v6.0.1 - 2022-06-28
Overview
- Testnet (
evmos_9000-4): Planned upgrade through governance proposal at height 2,176,500. - Mainnet (
evmos_9001-2): Planned upgrade through governance proposal at height 1,042,000.
Release Notes
This upgrade includes all the changes from the v5 release plus additional bug fixes on Ethermint (evmos/ethermint#1126, evmos/ethermint#1135). Additionally, this release will reject all unprotected transactions (i.e non-EIP155 signed) on the Evmos EVM (see Wintermute Rekt News analysis for context).
Upgrade Instructions
Update Tendermint Node Config
The timeout-commit value in the node config defines how long we wait after committing a block, before starting on the new height (this gives us a chance to receive some more pre-commits, even though we already have +2/3). The current default value is "5s"
In Evmos, the current block time on Mainnet is ~5.9s at the time of writing according to Mintscan. This means that it takes < 1s to reach consensus and then nodes have to wait for 5s after the block is committed.
At the upgrade height, validators will need to ensure their local node configurations in order to speed up the network to ~2s block times. This is handled automatically by the server (see commit) when initializing the node.
