On-chain migration refers to the process of transferring assets, data, or protocol functionalities from one blockchain to another, or from an off-chain system onto a blockchain. This often occurs when a project decides to upgrade its underlying network, or when traditional assets are tokenized and moved onto a distributed ledger. The migration ensures continuity of value and functionality within a new operational environment. It can also involve moving from a layer-1 to a layer-2 solution.
