This update details the current network health, validator status, oracle client issues and v0.0.4 security upgrade preparation of SVM testnet. Here you can see all the current status and you can see a very good position by looking at everything here.

In addition, the developers are working on all the minor bugs in the network and the validators here are also working very well and I can see that they are doing a lot of good things by doing everything here.

The developer team is investigating a bug/edge case in the oracle client software as a possible cause. However, this investigation will be published here very soon and we will see something good here by solving all the problems in a very short time.

The performance of the validators in the background duties is continuously monitored due to the unified accountability system of v0.0.3. If the Oracle client experiences a slight desynchronization, signing delay or loop failure, the validator's work may be registered as missed. As a result, the slashing mechanism may be triggered and the validator may be temporarily jailed.

In this case, we will see everything very well. In addition, when you see the Oracle client and everything around it, you will understand everything well.

The main goal now is to fix the situation so that no honest validator is wrongly penalized due to client-side timing or state-management problems.

Proposal 2 is the coordinated v0.0.4 security upgrade. Many of you may have seen our proposal and it has received 100% votes and it is being managed now. You will get more information about it very soon.

  • Preparation for v0.0.4 Upgrade
    The next important tasks are:

  • Oracle Client Patch
    Find the root cause of intermittent validator jailing and patch it.

  • Proposal 2 Execution
    Prepare upgrade coordination by monitoring the final passage of the governance proposal.

  • v0.0.4 Preparation
    Validators have been asked to prepare the environment following the previous staging instructions, so that an automated upgrade can be performed via Cosmovisor.

The core network performance of the SVM testnet remains strong, but fixing the potential oracle-client issue of validator jailing is now a high priority.
