Mainnet Release 2024.3.0 and 2024.3.1

Mainnet Release v2024.3.0 and v2024.3.1

Attention mainnet node operators: A mandatory upgrade is required as a hardfork will occur at epoch 2152 (block 64,847,872), approximately on October 31, 2024, at 13:02 UTC.

This upgrade will activate the first phase of HIP32, marking a significant step toward full decentralization. Leader rotation will be enabled, and Harmony’s internal nodes will be reduced to 2 slots per shard with 1% vote power.

Additionally, this upgrade will enhance epoch transitions on Shard 1, which is expected to significantly reduce signature losses.

Please ensure your node is updated before the hardfork to maintain network compatibility and stability.

The released version: v2024.3.1-0-g8ba758a4
