The upgrade and manage commands in op-deployer are deprecated and no longer maintained. OP Labs uses the OP Contracts Manager (OPCM) for upgrade and chain management operations, and will focus op-deployer on initial chain deployments only.

​
What this means

  • The op-deployer upgrade and op-deployer manage subcommands are no longer supported and will not receive updates.
  • op-deployer itself is not deprecated. It remains the recommended tool for initial chain deployments via the bootstrap, init, apply, and inspect commands.
  • For L1 contract upgrades, use superchain-ops or interact with the OPCM directly.

​
Action required

If you are currently using op-deployer upgrade or op-deployer manage for L1 contract upgrades, migrate to one of the following approaches:
  1. superchain-ops — recommended for OP Stack chains managed by the Security Council, chains with the Foundation or Security Council as signers, and chains requiring a highly secure upgrade process.
  2. OPCM directly — for non-Optimism governed chains, you can interact with the OP Contracts Manager directly using your own tooling.
