Upgrade Your Nodes!
Shapella August 1st!
The Shapella hard-fork is upon us ~ August 1st, 2023 at Epoch: 648704 / Slot: 10379264 / 11:34:20 UTC! This major milestone marks a significant step forward in the evolution of Gnosis Chain. Most notably, Shapella enables withdrawals for staked GNO.
Node runners, please schedule time between now to update your nodes if you haven't already - it’s critical for ensuring the security of Gnosis Chain and a successful hard-fork! The process can be completed within a few clicks. The Shapella hard-fork only requires node runners to update their Consensus and Execution Layer clients.
Execution Layer:
Consensus Layer:
Nimbus v23.6.0 (only with the following Docker image: ghcr.io/gnosischain/gnosis-nimbus-eth2:v23.6.0)
DAppNode Packages:
Erigon and Nimbus - Forthcoming
Note: Prysm, Geth are other ELs are not Gnosis compatible.
The latest Web3Signer release 23.6.0 did not schedule the correct fork epoch.
DAppNode users: click update on 'Web3Signer Gnosis' package
DAppNode users must update the 'Web3signer Gnosis' package to version v1.0.4
Others: You MUST add this flag to your setup --Xnetwork-capella-fork-epoch=648704
