    • The upgrade itself is a community decision, Agoric OpCo has shared two possible deployment options:
      1. Separate contract installation and deployment from chain upgrade, as expected for future third-party contract deployment
      2. Integrated installation and deployment of the Inter contracts, as was done with PSM installation
