We have successfully tested and released a patch that resolves the issue with the bep3 asset supply limit not being upgradable. The patch will take effect July 10th, 2020 at 14:00.

Kava node operators need to update to v0.9.1

In order to have a smooth update, it is important that all node operators update their nodes prior to the patch taking effect. There is no need to wait until a specific time to update, you can do so at any time by following this guide.

Update To v0.9.1

To update your existing node:

# from the kava directory
git fetch origin
git checkout v0.9.1
make install
# restart the kvd process. If using a systemd service named kvd
sudo systemctl restart kvd

To verify that the binary is updated

kvd version --longname: kava
server_name: kvd
client_name: kvcli
version: 0.9.1
commit: c2d620d78d592af3fb44997e13b346471cdc89d4
build_tags: netgo,ledger
go: go version go1.14.4 linux/amd64

After the patch takes effect, syncing a new kava-3 node will require v0.9.1+
