Upgrades

Tellor uses an upgradeable proxy contract, separating the storage of data and the functionality of the contract.

The process for proposing an upgrade is as follows:

• Deploy a new Tellor contract (with new Tellor functionality)

• Propose vote to switch the proxy address to the new Tellor address

• A week long vote occurs on whether to switch over.

• The result is a simple majority of the vote, token weighted at the block the vote was proposed.

• After the voting period, there is a day long chance for parties to dispute the results and start another voting period (after paying a fee).

• If the vote passes with no disputes, the Tellor contract is changed.
