October maintenance release readiness of third parties
Alonzo, Cardano's most recent protocol upgrade, delivered core Plutus smart contract capability to Cardano, bringing exciting new utility and fresh opportunities for businesses and developers.
We are now preparing for an additional maintenance release via the same HFC approach used for Alonzo and with our previous three Cardano protocol updates (‘Shelley’, ‘Allegra’ & ‘Mary’)
While this is a minor update, it will create breaking changes, so we are asking all stake pool operators (SPO and exchanges to update their node software and settings to ensure ongoing full compatibility and prevent service interruption. The HFC event will take place in Epoch 298 on October 22 2021 at 21:44 UTC.
This activity is being led by the Cardano Foundation exchange integration team, which has extensive experience in this domain. The team will be working closely with all exchanges to support them through the integration and to swiftly address any issues slowing them down. Every exchange is different and follows its own integration processes and timelines and as ever, the team is standing by to assist as required.
People holding ada on exchanges or in wallets need to have no concerns about the safety of their ada. However, it is possible that some exchange customers may experience some exchange downtime/service interruption as exchanges complete their final integration work. Any ada holder keeping their funds on an exchange will be able to continue to be able to trade during this period. However, they may encounter issues making withdrawals and deposits temporarily during the time their exchange is updating.
You’ll be able to track status on your preferred exchange, via this curated list of links to the major exchanges/third parties we’ll be working with. Once the integrations start, we’ll track progress here to keep the community updated on the status.
If you have any additional questions, please contact your chosen exchange; while we are working closely with all leading exchanges, they will be able to provide the very latest technical status. If you experience any access issues around this time on your preferred exchange platform, please first contact and log a support ticket with them. We recommend you also check their Twitter – often they will communicate status updates from there. Please also log a support request with us, using the "Submit a request" button. If we know which exchanges are having issues, we can help triage and ensure your exchange has got what it needs to complete an efficient transition to the latest functionality.
Thanks as ever for your support!
