We are upgrading our Celestia Mocha Testnet infrastructure to celestia-app v9.0.1-mocha and celestia-node v0.31.0-mocha.
This is a consensus-breaking v9 release that reduces block time from 6 seconds to 3 seconds. Activation occurs after 5/6 voting power has signaled for v9. The release also speeds up block sync by defaulting verify_data to false, honors min-retain-blocks below the evidence window, and deprecates the celestia-appd update-config command.
During the maintenance window, users may experience intermittent disruptions to RPC availability as nodes are rotated through the upgrade process.
RPC Changes: Block time — produced blocks now arrive at ~3 second cadence instead of ~6 seconds after v9 activates on the Mocha network. Users polling for new blocks may want to adjust polling intervals; subscription-based consumers will receive blocks at the higher rate without code changes.
