Announcements

Hi all,

We are releasing a new Heimdall version v1.2.4 which is a hotfix for the Bhilai Hard Fork on Mainnet, which upgrades the bor client to version v2.1.1.

Action Required:

All mainnet operators are strongly recommended to upgrade their heimdall nodes to heimdall v1.2.4 to ensure continued compatibility and stability post-HF.

This release addresses network compatibility issues and is essential for seamless participation in mainnet consensus following the Bhilai upgrade.

Steps for Upgrading Heimdall

Before proceeding, please create a backup of your heimdall config file whose default location is: /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml. This might differ if you have setup heimdall at a different location.

  1. Stop heimdalld service

    sudo service heimdalld stop

  2. Install heimdall with a version tag, network name (amoy or mainnet), and node type (sentry or validator).

    # Replace the network and node type
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/heimdall.sh | bash -s -- v1.2.4 <network> <node_type>

  3. Check heimdall version

    /usr/bin/heimdalld version

# It should print
# 1.2.4

  4. Restart heimdall service

    sudo service heimdalld start

  5. Restart the telemetry services

    sudo service telemetry restart
