Abstract

This is a software upgrade proposal for Paloma to v2.1.2 for Paloma’s TESTNEST and MAINNEST tumbler networks. This release includes a bug fix setting the correct denomination for Paloma LightNode Grain rewards.

Motivation

The motivations for this Paloma upgrade include the following:

Fix the correct denomination for Paloma LightNode Grain rewards. Currently, grain rewards are in ugrains so each LightNode will mine 50,000 GRAINs or 50000000000ugrains.

Specification Overview

The specification for this release includes the following features:

  1. Bug fix setting the correct denomination for Paloma LightNode Grain rewards.

Technical Specification

Paloma v2.1.2 upgrade includes the following:

Prior to upgrade

  1. An upgrade proposal that must be submitted by anyone running a node on the network. This proposal should have the correct block height.
  2. Please use the following spreadsheet to calculate the approximate Block Height. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eoXoDWWYHIOYbdPiv8B6vfwDUUkelZgeifnX4foa7yw/edit#gid=0
  3. This upgrade proposal requires 10 GRAIN or 10000000ugrain for deposit for voting.
  4. IMPORTANT: The upgrade height is the block height where the chain halts and requires the upgrade. Allow at least one (1) day AFTER voting end time and upgrade-height for 2/3 of the network to have downloaded the new binary and prepped for the switch over to avoid/minimize downtime of the Paloma chain.
  5. The Target block height for chain halt for this proposal is tentative 22805165 or approximately 08/29/2024, 6:30 UTC See (Block height: 22805165)

How to check if 2/3 of the network is online after the vote is complete

curl -s localhost:26657/consensus_state | jq -r ".result.round_state.height_vote_set[0].prevotes_bit_array"

—> needs to return ≥ ~0.67 for the chain to start up again

To see which validators are online with the new binary, use GitHub - blockpane/pvtop: top-like tui for watching validator pre-votes on Tendermint chains

Rationale

We are upgrading Paloma to achieve the following objectives:

  1. Fix setting the correct denomination for Paloma LightNode Grain rewards.
