Overview

Migrate handles translating the state of the blockchain between software versions.

For example, as modules are changed over time the structure of the data they store changes. The data structure must be migrated to the new structure of the newer versions.

There are two types of migration: - **genesis migration** a script converts an exported genesis file from the old software to a new genesis file for the new software - **in-place upgrade** a handler in the upgrade module converts data in the database itself from the old version to the new

Genesis migration starts a whole new blockchain (with new chain-id) for the new software version. In-Place upgrade keeps the blockchain (and chain-id) the same for the new software version.

We only support migrations between mainnet black releases. We only support migrations from the previous mainnet black version to the current. We don't support migrating between two old versions, use the old software version for this. We only support migrations from old to new versions, not the other way around.

Genesis Migration The process is: - unmarshal the current genesis file into the old `GenesisState` type that has been copied into a `legacy` folder (ideally using the old codec version) - convert that `GenesisState` to the current `GenesisState` type - marshal it to json (using current codec)

On each release we can delete the previous releases migration and old GenesisState type. eg black-3 migrates `auth.GenesisState` from black-2 to `auth.GenesisState` from black-3, but for black-4 we don't need to keep around black-2's `auth.GenesisState` type.
