Technical Developments :construction_worker_man:

Infrastructure

  • The new protocol code update for Incognito Chain’s 1st Blocktime reduction and Improvements for pEthereum has been released for over a week. The network still requires a sufficient amount of nodes to be updated in order to be implemented. If you are a node operator, please check your nodes to keep them up-to-date with the latest docker tag: 20220921_1.

  • Also, due to the recent Docker Hub API upgrade, the old auto-update script for nodes no longer works. We’ve published instructions for both vNode and pNode operators to get their nodes back on track with auto-update flow here. Let us know if you need any assistance.
