerts | Your responsibility | 24/7 with dedicated dashboards |
Performance Optimization | Manual tuning required | Continuous, data-driven tuning |
Post-Merge Protocol Updates | Your team must track & implement | Included in service |
Total First-Year Cost (Est.) | $120K+ (Engineering Time, Risk) | $25K - $75K (Predictable) |
Primary Support | Community/Forums | Dedicated Engineer & SLA |
Smart Contract Development
Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.
We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts on EVM and Solana. Our code is built with Solidity 0.8+ or Rust, leveraging OpenZeppelin libraries and security patterns to mitigate risks like reentrancy and overflow.
- Security-First Process: Every contract undergoes manual review and automated analysis before deployment.
- Gas Optimization: We reduce transaction costs by 15-40% through efficient coding patterns.
- Full Audit Trail: Deliverables include comprehensive documentation and a formal verification report.
Deploy battle-tested contracts with enterprise-grade security in 2-4 weeks.
MEV-Boost Migration FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and validators planning their MEV-Boost migration. Based on our experience migrating 100+ legacy validators.
A standard migration for a single validator client takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to mainnet deployment. This includes architecture review, relay configuration, testing on Holesky/Goerli, and final cutover. For large staking pools with 100+ validators, we implement a phased rollout over 4-6 weeks to ensure zero downtime.
