Upgradeability is implemented in the {UpgradeableProxy} contract, although it provides only an internal upgrade interface. For an upgrade interface exposed externally to an admin, we provide {TransparentUpgradeableProxy}. Both of these contracts use the storage slots specified in https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1967[EIP1967] to avoid clashes with the storage of the implementation contract behind the proxy.
{ERC1967Proxy} provides a simple, fully functioning, proxy. While this proxy is not by itself upgradeable, it includes an internal upgrade interface. For an upgrade interface exposed externally to an admin, we provide {TransparentUpgradeableProxy}. Both of these contracts use the storage slots specified in https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1967[EIP1967] to avoid clashes with the storage of the implementation contract behind the proxy.
An alternative upgradeability mechanism is provided in <<Beacon>>. This pattern, popularized by Dharma, allows multiple proxies to be upgraded to a different implementation in a single transaction. In this pattern, the proxy contract doesn't hold the implementation address in storage like {UpgradeableProxy}, but the address of a {UpgradeableBeacon} contract, which is where the implementation address is actually stored and retrieved from. The `upgrade` operations that change the implementation contract address are then sent to the beacon instead of to the proxy contract, and all proxies that follow that beacon are automatically upgraded.

The xref:api:access.adoc#TimelockController[`TimelockControler`] is a proxy that is governed by proposers and executors. When set as the owner/admin/controller of a smart contract, it ensures that whichever maintenance operation is ordered by the proposers is subject to a delay. This delay protects the users of the smart contract by giving them time to review the maintenance operation and exit the system if they consider it is in their best interest to do so.

The first step in configuring the xref:api:access.adoc#TimelockController[`TimelockControler`] is to assign at least one proposer and one executor. These can be assigned during construction or later by anyone with the administrator role. These roles are not exclusive, meaning an account can have both roles.

Operations executed by the xref:api:access.adoc#TimelockController[`TimelockControler`] are not subject to a fixed delay but rather a minimum delay. Some major updates might call for a longer delay. For example, if a delay of just a few days might be sufficient for users to audit a minting operation, it makes sense to use a delay of a few weeks, or even a few months, when scheduling a smart contract upgrade.

The minimum delay (accessible through the xref:api:access.adoc#TimelockController-getMinDelay--[`getMinDelay`] method) can be updated by calling the xref:api:access.adoc#TimelockController-updateDelay-uint256-[`updateDelay`] function. Bear in mind that access to this function is only accessible by the timelock itself, meaning this maintenance operation has to go through the timelock itself.
