Extend a deployed contract instance's TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract instance like so:

soroban contract extend \
    --source S... \
    --network testnet \
    --id C... \
    --ledgers-to-extend 535679 \
    --durability persistent

This example uses 535,679 ledgers as the new archival TTL. This is the maximum allowable value for this argument on the CLI. This corresponds to roughly 30 days (averaging 5 second ledger close times).

When you extend a contract instance, this includes:

the contract instance itself
any env.storage().instance() entries in the contract
the contract's Wasm code

📄️ Deploy a Contract from Installed Wasm Bytecode

To deploy an instance of a compiled smart contract that has already been isntalled onto the Stellar network, use the soroban contract deploy command:

📄️ Deploy the Stellar Asset Contract for a Stellar Asset

The Soroban CLI can deploy a [Stellar Asset Contract] for a Stellar asset so that any Soroban contract can interact with the asset.

📄️ Extend a deployed contract instance's TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract instance like so:

📄️ Extend a deployed contract's storage entry TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract's persistent storage entry. For a storage entry that uses a simple Symbol as its storage key, you can run a command like so:

📄️ Extend a deployed contract's Wasm code TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract's Wasm bytecode. This can be done in two forms

📄️ Install and Deploy a Smart Contract

You can combine the install and deploy commands of the Soroban CLI to accomplish both tasks:

📄️ Install Wasm Bytecode

To use the Soroban CLI to install a compiled smart contract on the ledger, use the soroban contract install command:

📄️ Restore an archived contract using the Soroban CLI

If your contract instance has been archived, it can easily be restored using the Soroban CLI.

📄️ Restore archived contract data using the Soroban CLI

If a contract's persistent storage entry has been archived, you can restore it using the Soroban CLI. For a storage entry that uses a simple Symbol as its storage key, you can run a command like so:
