# Update Contract

> Update a tracked smart contract by chain and address. Modify the contract ABI, display name, or event tracking configuration through the Formo API.



## OpenAPI

````yaml PUT /v0/contracts/{chain}/{address}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Formo Public API
  description: >-
    REST API for managing Formo projects, analytics, alerts, boards, charts,
    contracts, segments, and AI chat.


    **Auth.** Every endpoint on `api.formo.so` requires a workspace API key with
    the appropriate scopes (see `x-api-scopes`). The one exception is `POST
    /v0/raw_events`, which runs on `events.formo.so` and authenticates with the
    project SDK write key instead.


    **Response shape.** Successful responses return the resource directly (or `{
    data: [...], total, page, size, has_more }` for paginated lists). HTTP
    status carries success/failure; there is no envelope wrapping success
    bodies.


    **Errors.** Non-2xx responses from `api.formo.so` use the `Error` envelope,
    with two exceptions: some rate-limit rejections reply in plain text, and
    `POST /v0/raw_events` returns a plain `{ "error": "..." }` object. Treat the
    HTTP status as authoritative and parse defensively: `{ error: { code,
    message, doc_url, param?, details? } }`. Branch on the machine-readable
    `code` (see `ErrorCode` enum) and follow `doc_url` to the matching section
    of the [errors reference](https://docs.formo.so/api/errors).


    **Idempotency.** Pass an `Idempotency-Key` header on write requests to
    alerts, boards, charts, contracts, segments, and import to make retries
    safe; the response is cached for 24 h and replayed on duplicate keys.
    Profile writes and `POST /v0/query` do not support it.
