Smart Contract Migration

Smart contract migration involves transferring assets and logic from an outdated version of a protocol to a new, improved version. This is a complex technical task because it requires moving state data without compromising security or triggering accidental liquidations.

It often involves user-initiated actions, such as withdrawing collateral and re-depositing into the new contract. Efficient migration strategies are essential to retain liquidity and user trust during platform upgrades.

If handled poorly, it can lead to fragmented liquidity or loss of funds.
