# Deployments and Upgrades Currently, all contracts are deployed as upgradable proxies. `Shares` and all Components are deployed via factories as beacon proxy instances. Shared infrastructural contracts are deployed as transparent proxies. All proxies are upgradable by the global owner (set on `Global`). Note: there are no hard requirements for upgradability, and it is possible for Onyx instances to use their own upgrade mechanism or immutable contracts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
