static-redeploy

Use static-redeploy to redeploy any module, without any code changes. Redeploying a legacy module will store the new module in the new Pact 5 compact storage format. As a result, redeployed modules require significantly less gas to load.

Note that redeploying leaves governance unchanged.

Prerequisites

You must have deployed the module in a namespace on at least one chain in the development, test, or main network before you can use the static-redeploy function to update the module storage. For information about deploying a module, see Deploy smart contracts.

Basic syntax

To redeploy an existing module as a Pact 5 module, use the following syntax:

(static-redeploy module)

Arguments

Use the following argument to specify the module you want to redeploy using the static-redeploy Pact function.

Argument	Type	Description
module	string	Specifies the module to redeploy.

Return value

The function returns the unit value () if redeployment is successful.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to redeploy the pistolas-vote module that was originally deployed in the free namespace on testnet04 and chain 3 using a YAML transaction request file.

code: |
  (static-redeploy "free.pistolas-vote")
data:
  vote:
    keys: ["401d6346...114c5ae4"]
    pred: "keys-all"
publicMeta:
  chainId: "3"
  sender: "k:401d6346...114c5ae4"
  gasLimit: 100000
  gasPrice: 0.0000001
  ttl: 7200
networkId: "testnet04"
keyPairs:
  - public: "401d6346...114c5ae4"
    secret: "94df4ba5...2709fd1a"
    caps:
      - name: "coin.GAS"
        args: []
  - public: "401d6346...114c5ae4"
    secret: "94df4ba5...2709fd1a"
    caps: []
type: exec

After creating the YAML request, you can format and submit the transaction request to the appropriate network and chain /send endpoint. For example:

pact --apireq vote-redeploy.yaml > redeploy.json
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "@redeploy.json" \
