Each Sui network is deployed on a consistent schedule. There are extenuating circumstances that might delay releases occasionally, but these delays are rare and communicated through [official channels](#communication).

- `devnet`: Deployed every week on Mondays.
- `testnet`: Deployed every week on Tuesdays.
- `mainnet`: Deployed every two weeks on Wednesdays.

:::info
For additional details, see each network's [release schedule and configuration](https://sui.io/networkinfo).

Whenever Sui releases a new version, you must update your Full node with the release to ensure compatibility with the network it connects to. For example, if you use Sui Testnet you should install the version of Sui running on Sui Testnet.

Any release that contains a protocol change will need to be followed before the protocol upgrade takes place (when enough stake within the validator set upgrades, the new protocol version is enacted in the next epoch).
If you do not update your Full node, you will not be able to connect to the network after the protocol upgrade takes place.

## Communication

Releases are announced on [Sui Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/sui) and [node-operators](https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sui.io/g/node-operators) Google group.
