Scheduled

We are upgrading our Story Aeneid Testnet infrastructure to v1.7.0 (Seneca).

This is a mandatory hardfork upgrade of the consensus client, scheduled for activation at block height 18550000. The upgrade reduces MaxValidators to 21. During the maintenance window, customers may experience intermittent disruptions to RPC availability as nodes are rotated through the upgrade process.

RPC Changes: No customer-facing RPC changes in this release. This is a consensus-layer parameter change.

Release: https://github.com/piplabs/story/releases/tag/v1.7.0
