We are proposing a network upgrade for the Cronos mainnet beta to take place on August 3, 2022. On that date, node operators will need to upgrade their cronosd binary to the latest version at a specific block height.

What to expect

The proposed upgrade date is August 3, 2022 and the chain will be upgraded at a specific block height of 3982500, estimated time of this block can be found here.

After the upgrade block height, all node operators will upgrade their node binary so that their node can continue to sync with the chain. The chain will be paused and back online once the majority of validators have been upgraded.

Actions Required from Node Operators

The chain will be upgraded at the block height of 3982500. Once we upgrade block height, all node operators will need to upgrade to the latest cronosd binary “v0.7.0-hotfix” (which will be available soon on the release page under the tag “v0.7.0-hotfix”) so that their node can continue to sync with the chain. The live block height is viewable on Cronoscan.

The chain will be paused for this upgrade, and resume back once the majority of validators have been upgraded. Please DO NOT UPGRADE to the binary prior to the target upgrade block.

If you would like to share any questions or feedbacks with us about Cronos mainnet and this upgrade, please reach out to us via the #cronos-mainnet-beta channel on the Cronos & Crypto.org Discord server or by email to contact@cronoslabs.org.

We sincerely thank you for your support.
