GM Masters of Nodes! 🛠 ⚠️ Due to the need to validate a scenario that may happen on mainnet, we will be resetting the testnet once again. We will use the previous responses and submissions for genesis, but anyone willing to participate is more than welcome to register. If that is the case, please visit the following link to fill in the required information: submit your data here. We will be distributing the extra needed xEGLD soon after the genesis. Tentative Timeline - 16 May: Testnet reset - 16 May: Genesis epoch - Until 20 May: Upgrade to rc/v1.7.11 Thanks for your understanding and we apologize for the short notice. We will follow-up with further information about the reset and the upgrade announcements.

Good Morning Masters of Nodes! 🛠 As we make final preparations for the upgrade to Staking v4, we have decided to take additional time to ensure everything runs smoothly. Consequently, we will be postponing the testnet upgrade originally scheduled for today, April 24th. As always we are committed to providing the highest user experience and will share a new timeline for the upgrade soon (will still try to keep the initial timeline). Stay tuned for further updates!

GM Master of Nodes! 🛠 As announced in our previous meetings, the upcoming testnet reset is approaching. As part of this process, we request your participation in creating the list of public BLS keys for the validator nodes to be added at genesis, along with the associated rewards addresses. To facilitate this, we have created a form for you to enter and submit your data. Please visit the following link: https://form.typeform.com/to/NFt6aJ40. We encourage all interested validators to fill in the required information. The Battle Of Stakes was a success; we managed to identify and fix two minor bugs. Nevertheless, the xEGLD for special scenarios will be distributed as requested through this form: https://form.typeform.com/to/d4Fk9yIh soon after the genesis. If you have not yet made your request, there is still time to do so. Here is a tentative timeline for the upcoming events: - 18.04.2024: Publish the form for data submission. - 22.04.2024: Start the reset procedures (we will use the same software version that runs on the mainnet). - 24.04.2024: Upgrade the testnet to Staking v4. We will provide further information and details about the winners of the Battle of Stakes campaign tomorrow. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your cooperation and a big thank you to all participants in the campaign; your contributions will not go unnoticed. P.S.: If you have not yet voted on the Vega proposal, you still have 18 hours left to do so at https://governance.multiversx.com/. Best of luck!

The highly anticipated Vega mainnet upgrade, centered around and known as Staking Phase 4, is now being voted on. All EGLD stakers (regular & liquid) can participate to make it happen.
