Contract Migration Guide: here

For JavaScript developers: npm i -S @terra-money/terra.js@^2

Notice for Contract Developers

Terra went live with CosmWasm v0.10 in columbus-4 . columbus-5 will use CosmWasm v0.16, which is not compatible with previously published contracts. In order to solve this incompatibility, we deleted all the existing codes for contracts from the chain. Don’t panic - Contracts and its store is preserved.

All contract operations will not work until the contract code migration completed. Developers must migrate the contract code to compatible with CosmWasm v0.16 and do migration test on bombay-9 network.

LocalTerra main branch is compatible to bombay-9. It allows developers to develop contracts in local environment.

You can migrate the code with following command:

$ terrad tx wasm store {wasm_path} --migrate-code-id {code_id}

Or broadcast a transaction using terra.js@^2

MsgMigrateCode(
    public sender: AccAddress,
    public code_id: number,
    public wasm_byte_code: string
)

Caution: wasm store --migrate-code-id can only be done once. However, you can still use wasm migrate for another migration.
