Hello. This is FIRMACHAIN.

Due to the recent BSC exploit issue, the cosmos sdk and ics related libraries went through a live patch.

As such, we have also patched our mainnet network based on the guidelines outlined in the cosmos sdk v0.44.5-patch. We hereby announce that we have also completed the testing of the patch.

* Please note that if you have already completed the dragonberry patch, you do not have to apply the following.

The binary can be downloaded from the link below.

If you wish to build the code yourself before applying, you can refer to the code below.

git clone https://github.com/FirmaChain/firmachain.git
cd firmachain
git checkout v0.3.3-patch
make install

// you can find firmachind file in “~/go/bin” folder

Through the following command please check the firmachaind’s commit, version, library patch history.

firmachaind version — long

version: 0.3.3-patch or 0.3.3–6bcd9e15
commit: 6bcd9e15407f5207e8a2d03e6488301aecb9f98b


- github.com/confio/ics23/go@v0.6.6 => github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/ics23/go@v0.8.0

cosmos_sdk_version: v0.44.5-patch

Instead of a software upgrade, the process will be complete if you safely close the running firmachaind (if it is a service, conduct service stop before proceeding) and then simply re-run the patched file.

We express our gratitude to Active Node for informing us and sharing the means to respond to the issue.

Thank you.
