Scheduled

We are upgrading our Gravity Mainnet infrastructure to v1.8.0 to support the Alpha hardfork, scheduled to activate on 2026-07-27 at 05:00:00 UTC (13:00:00 Beijing time).

This is a coordinated upgrade required for all nodes to remain in consensus. T

he Alpha hardfork introduces system transaction fee restructuring, deterministic leader-reputation anchoring, and execution-layer correctness improvements. During the maintenance window, brief interruptions to RPC availability may occur.

RPC Changes:
- eth_call — Post-Alpha system transactions now apply zero gas-price pricing rules; RPC replay and trace endpoints enforce the same gas rules as canonical execution to prevent SYSTEM_CALLER spoofing.
- eth_getTransactionByHash — Post-Alpha system transactions remain visible in block bodies with zero gas price and do not debit SYSTEM_CALLER; gas_used fields reflect actual metering.
- eth_traceTransaction — Historical trace and replay endpoints now apply post-Alpha system-transaction gas rules consistently with canonical execution.
