Scheduled

We are upgrading our NEAR Mainnet infrastructure to nearcore 2.13.1. This release introduces protocol version 86 with significant enhancements including strict nonce mode for transactions, stabilized ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures, gas keys (NEP-611) for meta transactions, dynamic resharding, and continuous epoch sync. The upgrade also deprecates centralized external-storage state sync in favor of peer-to-peer synchronization. This release additionally includes a required fix ahead of the network-wide protocol upgrade.

During the maintenance window, brief interruptions to RPC availability may occur.

RPC Changes:
- EXPERIMENTAL_receipt_to_tx — Now accepts optional block_height, shard_id, and window hint parameters for improved receipt lookup performance; returns UnknownReceipt on column miss with hint set for long emit-to-execute delays. - EXPERIMENTAL_view_state — Pagination support added with after_key_base64 and limit request parameters; responses now include last_key for fetching subsequent pages.
