Please be prepared to vote on Wednesday August 21 at 8:00 UTC for new transaction executor behavior, dispatch queue activation and increasing minimal split.
Details can be found here. Proposed changes will allow network to more evenly distribute load, improve stability of block generation and serialization process.
All validators MUST be updated to the latest version before voting. Target versions:

Validation slots
406 candidates participated in the last validator elections.
According to the network rules each round candidates are sorted by effective stake size and the first 400 validators are elected to become validators.
If you don't have enough stake to pass as sole validator, that is less than 355'000 TON at the moment, - please participate in network maintenance via staking https://ton.org/stake.
Mainnet validators
Proposal to increase gas limit for special transactions, in particular election, was accepted! Thank you.
Reminder Mainnet Validators
Please be prepared for vote tomorrow on Tuesday July 2 at 8:00 UTC.
Proposal will contain increase special_gas_limit from 35'000'000 to 70'000'000 in Config Parameter 20. In particular, this will allow Elector to conduct elections when more than 400 applications are submitted. Please note that according to the current configuration, the maximum number of validators is still limited to 400.
More details here.

Validators require 128Gb RAM
In a previous update, we implemented a Fast State Serializer, which reduces blockchain state serialization time from 18 hours to ~50 minutes.
This frees up more resources for the validator to work on validating transactions and blocks, which is necessary for network performance in general.
Fast serialization works only if there is enough RAM.
According to requirements validator should have at least 128Gb RAM. If you have less - please upgrade your hardware.
This message is for validators only.
Scheduled network update on August 12
We are asking validators to schedule a time on August 12 at 9:00 UTC for validator software update.
This update is mandatory and, among other things, contains introduction of dispatch queue and drastic improvement of state serialization process.
In the light of upcoming increase of network load we remind validators about importance of having strong machines, in particular having at least 128 GB of Memory.
Сritical vulnerability in OpenSSH
Recently a critical vulnerability in OpenSSH was discovered: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-6387
Since most of validators work on Ubuntu/Debian releases and use OpenSSH, we recommend check and update software on validator nodes if necessary.

Mainnet Validators Urgent Action Required
Please be prepared to vote for new gas limits for special transactions July 2 at 8:00 UTC.
In recent weeks, the number of validators has grown to a level that threatens the normal conduct of elections. Limits must be updated to continue smooth operation. If you are planning to launch a validator soon, please postpone it until the end of next week.
