NOTICE: UPDATED the announcement ⬆️ 2 points updated⬇️ 1. The node client upgrade is high priority. It's not mandatory but highly recommended. 2. Before the upgrade applies, keep the miner running and DO NOT do any upgrade operations

⚠️12/17 Khala Network Runtime 1090 Notice⚠️ (This upgrade will be carried out at around 10am UST/18pm CST, 17th ,please pay attention to the official announcement at that time, do not do any upgrade before on-chain upgrade) The new runtime version 1090 is a minor upgrade. It addresses the following problems: - Upgrade to the upstream Substrate v0.9.13 - Prepare the backfill of Phala-Network/phala-blockchain#527(https://github.com/Phala-Network/phala-blockchain/issues/527) - Better event generation for indexers Phala-Network/phala-blockchain#592(https://github.com/Phala-Network/phala-blockchain/pull/592) ========= Upgrade instructions This upgrade is an on-chain runtime upgrade. This node client upgrade is a high priority. It is not mandatory, but highly recommended. The newer node can introduce some improvements on stability and performance. >> For service providers that run a full node: If you run any 3rd party Substrate client which cannot deal with the runtime upgrade (i.e. subxt, GSRPC), you will need to restart the client after the runtime upgrade applies. Otherwise the newly signed transactions will have an invalid signature. Polkadot.js based clients should be able to automatically pick up the new metadata. >> For solo miners: You will need to upgrade to the latest pherry docker image, because only the new version can connect to the runtime based on v0.9.13. Please strictly follow the follow step to upgrade: 1. Before the upgrade applies, keep the miner running and DO NOT do any upgrade operations 2. sudo docker kill phala-pherry 3. sudo docker pull phalanetwork/phala-pherry 4. sudo phala start 5. Please not that you don't need to stop or restart pruntime. For the instructions in detail, please read the solo mining wiki. >> For Gatekeeper operators: Please follow the steps of the above solo miner. >> For PRB cluster miners: You don't have to upgrade PRB. However an upgrade of both PRB and the full node is recommended. Github: https://github.com/Phala-Network/khala-parachain/releases/tag/v0.1.9

⚠️ 1114 Network Update Issue #500--Fixed ⚠️ The Phala development team has now fixed issue #500. To this end, we need to perform an on-chain upgrade to ensure that all abnormally locked $PHAs are unlocked. Affected by the on-chain upgrade, miners need to restart pherry. The method is as follows: #Reason for upgrade Solve Issue #500 and other known issues. #Restart method ## For miner -Solo mining script

sudo phala stop pherry
sudo phala start

-Prb Please restart all services except pruntime ## For developer You may experience your application no longer sending transactions after Khala finishing runtime upgrade, restart should resolve this. ## For node runner You don’t need to do anything #Notice This restart of pherry is expected to be a few minutes (network stability).

⚠️Attention ⚠️ Recently, there have been phishing attacks in the community in the name of "helping miners solve PRB problems and other issues" . Phala team hereby reminds you not to trust such information to avoid property damage. If you have any questions about mining, please seek for help from official administrators and Phala forum first. Official volunteers use has the title "MOD"/"ambassador" in the group. Please identify them carefully. Phala team
