Abstract: Provided is a permission-controlled smart contract upgrade method. The method deploys a contract upgrade smart contract, and deploys a smart contract to be upgraded including information of contract participants and a required minimum number of agreements on passing a proposal related to the contract. Any of the blockchain nodes receives a contract upgrade proposal submitted by user to the smart contract, the proposal carrying address of the contract to be upgraded and binary information of a new contract. After the smart contract determines to pass the proposal, a proposing event is generated and forwarded to each user client participating in the contract. After the client receives the event, the client receives user's vote and feeds back to the smart contract. If the number of agreements exceeds the required minimum number, the proposal is passed and employed, and a binary replacement is performed to complete upgrade of the smart contract.
