### Functions

#### **fallback** <a href="#fallback" id="fallback"></a>

`function (IKernel _kernelImpl) public`

***

KernelProxy is a proxy contract to a kernel implementation. The implementation can update the reference, which effectively upgrades the contract.

Parameters:

* `_kernelImpl` - Address of the contract used as implementation for kernel

#### **implementation** <a href="#implementation" id="implementation"></a>

` function`` `` `**`implementation`**`() public view returns (address)`

***

ERC897, the address the proxy would delegate calls to.

Returns:

* address

#### **proxyType** <a href="#proxytype" id="proxytype"></a>

` function`` `` `**`proxyType`**`() public pure returns (uint256)`

***

ERC897, whether it is a forwarding (1) or an upgradeable (2) proxy.

Returns:

* uint256
