Hello All,

We are releasing a new version of Bor v1.0.0-beta and Heimdall v1.0.0-beta for Mumbai Testnet. This includes Aalborg hardfork on Heimdall which is scheduled for September 12th, 2023. With this hardfork, the “Milestones” feature will be activated which offers faster deterministic finality.

For more information please refer PIP-11: Deterministic finality via Milestones

    sudo service bor stop

  2. Install Bor with a version tag, network name (mumbai), and node type (sentry, validator, or archive).

    # Replace the node type
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/bor.sh | bash -s -- v1.0.0-beta mumbai <node_type>

  3. Check bor version
