Most smart contracts are unchangeable once deployed.

Pact takes a different approach, allowing contracts to be edited. This might sound risky, but it's actually a carefully designed feature that brings tremendous benefits.

Think about it this way:

- You purchase a new phone with the latest firmware

- Later, a security vulnerability is detected

- A new firmware update is released to fix it

- You simply update your phone to stay secure

Without upgradability, you'd need to buy a new phone every time there was a security fix.

Every. Single. Time.

Why Upgradable Contracts Matter?

Software needs to evolve to:

- Fix bugs

- Add new features

- Improve security

Security Considerations

But wait - isn't upgrading smart contracts dangerous?

Here's how Pact keeps things secure:

- Upgrades must be explicitly enabled

- Governance controls can be built in

- Runtime checks prevent unauthorized modifications

Benefits for Developers

This approach offers numerous advantages:

- Faster development cycles

- Lower risk of permanent bugs

- Ability to improve contracts over time

Upgradability therefore allows developers for better risk management and an easy way to adapt to changes.

Benefits for Users

With this approach, users don’t need to constantly monitor for announcements or updates to avoid using vulnerable code.

> Pact's upgradable contracts create a more secure and sustainable ecosystem for everyone.
