Update 1.29.0 (testnet – Alonzo hardfork)

We’ve updated our testnet nodes to 1.29.0. This update is needed for the upcoming Alonzo hardfork which will activate the long awaited smart contract capabilities.
As always, our testservers on testnet lead the way before porting to mainnet. This give us plenty of time to prepare the upgrade when IO sends out their approval to start upgrading mainnet.

Update 1.27.0

Cardano-node version 1.27.0 successfully tested on tested. During test period no issues were found.

1.27.0 will gradually be ported to our mainnet nodes

Update 1.27.0 (testnet)

Cardano-node version 1.27.0 is installed on our testnet servers. If during test period no issues are found we will port it to our production nodes.

Version 1.27.0 includes many fundamental changes that are needed to prepare for forthcoming feature releases (notably Plutus scripts in the Alonzo era).

Thank you Cardano Foundation!

A big thank you to the Cardano Foundation who selected us for their current delegation cycle.

We put a lot of effort maintaining our servers and making sure we keep making blocks no matter what.
Next to making blocks we are, to put it in the words of IO, also working on some birds of our own.
Currently this is still in early stages but we hope to bring out some more news about that very soon.

Update 1.26.2

On Thursday almost all stakepools were affected by an unexpectedly long pause at the epoch boundary.

After further investigation by IO, they concluded this was due to the node repeating a computation that should have been done just once at the epoch boundary.

As per recommendations by IO all nodes are now upgraded to 1.26.2.
