Conflux, a public blockchain system designed for fast and secure decentralized applications, has officially announced the upcoming v2.4.0-testnet hardfork upgrade. As per the Conflux Forum, all nodes must be upgraded before the epoch number reaches 173520000, estimated to occur on May 30, 15:00 (GMT+8). This upgrade will activate several Conflux Improvement Proposals (CIPs) at specific block numbers.
Incompatible Changes
The hardfork includes several incompatible changes aimed at enhancing the performance and security of the Conflux network.
Bug Fix
– Fixed a packing pool bug when all transactions have the same price.
Node Operators and Miners: Action Required
Node operators and miners must:
1. Upgrade your node before the epoch number reaches 173520000 (estimated at May 30, 15:00 (GMT+8)). Replace `conflux.exe` with the new version from Conflux v2.4.0-testnet in the run directory, then restart the node.
2. If upgrading after the epoch number reaches 173520000, delete all data and restart the node.
3. If starting a new node, download the latest version of Conflux v2.4.0-testnet and run it.
Consequences of Not Upgrading
Failing to upgrade your Conflux node will result in incompatibility with the upgraded Conflux protocol, disabling functions such as block synchronization and mining.
Community Support
Conflux extends its gratitude to the community and developers for their continued support and contributions. This upgrade marks a step towards a more robust and efficient future for the Conflux network.
