Hello Flow Node Operators,
The Flow Foundation is currently investigating a potential security incident affecting the Flow network. To resolve the issue, the network will undergo a full network upgrade (spork).
Please be prepared to update your nodes. The exact ETA is not yet confirmed, but we expect the spork to occur within the next few hours.
Action Required (Ahead of the Network Upgrade)
1) Access Nodes / EVM Gateway (EVM GW)
If you are running an Access Node or EVM Gateway, please shut down your node before the network upgrade begins.
2) All Other Node Types
If you are running a Consensus, Collection, Verification, or Execution node, please shut down your node at the time of the network upgrade.
After the Network Upgrade
Once the network upgrade is complete, we will post an update on both the Message Forum and Discord, requesting that you restart your nodes. Please be on the lookout for the announcement and ensure you are subscribed to updates:
- Subscribe to the forum thread for notifications, and/or
- Join the Discord

When you see the announcement “Mainnet Spork Complete”, please perform Step 1, followed by Step 2.
Note: Flow Port will be inaccessible during the upgrade, and staking features will be disabled until the spork is complete.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Flow Foundation
