AR.IO SDKANT Contracts
Static Methods
ANT.fork()
Forks an existing ANT process to create a new one with the same state but potentially a different module. This is used for upgrading ANTs to new versions.
const newProcessId = await ANT.fork({
signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk),
antProcessId: 'existing-ant-process-id',
// Optional: specify a specific module ID, defaults to latest from registry
module: 'new-module-id',
onSigningProgress: (event, payload) => {
console.log(`Fork progress: ${event}`);
},
});
console.log(`Forked ANT to new process: ${newProcessId}`);
ANT.upgrade()
Static method to upgrade an ANT by forking it to the latest version and reassigning names.
// Upgrade and reassign all affiliated names
const result = await ANT.upgrade({
signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk),
antProcessId: 'existing-ant-process-id',
reassignAffiliatedNames: true,
arioProcessId: ARIO_MAINNET_PROCESS_ID
});
// Upgrade and reassign specific names
const result = await ANT.upgrade({
signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk),
antProcessId: 'existing-ant-process-id',
names: ['ardrive', 'example'],
reassignAffiliatedNames: false,
arioProcessId: ARIO_MAINNET_PROCESS_ID
});
console.log(`Upgraded to process: ${result.forkedProcessId}`);
console.log(`Successfully reassigned names: ${Object.keys(result.reassignedNames)}`);
console.log(`Failed reassignments: ${Object.keys(result.failedReassignedNames)}`);
