⚠️ 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!
