SEE THE FULL TASK LIST HERE!

As always, the new binaries are in pre-release version. We welcome people testing in Sandbox env during the pre-release period, then upgrade on mainnet. During the upgrade, please follow the points below before you restart the node:

nym-node

  • Every nym-node should be upgraded to the latest version!
  • Make sure to fill in basic description info, into the file located at .nym/nym-nodes/<ID>/data/description.toml (all nodes)
  • Configure wireguard routing with new network_tunnel_manager.sh following these steps (Gateways only for the time being)
  • Enable Wireguard with --wireguard-enabled true flag included in your run command (Gateways only for the time being)
    • Note: On some VPS this setup may not be enough to get the correct results as some ISPs have their own security groups setup below the individual VPS. In that case a ticket to ISP will have to be issued to open the needed settings. We are working on a template for such ticket.
  • Setup reverse proxy and WSS on nym-node (Gateways only for the time being)
  • Don’t forget to restart your node - or (preferably using systemd automation) reload daemon and restart the service
  • Migrating from mixnet or gateway smart contracts to a new nym-node smart contract will be available soon with an upcoming version of Nym desktop wallet. After this migration all nym-nodes will be able to receive delegation. The operators will have to confirm the migration once it’s deployed.

validators

  • Validators need to update and prepare for ecash implementation.

Known Bugs & Undone features

  • New nym-nodes without a performance 24h history above 50% don’t show routing properly on nym-gateway-probe, on Nym Harbourmaster the page may appear blank - we are working on a fix.
  • Wireguard works on IPv4 only for the time being, we are working on IPv6 implementation.
