Crust Preview Network Upgrade
As the Polkadot parachain slot auction is approaching, Crust has recently continued to improve its protocols and mechanisms, striving for a better user experience, and making full preparations for the Crust mainnet launch. Please note the nodes that have not been upgraded after 1,197,800 blocks (around April 20th, 2021 12:00 (GMT+8)) will be invalid. To avoid unnecessary losses, please execute the upgrade as soon as possible.
