Hard Fork
Bringing in this new version requires a hard fork, voting will begin on block height 905760 which is approximately Aug 31. For consensus at least 85% of smartnodes need to be on v2.0.3.00 over a 7 day rolling average, followed by the same for miners. Once miners and Smartnodes reach 85% consensus over 7 day rolling average the vote is locked in and we enter a 7 day grace period (allowing more time for people to get updated). Once grace period is finished voting concludes and new version features activate.
NOTE: By using this release you are voting that you agree to the upgrade. macOS binaries are currently unavailable, we are working on it.

Upgrade Notice
When upgrading from 1.3.17.06 to 2.0.3.00 you may notice that synchronization appears to stop or be very slow, attempting to use raptoreum-cli shows an error about "loading block index....". You will also notice if you check CPU use that it is doing work. DO NOT kill the process! Doing so will likely cause database corruption and your node getting banned. Give it the time it needs to complete its work, usually within 5 minutes but can vary based on system.
We have made some changes to how data is stored and the wallet needs to reload and adjust data to continue syncing.
A big thank you to our core team, developers, marketing crew, Discord mods, and awesome community for all that you guys have done and continue to do!
