 After the `upgrader` is deployed, any other instantiated contract can be upgraded by calling the `upgrade` function
 
 ```bash
-node stellar/deploy-contract.js upgrade <CONTRACT_NAME> --chain-name <CHAIN_NAME> --wasm-path ../axelar-cgp-stellar/target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/<CONTRACT_NAME>.optimized.wasm --new-version <NEW_VERSION> --migration-data <MIGRATION_DATA>

 ```
 
 where `<CONTRACT_NAME>` is the name of the contract to be upgraded and `--wasm-path` points to the upgraded bytecode. As a sanity check, `<NEW_VERSION>` must match the version number defined by the provided bytecode, so upgrading to the wrong version can be prevented. `<MIGRATION_DATA>` is the json encoded data that will be passed to the contract's `migrate` function. If the flag is not provided, the default value `()` will be used, meaning that the migration data is of type `void`. The easiest way to generate the json data for complex types is to instantiate the rust type the contract expects and then use `serde_json::to_string` to convert it to json.
