Hi @Quoc_Le,

We’ve decided it’s best to focus our upgradeability efforts on the Upgrades Plugins exclusively, and have halted development on the OpenZeppelin CLI. See: [Building for interoperability: why we’re focusing on Upgrades Plugins](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/building-for-interoperability-why-we-re-focusing-on-upgrades-plugins/4088)

I recommend using OpenZeppelin Upgrades Plugins to deploy and test upgradeable contracts.  
See: [https://docs.openzeppelin.com/upgrades-plugins/1.x/](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/upgrades-plugins/1.x/)

You could try either of the following tutorials:

- [OpenZeppelin Upgrades: Step by Step Tutorial for Truffle](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/openzeppelin-upgrades-step-by-step-tutorial-for-truffle/3579)
- [OpenZeppelin Upgrades: Step by Step Tutorial for Hardhat](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/openzeppelin-upgrades-step-by-step-tutorial-for-hardhat/3580)

To verify the implementation contract we can do the following: [Verify smart contract inheriting from OpenZeppelin Contracts](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/verify-smart-contract-inheriting-from-openzeppelin-contracts/4119)

The proxy and ProxyAdmin contracts should be verified on public networks, let us know if you need these verified on any network.

Finally Etherscan supports proxy contracts: [https://medium.com/etherscan-blog/and-finally-proxy-contract-support-on-etherscan-693e3da0714b](https://medium.com/etherscan-blog/and-finally-proxy-contract-support-on-etherscan-693e3da0714b)
