# Upgrade L1 contracts using op-deployer

> Learn how to use the op-deployer upgrade command to upgrade L1 contracts up to op-contracts/v5.0.0.

<Warning>
  The `op-deployer upgrade` command can be used for upgrades up to `op-contracts/v5.0.0`. It does **not** support
  upgrading from `op-contracts/v5.0.0` to `op-contracts/v6.0.0`. For upgrades beyond v5.0.0, use
  [superchain-ops](/chain-operators/tutorials/l1-contract-upgrades/superchain-ops-guide) or interact with the
  OPCM directly. See the [deprecation notice](/notices/op-deployer-upgrade-deprecation) for details.
</Warning>

## Version availability

The `op-deployer upgrade` command supports the following contract upgrade paths (upgrades must be performed in steps):

| Upgrade path                               | op-deployer version | Status    |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------- | --------- |
| op-contracts/v1.8.0 to op-contracts/v2.0.0 | v0.2.x              | Available |
| op-contracts/v2.0.0 to op-contracts/v3.0.0 | v0.3.x              | Available |
| op-contracts/v3.0.0 to op-contracts/v4.0.0 | v0.4.x              | Available |
| op-contracts/v4.0.0 to op-contracts/v5.0.0 | v0.5.x              | Available |

Each minor version of `op-deployer` supported a single release of the governance-approved smart contracts. See the [releases guide](/chain-operators/tools/op-deployer/reference/releases) for more information on versioning.

## Migration

For L1 contract upgrades beyond `op-contracts/v5.0.0`, use [superchain-ops](/chain-operators/tutorials/l1-contract-upgrades/superchain-ops-guide). For non-Optimism governed chains, you can interact with the OPCM directly using your own tooling.
