This tutorial uses the Casper command-line client to upgrade and migrate from an NFT contract installed using release v1.0.0 and standard NamedKeys. The outcome of the upgrade will be a v1.1.1 NFT contract with its storage structure migrated to the new format.
- You have previously installed a CEP-78 contract using release v1.0.0, in a standard way, on a Casper network. Thus, you have experience with the Casper CEP-78 NFT Standard, the Casper command-line client, and interacting with a Casper network.
- Your v1.0.0 NFT contract instance uses the contract package hash and contract package access URef created during installation in a standard way, without using other NamedKeys to manage the contract package.
- You have the v1.0.0 contract package hash stored under the
nft_contract_package
NamedKey in the account that installed the contract. - You have the v1.0.0 contract package access URef stored under the
nft_contract_package_access
NamedKey in the account that installed the contract. - You understand what is new in Version 1.1.0 of the CEP-78 Enhanced NFT Standard.
An upgrade is the usual manner to release newer versions of a contract inside a contract package. When users install v1.1.* of a CEP-78 contract, they perform an upgrade and a data migration to a new page system tracking token ownership. The OwnerReverseLookupMode modality introduced in version 1.1.0 allows users to list NFTs by owner. The README states:
If you are upgrading a contract from CEP-78 version 1.0 to 1.1, `OwnerReverseLookupMode` will be set to `Complete`, as this was the standard behavior of CEP-78 1.0. In addition to being set to `Complete`, existing records will be migrated into the CEP-78 1.1 format, which will impose a one-time gas cost to cover the migration.
Future upgrades may not involve data migration, but the data migration is necessary with release v1.1.*.
Navigate to the v1.1.1 release and download the cep-78-wasm.tar.gz file. Unarchive it to have access to the Wasm files provided. The Rust source code is also available if you would like to build and test the contract according to the Makefile provided.
The cep-78-wasm
folder contains the contract.wasm
to send to the network to upgrade the NFT contract to version 1.1.1. In addition, you will see other useful Wasm files to interact with the contract once it is stored on-chain: balance_of_call.wasm
, get_approved_call.wasm
, mint_call.wasm
, owner_of_call.wasm
, transfer_call.wasm
, and updated_receipts.wasm
.
The standard migration path assumes that the contract uses the NamedKey entries created during the v1.0.0 installation without any modifications. See the example below as well as the NamedKeyConvention modality.
NamedKey Pre-Migration | Explanation |
---|---|
nft_contract | The hash identifying the NFT contract |
nft_contract_package | The hash identifying the contract package containing the NFT contract |
nft_contract_package_access | The URef used as an access token or reference to the contract package |
contract_version | The value tracking the latest contract version in the contract package |
nft-CEP-78-collection-contract-package-wasm... | A dictionary tracking the NFTs minted in v1.0.0 |
When upgrading using the casper-client
, you must provide two runtime arguments:
named_key_convention
: The NamedKeyConvention runtime argument as a u8 value equal to 1:--session-arg "named_key_convention:u8='1'"
. See the ARG_NAMED_KEY_CONVENTION.collection_name
: The collection name specified when the contract was installed using thecollection_name
option. See the contract code for details.
Here is the casper-client
command to upgrade and migrate to version 1.1.1 of the NFT collection specified:
casper-client put-deploy \
--node-address [NODE_SERVER_ADDRESS] \
--chain-name [CHAIN_NAME] \
--secret-key [KEY_PATH]/secret_key.pem \
--payment-amount [PAYMENT_AMOUNT_IN_MOTES] \
--session-path [PATH]/contract.wasm \
--session-arg "named_key_convention:u8='1'" \
--session-arg "collection_name:string='[COLLECTION_NAME]'"
Here is the full list of required arguments:
node-address
: An IP address of a peer on the network. The default port for JSON-RPC servers on Mainnet and Testnet is 7777.chain-name
: The chain name of the network where you wish to send the deploy. For Mainnet, use casper. For Testnet, use casper-test.secret-key
: The file name containing the secret key of the account paying for the deploy.payment-amount
: The payment for the deploy in motes.session-path
: The path to the compiled Wasm on your computer. When using the cep-78-wasm.tar.gz provided, this would be the path to thecontract.wasm
file.named_key_convention
: Argument that specifies the use of theV_1_0_standard
NamedKeyConvention.collection_name
: Argument that specifies the collection name as a String.
The command returns the deploy hash that you can use to verify whether or not the deploy succeeded.
Important Notes:
-
When upgrading by installing a new version of the CEP-78 contract, you do not need to specify all the runtime arguments needed during the initial installation of version 1.0.0, such as
total_token_supply
,ownership_mode
, etc. -
However,
total_token_supply
may be provided as an optional runtime argument if you wish to decrease the total supply during the upgrade. The provided argument cannot be larger than the previous total, but must be larger than the total number of minted tokens. It cannot be zero. -
Therefore, if the previous contract instance had a total token supply of 1,000 and 750 minted tokens, the
total_token_supply
optional argument must be between 751 and 1,000.
Example command to upgrade to v1.1.1:
The following is an example of upgrading and migrating to version 1.1.1 of a previously installed NFT collection using version 1.0.0 with standard NamedKeys.
casper-client put-deploy \
--node-addres https://rpc.testnet.casperlabs.io/ \
--chain-name "casper-test" \
--secret-key ~/KEYS/secret_key.pem \
--payment-amount 300000000000 \
--session-path contract.wasm \
--session-arg "named_key_convention:u8='1'" \
--session-arg "collection_name:string='CEP-78-collection'"
Here is the corresponding example deploy on Testnet.
As part of the migration, the contract's NamedKeys will be renamed using a new naming convention, which includes the collection name and a cep78_contract_
prefix.
Deprecated NamedKey | New NamedKey | Explanation |
---|---|---|
nft_contract | cep78_contract_hash_[COLLECTION_NAME] | The hash identifying the NFT contract |
nft_contract_package | cep78_contract_package_[COLLECTION_NAME] | The hash identifying the contract package containing the NFT contract |
nft_contract_package_access | cep78_contract_package_access_[COLLECTION_NAME] | The URef used as an access token or reference to the contract package |
contract_version | cep78_contract_version_[COLLECTION_NAME] | The value tracking the latest contract version in the contract package |
Note: Notice that the deprecated NamedKeys are still on the list, but the new contract will not use them. Also, starting with version 1.1.0, all named keys will follow the new naming convention containing the collection name.
