This morning, I saw Anza urging validators to act
Solana has a major network milestone to clear tonight 👀
Around 21:30 Beijing time
At the epoch 1079 boundary
Nodes that haven’t upgraded to Agave 4.4.1
or Firedancer 26.10.6
will be forked off
and vote rewards will stop immediately
The patch does just one thing:
sets a minimum loading size for loader-v3 ProgramData
The feature gate activates at the scheduled time
If the two sides calculate things differently, the network splits
It only came out yesterday afternoon
leaving everyone roughly a dozen hours
RPC nodes need to catch up too
or wallets may even read the chain incorrectly
Just making a note of it
This isn’t about the market
It’s a network maintenance day
