Deployment and lifecycle
Ship to testnets freely, to mainnet deliberately — and roll back to any verified version when you need to.
A deployment environment is a target with its own configuration, secrets, access policy and deployment history — for example development, test, staging, production or an isolated environment for a specific client. One environment can span several chains; chains and deployments are measured separately.
How deployments work
Aspect: What it is
- Testnet deployment
- A versioned artefact sent to a test network and environment
- Mainnet deployment
- A human-approved artefact sent to a production network
Aspect: What counts
- Testnet deployment
- Each artefact + chain + environment combination
- Mainnet deployment
- Each artefact + mainnet chain + environment combination
Aspect: Platform failures
- Testnet deployment
- Not counted if the platform fails before sending
- Mainnet deployment
- Not counted if not sent to the chain
Aspect: Network costs
- Testnet deployment
- Test tokens, faucets and external quotas are not guaranteed
- Mainnet deployment
- Gas is paid by the customer, including for reverted transactions
- What it is
- A controlled return to a previously verified and signed artefact version.
- Counting
- A rollback uses the rollback allowance only, not the deployment allowance.
- Immutable contracts
- Rollback is not guaranteed for contracts that cannot be changed on-chain.
- Upgradeable contracts
- Rollback applies only if storage-layout and permission checks pass.
- Costs
- Gas and external infrastructure fees are paid by the customer; failed rollbacks caused by the platform are not counted.
- Monitoring
- Real-time observation of deployed contracts and their environment.
- Anomaly response
- Unusual patterns are detected and answered with defensive measures.
- Maintenance
- Patches are prepared when needed, with upgrades applied smoothly and documentation kept current.
Together these turn a one-off delivery into a sustainable product: software that keeps producing value over years rather than going stale after launch.
