Dear #KIRA Community, our team has prepared the most recent infrastructure overview for you. We are now planning an upcoming release of the KIRA Manager, the new Upgrade Module, and deployment modes.
Here is the shortlist of top5 new features and updates:
🔹 KIRA Manager (KM) is an infrastructure management tool allowing for the deployment of validators, sentries, and seed nodes with just a single line of code.
🔹 One of the new features of the KM is the possibility of joining the validator set without the need for command line use and manually submitting the “claim-validator-seat” transaction.
🔹 Privacy P2P Mode - it allows for easy deployment of your KIRA nodes within the private networks. If the privacy mode is enabled then nodes deployed outside of the private network will not be able to communicate with your node via P2P (propagate blocks).
🔹Deployment modes of the KIRA manager have been simplified and optimized in order to decrease disk space requirements and support a wider variety of VPS providers.
🔹 Upgrade Module - the main highlight of the testnet-5 and the upcoming KM release is the support of the automated on-chain upgrades. Upgrade module is a blockchain application that allows validators to coordinate soft & hard forks as well as agree on the integrity and content of each new KIRA release.
We are excited to share this update with you, bringing more clarity on what to expect and how to prepare your infrastructure for the upcoming incentivized games. We will also publish a detailed mainnet launch roadmap in the upcoming weeks.

Dear KIRA community, we are happy to announce the final pre-Mainnet release of #KIRA Network! 🌟
Here is the latest news from our team:
5️⃣ Testnet-5 is the final blockchain application release that includes the automated upgrades feature and Identity Registrar module. We will use this release with the same set of features for the upcoming games and challenges if no critical issues are identified and all public tests of the new modules are successful.
👨💻 KIRA Identity Registrar is the new module that enables every KIRA account holder to prove any arbitrary statements on-chain without the need for any single, centralized authority to hold control over verifying that data and without need for the user to expose their private information to third parties they might not trust.
💻 KIRA Automated Upgrade is the new module that enables network operators to fully automate soft and hard forks, making coordination process of upgrading and launching new releases of the software simple and transparent.
🕹 In preparation for the upcoming Mainnet launch, KIRA Team will be holding at least two incentivized games with the goal of stress testing the network and selecting trusted (non-sybil), identifiable, and most skilled network operators to join the initial validator set.
In order to join testnet while registration form is still open visit testers.kira.network channel and check the pinned post containing detailed instructions. You can also contact support.kira.network in case of any questions and inquiries.

❗️**ATTENTION** ❗️
All #KIRA testnet validators MUST manually reinitialize their nodes using testnet-9 branch
🔹List of peers to connect with can be found here: https://testnet-rpc.kira.network/api/pub_p2p_list?ip_only=true&connected=true
🔹Starting block of the testnet-9 chain is 920527
🔹After re-init nodes will be syncing until 2/3 of validators come online
Currently 167/263 of all validators who voted YES on the update proposal are live, only 10 more needed to reach > 2/3 and launch the network!
