Token contract migration involves moving an existing digital asset from one smart contract to a new, updated smart contract, often on the same or a different blockchain. This process is typically undertaken to upgrade token functionalities, fix vulnerabilities, improve efficiency, or transition to a new network. Holders usually exchange their old tokens for new ones at a predetermined ratio. It represents a significant protocol modification.

These events require careful planning and communication to ensure a smooth transition for token holders and avoid market disruption. The success of a migration is a key indicator of a project’s technical competence and its ability to adapt to evolving ecosystem requirements.
