Upgrading Smart Contracts and selfdestruct

[abcoathup]

Hi @codingbibi,

@codingbibi

Does this mean, that since then it has now actually become possible to preserve the same address for the update? Without the need to deploy a new smart contract in a new address as a reference for the upgrade?

Yes. We interact with an upgradeable contract using the address of the proxy, whilst we can deploy new implementation contracts that the proxy points to.

I suggest trying it out:
