Forest NV23 🧇 support

[LesnyRumcajs]

NV23 Waffle 🧇 upgrade

Forest joins Lotus and Venus in supporting the NV23 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 NV23 Forest timeline
    July 5th : Forest v0.19.0 "Pastel de nata" release, supporting NV23 for calibnet
    July 11th : Calibration network upgrade
    ~July 31st : Forest release, supporting NV23 for mainnet
    August 6th : 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:
