Forest NV25 Teep support

NV25 Teep 🦵 upgrade

Forest joins Lotus and Venus in supporting the NV25 upgrade. See the post for details regarding the new features brought to the network.

To keep Forest nodes running, the operators must upgrade Forest to supporting versions, as outlined in the timeline.

📆 Timeline

timeline
    title NV25 Forest timeline
    December 10th : Forest release supporting NV25 for calibnet
    December 16th : Calibration network upgrade
    Early January : Forest release, supporting NV25 for mainnet
    Middle of January : Mainnet network upgrade

Loading

The timeline is subject to change, and there will likely be non-mandatory releases. Depending on external factors, the mainnet release will likely arrive faster, giving plenty of time for an update.

💻 Hardware requirements

The state migration for this upgrade is minimal and shouldn't require significantly more resources than regular node usage. Expected migration durations:

• calibnet: below 1s,
• mainnet: below 30s.

An alternative to the automatic state migration (and when you are not a Forest user 😿 ) is downloading a snapshot from the ChainSafe snapshot service sometime after the upgrade (30m - 2h). Endpoints below:

• https://forest-archive.chainsafe.dev/latest/mainnet/
• https://forest-archive.chainsafe.dev/latest/calibnet/

If you haven't already, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the network upgrade process with this page in the Forest documentation.

The network upgrade development and testing is tracked here.

🚨 NV25 is postponed! 🚨

We ended up doing a feint instead of a teep for now! See more details here.

Please upgrade your calibnet nodes to v0.23.2, which removes the scheduled upgrade. Ensure this is done before the previously scheduled upgrade time, i.e., Mon 16 Dec 23:00:00 UTC 2024.
