Zero-Downtime Upgrade Coordination

overview

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications, from concept to deployment.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that form the unbreakable foundation of your Web3 application. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit trails to mitigate risk.

From a simple token to a complex DeFi protocol, we deliver code you can stake your business on.

Custom Logic: Tailored Solidity 0.8+/Rust/Vyper contracts for your unique use case.
Full Audit Readiness: Code is structured and documented for seamless review by top security firms.
Gas Optimization: Expert tuning to reduce user transaction costs by up to 40%.
Deployment & Verification: End-to-handle management on EVM/Solana/Cosmos chains.

We move from specification to a live, verified contract in as little as 2 weeks. Our engineers combine deep protocol expertise with battle-tested development patterns to ensure reliability from day one.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Zero-Downtime Coordination Framework

A battle-tested, multi-phase framework designed to eliminate downtime and user disruption during critical blockchain protocol upgrades. We manage the entire lifecycle from planning to post-deployment validation.

Pre-Upgrade Simulation & Risk Assessment

We run exhaustive simulations in isolated testnets and staging environments to identify edge cases, validate state migration logic, and quantify risk before mainnet deployment.

The Infrastructure Trade-Off

Managed Coordination vs. In-House Execution

Comparing the total cost, risk, and operational burden of managing zero-downtime upgrades yourself versus using Chainscore's managed service.

Critical Factor	Build & Manage In-House	Chainscore Managed Coordination
Time to Implement Solution	3-6 months	2-4 weeks
Upfront Engineering Cost	$150K - $300K+	Starting at $25K
Security & Reliability Risk	High (custom, untested)	Low (proven, audited process)
Required In-House Expertise	Senior DevOps + Protocol Engineers	Your core dev team only
Ongoing Maintenance & Monitoring	Full-time DevOps engineer	Included with SLA
Guaranteed Uptime During Upgrades	No SLA (your risk)	99.99% SLA
Post-Upgrade Support & Rollback	Your team manages incidents	24/7 on-call team included
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1)	$300K - $600K+	$50K - $150K

ZERO-DOWNTIME GUARANTEE

Our Proven Upgrade Orchestration Process

A systematic, battle-tested methodology for executing complex protocol upgrades without service interruption. We manage the entire lifecycle from planning to post-mortem, ensuring your users never notice a change.

Comprehensive Pre-Upgrade Analysis

We perform a deep technical audit of the upgrade payload, including smart contract bytecode diffing, state migration impact analysis, and dependency compatibility checks. This identifies risks before they reach production.
