Tomorrow we expect drastic increase in network activity due to listing and minting of the Notcoin project, which is possibly the largest launch in the entire crypto industry in terms of userbase.

Please check you validators and liteserver software is up to date:
Target versions for node is 4cfe1d1.

Also, please check that your nodes and validators have enough free space on disk. If you have less than 100 GB, check section 5 here, as well as database grooming docs.

We ask you to keep an eye on the validators tomorrow and be ready to take action.

Liteserver owners

1) Please update MyTonCtrl to the new major MyTonCtrl 2.0 version.

In MyTonCtrl please run:

update mytonctrl2
disable_mode validator
enable_mode liteserver

Target MyTonCtrl revision is a4b8bf2.

2) Then please upgrade node to db505f4.

In MyTonCtrl:

upgrade master

If you are not using MyTonCtrl please use instruction.

Target node revision is db505f4.

This node update contains major optimization of liteserver resource usage.

Please upgrade your liteservers till the end of next week (June 2).

This update is mandatory for liteservers (full nodes and archive nodes). Validators do not need to update now.

Scheduled network update on June 10

We are asking validators to schedule a time on June 10 at 9:00 UTC for validator software update.

Mainnet Validators Urgent Action Required

Please be prepared to vote for new gas limits for special transactions July 2 at 8:00 UTC.

In recent weeks, the number of validators has grown to a level that threatens the normal conduct of elections. Limits must be updated to continue smooth operation. If you are planning to launch a validator soon, please postpone it until the end of next week.
