Hello Access node operators,

Given the extensive changes on the network, the Flow core development team and application developers are engaged in a testing phase.

At this time we, are asking our **access** node partners to turn off any **public access** to the network to prevent user impact while we test and validate over the next few hours.

An update is forthcoming in 3 to 4 hours.

_If you are running any other node types (collection, consensus, execution, verification) - please continue to run them._

Thank you,  
The Flow Foundation
