Forest NV24 🛺 support

NV24 TukTuk 🛺 upgrade

Forest joins Lotus and Venus in supporting the NV24 upgrade. See the post for details regarding the new features brought to the network.

To keep Forest nodes running, the operators must upgrade Forest to supporting versions, as outlined in the timeline.

📆 Timeline

timeline
    title NV24 Forest timeline
    ~October 17th : Forest release supporting NV24 for calibnet
    October 23rd : Calibration network upgrade
    ~November 10th : Forest release, supporting NV24 for mainnet
    November 20th : Mainnet network upgrade

Loading

The timeline is subject to changes, and there will likely be non-mandatory releases. Depending on external factors, the mainnet release will likely arrive faster to give plenty of time for an update.

💻 Hardware requirements

The state migration for this upgrade is minimal, and shouldn't require significantly more resources than a regular node usage. Expected migration durations:

• calibnet: below 1s,
• mainnet: below 30s.

An alternative to the automatic state migration (and also when you are not a Forest user 😿 ) is downloading a snapshot from the ChainSafe snapshot service sometime after the upgrade (30m - 2h). Endpoints below:
