Summary
v1.12.0 has a hardfork, which will be activated at block height 26,704,441 (ETA is around 11/05/2023 23:59pm UTC) on IoTeX mainnet.
All nodes must upgrade to this release, otherwise the node runs the risk of not being able to sync with the IoTeX blockchain after other nodes have upgraded.
Note:
There's no change to the mainnet config.yaml and genesis.yaml. You only need to restart your node with the new image.
v1.12.0 marks a substantial advancement by upgrading the EVM to the Bellatrix release, surpassing the previous London release. Furthermore, our team is actively preparing for the integration with most recent Shanghai release, with more desired features planned for subsequent releases.
v1.12.0 has also enabled weighted vote counting for the Staking Bucket NFT, a feature newly launched in July with version 1.11.0. As a result, buckets created under this new feature will now enjoy an equal voting power and receive identical rewards as those of native buckets with equal balances.
Other Improvements
v1.12.0 release also comes with a couple of improvements:
- Add
ioctl bc delegatecommand, allowing users to conveniently access the detailed information of any delegate by name or operator address - Fix json unmarshal error when calling
eth_getTransactionByHashvia ethclient
