Getting Prepared for the Upgrade

As always, we recommend validators use 64GB of RAM. It is possible to get away with less, but still not recommended. If you are unable to have 64GB of RAM, at a minimum have a total of 64GB of swap set to prevent out of memory errors.

We highly recommend upgrading with Cosmovisor. To do this, please manually build and copy the strided binary to /cosmovisor/upgrades/v6/bin/.

Details of Upgrade Time

The proposal targets the upgrade proposal block to be 2,559,552, anticipated to be on Monday, February 27th 2023 at 15 UTC. Because blocks can occur at irregular intervals, please keep an eye on the Stride chain for a precise upgrade time.

In case anything concerning happens at upgrade time, we will notify all validators immediately on the #validator-announcements channel on Discord.
