Operational runbook
A practical checklist for running Vestige on Arc Testnet: what to verify before launch, what to watch during usage, and how to safely rotate deployments.
Launch checklist
Before a deployment is treated as active, confirm the contract, frontend, wallet, and docs all point to the same Arc Testnet address.
Routine monitoring
Vestige does not require an operator for user vaults, but the product should still monitor deployment health and frontend correctness.
- Watch failed transaction reports for stale address or ABI mismatches.
- Watch Arc RPC availability and fallback behavior.
- Check that wallet transaction labels still say native USDC in the dApp UI.
- Review whether users are leaving claimed-but-not-disabled vaults behind.
- Track support questions around heir owner-address discovery.
Deployment rotation
If a new contract is deployed, treat the address change as a release. Do not silently swap it without updating docs and running smoke tests.
1. Deploy new InheritanceVault
2. Verify bytecode on ArcScan
3. Update NEXT_PUBLIC_VAULT_ADDRESS
4. Restart/rebuild frontend
5. Update /deployed-contracts
6. Smoke test owner and heir flows
7. Publish release noteIncident response
If users report unsafe wallet warnings, stop encouraging transactions until the active address is verified. Most severe frontend incidents start as a wrong address or wrong network problem.
