BETA-0.9.2

BETA-0.9.2

This version brings one new feature and two new endpoints to Pocket Core:

New feature: LeanPocket

LeanPocket is a configuration that enables multiple Pocket instances to run on a single process, allowing node runners to consolidate resources, resulting in better scalability and reduced hardware costs.

1. Create a new lean_nodes_keys.json file inside your Pocket configuration directory (typically .pocket).

2. Format the file with a JSON array of your node's private keys:

   [
     { "priv_key": "<PRIVATE_KEY_1>" },
     { "priv_key": "<PRIVATE_KEY_2>" }
   ]

3. Set/update your validators:

pocket accounts set-validators <path/to/lean_nodes_keys.json>

4. Edit your node's config.json file to add lean_pocket: "true"; in the pocket_config block.

5. If you run a script that starts the Pocket service, add --keybase=false to the pocket start command.

6. Edit your proxy settings such that the /v1 endpoint is publicly accessible for every one of your nodes.

7. Restart your Pocket service, making sure to add the --keybase=false option.

New API endpoints

• /v1/query/unconfirmedtxs: Returns all unconfirmed transactions in the mempool for a given node. Transactions are decoded following the same format as blocktxs (hash + stdTx). Try it out: https://docs.pokt.network/api-docs/pokt/

• /v1/query/unconfirmedtx: Returns an unconfirmed transaction in the mempool, specified by the transaction hash. Try it out: https://docs.pokt.network/api-docs/pokt/

RC-0.9.1.1

RC-0.9.1.1

This release includes future consensus rules change, that when activated, will require all nodes on the network to be running at least this version of the software to be able to continue to be part of the network.

The consensus rule change is activated after the chain reaches a specific height (TBD) in an upcoming upgrade transaction, so please update as soon and safely as possible to avoid your node falling out of consensus when the upgrade hits.

Changes Included in this release:

• This release fixes an issue with the Relay Reward logic found here.

This bug prevents Non-Custodial staking nodes to receive rewards when PIP-22 is enabled, failing with the following error: no validator found for address.

Upgrade:

(Same as previous releases)
Shutdown Pocket Core

!!! Ensure golang version 1.17 !!! or > golang upgrade

Startup script linux users might find this useful (BenVan's Validator Script Only)

sudo apt-get update
g install 1.17

Build from source or Docker:

To build the latest binary from source, follow these steps:

Navigate into your pocket-core directory:
Example: cd ~/go/src/github.com/pokt-network/pocket-core

Enter: pocket version
You should see anything except RC-0.9.1.1

To grab the latest packages and tags we are going to clean the cache, swap branches to the latest tag using:
go clean --cache
git pull
git checkout tags/RC-0.9.1.1
Once you checked out the latest tag and branch, we are going to rebuild the binary by entering in:
go build -o $GOPATH/bin/pocket ./app/cmd/pocket_core/main.go

After it builds, make sure you are on the latest release version by entering in:
pocket version

Output will be RC-0.9.1.1

For individuals using Docker, all you will need to do to get the new container image is run:

docker pull poktnetwork/pocket-core:RC-0.9.1.1

or

docker pull poktnetwork/pocket:RC-0.9.1.1

Depending on which of the 2 Docker images you want to use.

BETA-0.9.1.1

RC-0.9.0

RC-0.9.0

This release includes future consensus rules change, that when activated, will require all nodes on the network to be running at least this version of the software to be able to continue to be part of the network.

The consensus rule change is activated after the chain reaches a specific height (TBD) in an upcoming upgrade transaction, so please update as soon and safely as possible to avoid your node falling out of consensus when the upgrade hits.

Nodes Running BETA-0.9.0 are recommended to switch to RC-0.9.0 version.

Changes Included in this release:

• Mempool Refinements.
• Implementation of PIP22 (Stake Weighted Servicer Rewards)[RSCAL][VEDIT]. (@Andrew-Pohl)
• Customizable Max Block Size bytes and new tendermint evidence age.[BLOCK].
• New RPC endpoint for querying accounts (.../v1/query/accounts).
• Backport tendermint #6068 (terminate broadcastEvidenceRoutine when peer is stopped).

RC-0.8.2

This version include changes to the CLI commands (staking/unstaking/unjail):

Now we have the two options for staking clearly differentiated, each with its own command.

-pocket nodes stake custodial <fromAddr> <amount> <RelayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> <isBefore8.0>

-pocket nodes stake non-custodial <operatorPublicKey> <outputAddress> <amount> <RelayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> <isBefore8.0>

NOTE : The legacy stake command pocket nodes stake <fromAddr> <amount> <relayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> is not available on this release.
Please use pocket nodes stake custodial <fromAddr> <amount> <relayChainIDs> <serviceURI> <networkID> <fee> true as a replacement.
