Maintain

In many ways, deploying your project as a parachain, parathread, paraobject, or private solo chain is the beginning of your journey. To keep your application viable and evolving, it's important to build your community and manage your network, including staying up-to-date with hardware and software upgrades, managing new releases, and maintaining your infrastructure. The topics in this section are intended to highlight—in a generalized form—some of the most important maintenance tasks. However, every project is different and most projects will require their own specialized set of instructions, processes, and policies.
