Hello dear node operators,

Flow Mainnet will be sporking on **2022-06-15 08:00am PT** going from **Mainnet-17** to **Mainnet-18**.

The Flow access nodes will be turned off during that time. Once the spork is complete, at around **11 AM PT** (updated), a message will be posted on the [message forum](http://forum.flow.com/c/mainnet-sporks) 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](http://forum.flow.com/c/mainnet-sporks).

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 06/15/22.

ACTIONS needed from your side on **2022-06-15** :

- Perform [Step 1](https://docs.onflow.org/node-operation/spork/#step-1---cleaning-up-previous-spork-state) and then [Step 2](https://docs.onflow.org/node-operation/spork/#step-2---start-your-node) when you see the announcement “Mainnet Spork Complete” on the forum or Discord.

As always, feel free to reach out on discord for support.

For tomorrow’s spork the docker image tag is `v0.26.9`  
Hot-stuff start up time is `--hotstuff-startup-time=2022-06-15T18:00:00Z` (applies only to collection and consensus nodes).  
We will request you to start your node at **11:00 AM pacific**

Thank you,  
Flow Team
