Testnet Hardfork Details<\/h2>\n
Conflux (CFX) Network has announced a mandatory hardfork upgrade to its testnet, according to Conflux Forum<\/a>. The upgrade, named v2.4.0, introduces several critical Conflux Improvement Proposals (CIPs) and requires all nodes to be updated before the epoch number reaches 175600000, estimated to occur on June 13, 2024.<\/p>\n The upgrade will enable a series of significant CIPs when the block number hits 226570000, expected around June 14, 2024. Notably, CIP-136, which increases the PoS lock\/unlock\/retire periods, will be activated when the PoS block number reaches 1685544, also estimated on June 14, 2024.<\/p>\n Some of the critical CIPs included in this release are:<\/p>\n

\n<\/ul>\n This release addresses a packing pool bug where all transactions had the same price. Node operators and miners can download the new version from the official GitHub repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n For node operators, it is crucial to upgrade to the latest version before the epoch number reaches 175600000. Failure to do so will result in nodes being incompatible with the upgraded Conflux protocol, affecting functionalities such as block synchronization and mining<\/dfn><\/i><\/b><\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n For new nodes, the latest Conflux v2.4.0-testnet version is recommended for installation.<\/p>\n The Conflux team extends gratitude to its community and developers for their continuous support and contributions to the ecosystem.<\/p>\nKey CIPs Introduced<\/h2>\n
