Scheduled

We are upgrading our Sui Testnet infrastructure to testnet-v1.80.0.

This release introduces Protocol Version 137 with significant gas model refinements, expanded API surface across gRPC and JSON-RPC, new Move VM features including allowances support, and enhanced transaction validation.

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

RPC Changes:
- SuiTransactionBlockEffects.shared_objects — Field is now derived from accessed consensus objects, which can include implicitly read system objects such as the accumulator root. Consumers treating this field as declared shared inputs must filter against transaction inputs to avoid breaking logic.
- Transaction effects gRPC response — V1 transaction effects now include their derived lamport version in v2 RPC responses.
- QueryEndReason behavior — Terminal metadata on queries ending on an empty natural interval now emits `QueryEndReason::CheckpointBound` with `watermark.checkpoint = None` instead of `CursorBound`; no client migration required.
- GraphQL Subscription root type — The `Subscription` root type (`checkpoints`, `events`, `transactions`) is now part of the production schema; operators must enable it per deployment.
- GraphQL historical subscription backfill — Can now consume V1 effects from archival KV-RPC.
- Transaction validation — Additional signing time checks now reject structurally invalid transactions earlier.
