Hello node operators,
Flow Mainnet will be sporking on 2022-11-02 08:00am PT/ 3:00 pm UTC going from Mainnet-19 to Mainnet-20.
The Flow access nodes will be turned off during that time. Once the spork is complete, at around 9:30 AM PT, a message will be posted on the message forum and on Discord requesting you to start your nodes.
Please make sure you have subscribed for updates on http://forum.flow.com/c/mainnet-sporks or have joined the Discord #flow-validators channel.
Your keys will be carried from the current spork, so no need to resubmit the keys.
Flow Port staking downtime during spork:
We’d also like to note that Flow Port will be inaccessible during the duration of this spork, and staking features will be disabled until 8:00 AM Pacific Time on 11/03/22.
