Release 2.6.8
This release introduces a patch that adds to the transition period before the activation of Arweave 2.6’s trustless price oracle, in order to give miners additional time to on-board packed data to the network. The release delays the onset of the transition window by 4 months, and extends the interpolation between of old and new pricing systems to 18 months, from 12. This release introduces a hard fork that activates at height 1,189,560, approximately 2023-05-30 16:00 UTC.
Please note that the activation date for this patch is May 30th, as the present version has a real but small effect on end-user storage pricing. You will need to make sure you have upgraded your miner before this time to connect to the network.
