Great Cardano SPO Call today - Notes for June 4th

1. Van Rossem Hard Fork Preparations
- Things are looking GREEN for the hard fork
- node 11.0.1: SPOs need to upgrade now
- Pre-view cost model has worked, Pre-prod in progress
- Plutus Cost model is on main net: DReps and CC need to vote
- 72% of blocks on main net are now protocol v11
- Ogmios and Kupo are hard fork ready
- Hard fork proposal will go on main net after Pre-prod completes successfully
- Go / No Go in on June 15th

2. Ouroboros Leois
- DevNet is generating a large amount of simulated traffic for testing
- Working on improving the mempool to increase throughput
- @SundaeSwap is helping put transaction load on the DevNet
- High confidence track to deploy Leios to main net eventually, still working on establishing high criteria in security and liveness in preparation for main net.
- Need early involvement from community on TSC, Civics committees etc… alignment for eventual main net. Date TBD.
- Will take some time to get production ready for mainnet as it is a major protocol upgrade.
- Public SPO testnet will launch the last week of June

All Digital Fortress [DIGI] Cardano nodes are updated to node version 11.0.1 on mainnet in order to proceed past the PV11 boundary - van Rossem hard fork preparations are under way!

[Rick McCracken DIGI 🇺🇸 @RickMcCracken]

All Digital Fortress Cardano nodes are updated to 10.5.4 🫡

[Rick McCracken DIGI 🇺🇸 @RickMcCracken]

When Midnight launches you can earn $NIGHT tokens in addition to your regular Ada rewards by staking Ada to any Digital Fortress (DIGI) pool.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

Digital Fortress is on the latest Cardano Node version and correct canonical chain, mitigating the mainnet fork situation on the nodes we control. Systems are looking good.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

@shi3gs Yup. When Midnight launches you can earn Night tokens in addition to your regular Ada rewards by staking Ada to any Digital Fortress pool.

Cardano pools that run midnight validators will be eligible to earn these rewards for their delegators, which we will be doing.

[Rick McCracken DIGI 🇺🇸 @RickMcCracken]

The Midnight testnet has massively improved the past year.

The Midnight devs put in a lot work, and Digital Fortress Midnight nodes are running nice and smooth. I'm getting pumped for the mainnet launch 🚀

Make sure to claim your NIGHT tokens, this is going to be epic! Link 👇

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

All Digital Fortress Cardano nodes across the mainnet, preview, pre-production, and Sanchonet networks have been updated to Cardano-node version 10.1.4.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

Digital Fortress Cardano stake pools are ready for the Plomin Hard Fork decision deadline for January 24, 2025.

All nodes were updated to version 10.1.3, and "Yes" votes for delegated Ada stake weight was cast in December 2024.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

Digital Fortress voted Yes to activate the Plomin Hard Fork.

The Plomin Hard Fork enables full CIP-1694 governance functionality, including DRep voting on all actions, treasury withdrawals, constitutional updates, and votes of no confidence, while also introducing new Plutus primitives for advanced cryptographic and logical operations.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

All Digital Fortress Cardano main net servers are upgraded to Cardano-node 10.1.3

Ready for the #PlominHardFork

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

@AndrejNguyen93 After 80% of nodes by stake are upgraded, all critical infrastructure devs have had time to test updates, and the vast majority of (Ada held by) Exchanges indicate they are ready.

So likely January, possibly December, but December may be a bit too soon.

[Digital Fortress 🇺🇲 @DIGI_StakePool]

All Digital Fortress nodes are migrated to Cardano node 10.1.2.

Ready for Chang 2 #Cardano 😎
