pls don't enable this flag: --monitor.maliciousvote, there is a bug, fixed in latest develop branch.

Attention

It is a hard-fork release for BSC mainnet.

The mainnet is expected to have a scheduled hardfork upgrade named Luban at block height 29,020,050. The current block generation speed forecasts this to occur around 12th Jun 2023.

The Luban hardfork includes 3 BEPs:
BEP-126: Introduce Fast Finality Mechanism(The 1st Part)
BEP-174: Cross Chain Relayer Management
BEP-221: CometBFT Light Block Validation

The validators and full node operators on mainnet should switch their software version to v1.2.4 before 12th Jun 2023.

As Luban introduces the 1st part of FastFinality, and if you are operating a validator, extra steps are needed to generate the voting key and some configuration setup are also needed, for detail, you may refer: For Validator Operator
