[Urgent] Sui Testnet - Upgrade to testnet-v1.82.2

Scheduled for Oct 21, 00:00 - 23:59 UTC

Scheduled

We are upgrading our Sui Testnet infrastructure to testnet-v1.82.2 on 2026-10-21. This release introduces Protocol Version 139 with significant storage fee reductions (non-refundable storage fee cut from 1% to 0.01% of the storage rebate), ML- signature support across gRPC and SDK, and improvements to random-beacon DKG resilience. The JSONRPC service has been removed from full nodes. Brief interruptions to RPC availability may occur on that date.

RPC Changes:
- ExecuteTransaction — Now accepts and verifies ML- signatures and multisig members via the new SignatureScheme::MLDSA65 variant.
- VerifySignature — Now verifies ML- signatures.
- SimulateTransaction — When enable-simulate-allowed-proposers is on, returned transactions are restricted to allowed proposers only for clients sending an x-sui-client-protocol-version header of 136 or higher.
- SubscribeTransactions — Now fills effects object types, clever errors, and event json when the read mask requests them, matching GetTransaction behavior.
- SubscribeCheckpoints — Now fills effects object types, clever errors, and event json when the read mask requests them, matching GetTransaction behavior.
- ListTransactions — Requests below the node's retention now return OUT_OF_RANGE instead of INTERNAL.
- ListEvents — Requests below the node's retention now return OUT_OF_RANGE instead of INTERNAL.
- SubscribeTransactions and SubscribeCheckpoints subscription resume — Resuming with after/afterCheckpoint no longer replays checkpoints at or below the resume point when the serving replica's streamed tip lags that point.
