πŸ“£ Release v1.0.137 is live

Hello Nodes team,

The latest patch fixes the memory allocation problem which required some nodes to be restarted in order to fix. The ChainID & version identifiers are now used in transactions, to prevent replay attacks between releases, including mainnet.

⏱ Genesis time Monday 13 July 12:30 UTC

⚠️ Important: Battle of Nodes: Onchained will end Friday 17 July 15:00 UTC. Stay tuned for prize pool announcements & leaderboards update.

πŸ“Š Scoring for this period is 10 000 points, expect high TPS

πŸ”° 50% of the jailed nodes, which were still online yesterday evening, were added as validators

πŸ” Unjail costs 2.5 ERD now, so people can unjail themselves, but with scoring impact. This keeps scoring fair, allows operators to correct and increases stability of the network.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» erdpy users, new release! Check the announcement here https://xn--r1a.website/ElrondDevelopers/2677 Please run the following to stay compatible with the new changes:

erdpy config set withChainAndVersion true
erdpy config set chainID v1.0.137

🚧 Several components of the Elrond infrastructure are undergoing post-upgrade maintenance, to accommodate changes

πŸ“£ Release v1.0.138 is live, Leaderboards updated

Hello Nodes team,

We have a new release which restores the synch speed to Awesome, along with a number of other features and fixes. Leaderboards have been updated. After the official end of BoN, we invite you for a special weekend.

⏱ Genesis Time Thursday 16 July 0:00 UTC

πŸ“Š
The Leaderboards have been updated with all the missions, and the performance score up until Saturday 11 July 15:00 UTC. We will do one more update after the end of Battle of Nodes, to settle the final scores.

🧩 The Assembly - Battle of Nodes: Onchained ends on Friday 17 July 15:00 UTC. We invite you to keep your nodes running over the weekend for a special event.

We aim to give the world a glimpse of what true scalability means. All the needed ingredients for it to be spectacular will be there: never tried before, a bit crazy, highly experimental, likely to succeed, impossible to score.

It will be an honor if you choose to spend the weekend with us. Leave your nodes online after the battle ends, and be a part of history.

βš”οΈ See you on the battle #fiedl ! πŸ›‘

βš”οΈ Battle of Nodes: Onchained - Where No Node Has Gone Before

Lucian Mincu, Elrond CIO:

Battle of Nodes was an enormous success and it has a very clear winner. One that was better, more mature and better equipped than all the others. A winner that, throughout the event, was consistent in hard work, progress, perseverance, and ultimately performance - Elrond.

Most of the incentivized testnet events from other projects had only a handful of players standing out, very far away from the rest. Winning required topical knowledge and extraordinary efforts to fill in huge gaps, with the prevailing teams ending up light-years ahead of the other participants.

In Battle of Nodes, the hardest working and most knowledgeable ultimately did earn more rewards, as they should. But Elrond won. We demonstrated that anyone with a 2CPU & 4GB RAM computer had a decent chance of competing. That’s because our protocol is capable of that and our tooling is ready for mass adoption.

That is a big win out of the entire event and my key takeaway ahead of our mainnet launch. A bigger win yet is the Validator community that rallied around our Genesis block. I couldn’t be more thrilled with who we have on board right now.
