reason
field, enabling providers and the network to specify termination causes.


Preparing for the Upgrade

Config requirements

minimum-gas-prices
is now mandatory and must be set explicitly. The configuration applies default value of
0.0025uakt
to allow nodes and validators with empty config to restart properly and run the upgrade. Should validators/rpc operators wish to disable the warning, they could do so by adjusting configuration with using one of the following options:

  • in
    config/app.toml
    : find field
    minimum-gas-prices
    and set it to
    0.0025uakt
  • env variable
    AKASH_MINIMUM_GAS_PRICES=0.0025uakt
  • cli flag
    --minimum-gas-prices=0.0025uakt

Binary Installation

Note: The upgrade release will be published approximately 48 hours before the upgrade.
