GM Masters of Nodes! 🛠 ⚠️

Due to the need to validate a scenario that may happen on mainnet, we will be resetting the testnet once again. We will use the previous responses and submissions for genesis, but anyone willing to participate is more than welcome to register. If that is the case, please visit the following link to fill in the required information: submit your data here.
We will be distributing the extra needed xEGLD soon after the genesis.

Tentative Timeline
- 16 May: Testnet reset
- 16 May: Genesis epoch
- Until 20 May: Upgrade to rc/v1.7.11

Thanks for your understanding and we apologize for the short notice. We will follow-up with further information about the reset and the upgrade announcements.

📣  TESTNET Reset: T1.7.10.2 - Remove DB

Hello Validators,

We are resetting the TESTNET and bringing it in line with mainnet.

📅 The genesis timestamp is 1715878800 which should happen today, May 16th, 2024 17:00:00 UTC
• 1 testnet epoch = 2 hours
• unbonding period = 2400 rounds / 2 epochs / 4 hours
• all features activate in epoch 1, except for staking v4 which will be disabled for testing purpose

⚠️  Do not upgrade your mainnet validators! You risk getting jailed and jeopardizing the mainnet.

🧩 Compatible services:
- proxy: v1.1.48
- notifier: v1.2.4
- indexer: v1.7.0

👉  Let’s upgrade our TESTNET VALIDATORS. Please do:

cd ~/mx-chain-scripts

⚠️ MultiversX Mainnet upgrade Vega - v1.7.10 follow-up

An edge case that might cause inconsistencies in the way how the nodes see the auction list has been found in the v1.7.10. In order to mitigate it, we have prepared the fixes, which are pending testing.

⏳ We estimate that we'll have a proper release on Monday, 20th May.

🚨 Keeping in mind that the activation epoch for Vega is estimated to begin at 21st May ~16:20 UTC this will only give ~1 day timeframe for nodes operator to perform the upgrade.

👉 Actions needed:
- ❗️please make sure that you have enough time bandwidth to perform the upgrade as soon as possible on Monday 20th May after we'll send you the version to upgrade to.
- ❗️the maximum deadline when the upgrade should be performed is Tuesday May 21st at 16 UTC.

Thank you for supporting the upgrade of the MultiversX protocol! Please react to this message just to be sure that it was acknowledged!

A few words for our dedicated delegator and staking provider community:

👉 For Delegators: APR numbers will fluctuate slightly in the next few days, don't fret, it will stabilize.
👉 For Staking Providers: All changes will gradually roll out and be integrated into the network during the following two epochs. We are actively monitoring the progress.

Here is a detailed guide with what is happening in the first three epochs after activation:

Epoch 1391 https://docs.multiversx.com/validators/staking-v4/#staking-v4-step-1
