Features
01
There are several workarounds for the immutability problem on the Ethereum platform. You can create one main smart contract for the system, but the logic of that smart contract is governed by another smart contract that you replace with a new one when needed.
02
Adding new smart contracts adds extra fees for the business process
03
You have to follow some rules inherent to the inner design of the Ethereum Virtual Machine.For that reason, we excluded ZeppelinOS from the final solution. In its place, we rethought how the contract system works. We understood that every lot has a terminal state (after the produce has been delivered to the end customer) and there is no point in supporting and upgrading these outdated contracts according to new regulations.
04
Change the logic of creating contracts to create new lots with new versions of those contracts.
05
Guarantee backward compatibility of contracts, i.e. an older contract will never refer to a newer contract with an incompatible interface. The interaction between contracts within the system has a direction, meaning that newer contracts can interact with older contracts, but the older contracts never interact with newer contracts. In other words, we reshaped the initial problem from upgrading existing smart contracts to developing an upgrade mechanism for the whole system behavior by introducing new contracts and switching business flow to them.
Process
01
We chose ZeppelinOS, a platform for developing upgradeable smart contracts on Ethereum, as our initial technology.
02
We started work by creating two demos: first a demo of how ZeppelinOS works, second a simplified solution of how ZeppelinOS can be integrated into the smart contracts.
03
After benchmarking the operational cost for the implementation which used ZeppelinOS, we found that solution cost would be more expensive for the customer than they would like it to be.
04
After reviewing the original problem, which was the need to alter smart contract behavior, we came up with a custom solution. We presented it to the customer, and they agreed it would work better.
05
Having implemented the custom solution, our blockchain team switched to maintenance mode, while our backend specialists moved to the next Trace’s milestone, creating a web regulator for hemp farmers.

Benefits
We’ve been working with the client for some time, and they are happy with our results. Since then, we have finished making the smart contracts upgradeable and have switched to developing a Node.js backend for the web application. They have also entrusted us with their iOS app for maintenance and occasional tweaking.
