Connext v1 Deprecation

Please upgrade to v2.0 ASAP

tl:dr; We’re shutting down the v1 hub on the 1st of December.

Now that v2.0 of Connext is live and stable, we’re deprecating the v1 code in favor of the new update.

What Does This Mean?

• We will no longer be making updates to the v1 codebase (except in the unlikely case that user funds are trapped or compromised).
• On the 30th of November, the Connext team will dispute all channels which still contain funds. This will refund any remaining balance to whichever address sent funds to the v1 contract.
• On the 1st of December, the Connext team will officially shut down the Rinkeby and Mainnet v1 hub and move all remaining hub collateral to v2.0.

How Do I Upgrade to v2.0?

If you are using the Connext v1 hub in any way, reach out to us on discord or by emailing us at support@connext.network so that we can help you transition to v2.0.

The following resources can also help with integrating the new version:
