Summary
v1.6.0 is a pre-release for the Hekla testnet, with support for the upcoming Ontake protocol fork, as well as optimizations and bug fixes.
⚠️ Mandatory Update ⚠️
Timing
There are two crucial timestamps to be aware of:
- Protocol upgrade timestamp: Sep 20th, 2:00 AM UTC (10:00 AM Singapore) — This is the earliest time we'll perform the contract upgrade on Hekla. You must start using the new software before this time.
- Ontake fork timestamp: Estimated to occur on Sep 24th, 2024, at fork block height 840,512. Due to Taiko's variable block time, the exact moment can't be precisely predicted.
Software releases
The following software versions must be used in conjunction:
- taiko-geth: v1.8.0
- taiko-client: v0.36.0
- simple-taiko-node: v1.6.0
- taiko protocol: v1.9.0 — If using a
ProverSetfor block proposal and proving, update its implementation to the new version in this release.
Failure to upgrade may result in disconnection from the Taiko network or other operational issues. You can revert to the previous version before the fork occurs after upgrading to this pre-release, as there are no database schema changes.
This pre-release is intended for the Hekla testnet only and shall not be used for Taiko mainnet.
