I have deployed the same Smart Contract twice on the Ropsten Testnet using Truffle (i.e. truffle migrate --compile-all --reset --network ropsten). The second deployment generated a new contract address, different than the initial one. If I use the web3 command smartContractName.address, the second address is returned.

I was wondering what happen to the first Smart Contract deployed at the initial address? Is it still accessible somehow? What would happen if I did the same on Mainnet (besides costing me real ETHs, of course)? Is the behaviour identical?

    That deployed contract will be there as well. There is not overriding or deleting the previous one.

  • Thank you @blockByblock This is what I had assumed. However, upon calling smartContractName.address, the new address is returned? Is the blockchain designed to return only the latest address in such cases?
