We RND has officially tagged a release for Regen Ledger v6.0.0. A thorough testing process was executed for the last weeks and went through the release candidate phase to ensure the success of the software upgrade if the proposal is approved by the community.
As usual, the software upgrade on mainnet (Regen Mainnet) will be preceded by an upgrade on our stable test network (Testnet), providing an opportunity for validators to participate in a software upgrade on a live network before going through the same process on Regen Mainnet. The validator upgrade guide will be made available once an official release has been tagged and we are ready to submit the on-chain proposals for Regen Mainnet and TestNet.
New Features
Cosmos-SDK v0.47
CosmoWasm
Token Burn Functionality
And Migration regen.data.v1 and migrate to the regen.data.v2
Thank you for all the work here @Jeancarlo ! I’m in favor of the upgrade! Regen Foundation has long been awaiting the functionality enabled by DAO DAO for our CSDAO program, and this upgrade will lay the groundwork for that!
Sam Bennetts from Regen Network Development, PBC here. I’m fully supportive of this upgrade proposal!
I want to extend my thanks to @Jeancarlo, @anilcse, and the entire Vitwit team for their work in making this upgrade possible.
Current Status
For those who haven’t been following the updates in Discord, here’s where we stand:
Testnet Progress: The Vitwit team launched a new testnet last month, which has been running smoothly without issues.
RND Dev Team Review: On RND’s side, the dev team has thoroughly tested the regen.data.v2 and has prepared the necessary updates for the Regen Network app (app.regen.network), as well as the regen-js API. Everything looks good on our end.
Next Steps
Given the successful testing and preparation, I believe we’re ready to move forward with an on-chain proposal.
Vitwit has reviewed and resolved the earlier upgrade issues, which were caused by misconfigured store keys. We’ve since conducted multiple rounds of internal testing and finalized the release of v6.0.0, which is now available here: Release Regen Ledger v6.0.0 🌱 · regen-network/regen-ledger · GitHub
We were joined by several community validators, Polkachu, Chainpiper, EcoBridge, and Earthist, in testing the upgrade flow. We’re happy to report that the upgrade proceeded smoothly and without any issues on the testnet.
With this additional layer of validation, we’re confident that the mainnet upgrade can now proceed safely and reliably. Kudos to everyone who participated in making this successful!
