Spring 1.0 Status Update: New Target
Spring 1.0 and the Savanna consensus algorithm will be the most significant upgrades to EOS since its network launch. To ensure a smooth rollout and safe transition, the EOS Network Foundation is updating the guidance for release timing and community testing. The stable release is scheduled for September 4, 2024, with the hard fork or consensus upgrade set for September 25, 2024.
Our Commitment to Quality and Security
We are committed to upholding our standards of excellence with the introduction of the new Savanna consensus algorithm in Spring 1.0. This requires thorough testing and analysis, ensuring that each upgrade meets EOS’s legacy of uninterrupted operation.
Important Update for Infrastructure Providers and Technical Partners
Collaboration and readiness for all ecosystem participants is crucial as we gear up for the upcoming Spring 1.0 upgrade. Reflecting on our journey since the last major consensus upgrade with Antelope Leap 3.1, we recognize the importance of a unified effort across the ecosystem for a smooth transition.
Infrastructure providers and technical partners should note these key dates for the Spring 1.0 hard fork:
- Stable Release: September 4, 2024
- Recommended Upgrade Period: September 5-24, 2024
- Hard Fork: September 25, 2024
All node operators must prepare for the upcoming hard fork to continue participating in the EOS network. After activation, the hard fork will dramatically decrease the EOS time to finality from several minutes to mere seconds.
Jungle Testnet Deployment
The public testnet for Antelope Spring Beta was deployed on a purpose-built testnet by CryptoLions, in collaboration with several dedicated Block Producers, including EOS Nation, EOS Sphere, EOS Rio, and EOS USA. This collective effort ensures robust testing and smooth operations, to help us gather essential feedback from developers and users.
