Hey, validators!


Today, we announced plans for the Protocol 22 Upgrade.


Key dates:

  • November 12, 1700 UTC: Testnet upgrade

  • December 5, 1700 UTC: Mainnet upgrade vote


To arm your validator for the Mainnet upgrade vote, use the following command:
upgrades?mode=set&upgradetime=2024-12-05T17:00:00Z&protocolversion=22


For complete and up-to-date information on what you need to do to prepare, check out the Protocol 22 Upgrade Guide:

Protocol 22 introduces constructors for Soroban, which make it easier to initialize smart contracts, as well as support for BLS12-381 encryption, which opens up new possibilities for advanced cryptographic functions like zk-SNARKS.
