Hello everyone,

In order to activate BTP blocks on mainnet, all validators must register public keys. You can follow this tutorial for how to do it here:

https://docs.icon.community/getting-started/how-to-run-a-validator-node/register-prep-node-public-key

Any validators that do not have their public key registered by 9/20 will be registered by the ICON Foundation. You can still re-register your public key subsequently if you want to after that.

Hey everyone

We require all validators to vote on this proposal in order to active our first btp blocks network, if you could please find the time to vote that would be great.

Hello, the Revision 24 proposal, which sets Revision to IISS4R0, has been proposed here https://tracker.icon.community/proposal/0xa44be61c5b11a31b3f0864a686cddcd1e4bea2985007a43930c385914291627b

This begins the transition to IISS 4. For more information, see https://forum.icon.community/t/changes-to-icon-economic-policy-iiss-4/3612/7

Hey everyone, the Revision 24 proposal has been applied. While it is currently possible for validators to initialize and change their commission rates with the chainscore api, I recommend waiting for the community tracker tool. I’ll announce when it’s live on the mainnet tracker along with instructions once it’s ready.

If you do decide to use the chainscore API, please be careful with the values. It can only be initialized once.

The mainnet tracker has been updated. Here are the instructions to set commission rates https://icon.community/learn/commission-rate/

Hello, there is an open network proposal to set the minimum bond to 10,000 ICX. This is part of IISS 4. https://tracker.icon.community/proposal/0x48fd7268c3c97381b6b926aa9378ea7b49ed6a858a4a55d5352e757b7d5291e2

Hello,

This is a reminder announcement to set your commission. We are submitting a proposal to activate IISS 4 next Weds. After that proposal is applied, your node’s and voters’ rewards will be adjusted based on your commission as outlined here https://www.icon.foundation/blog/2024/upcoming-changes-to-icon-economic-policy. The instructions to set your commission are here https://icon.community/learn/commission-rate/.

Please note that you can only initialize your commission once, and whatever you set the Max Commission Rate and Max Commission Rate Change to becomes permanent. If you have any questions or need assistance, please ask in the ICON Main Net Validators TG chat or node_support Discord chat.

Hello, there is an open network proposal to upgrade mainnet from Revision 24 to Revision 25. This activates IISS 4.

https://tracker.icon.community/proposal/0x665551963c94c4d43c86998669635a27f50133e196f0115bce6af07d8f55a725

Hello, Revision 25 is now active on mainnet. Any validator that has not setup their commission rate will earn 0 until they initialize their commission. We will be submitting a proposal next week to enact minimum wage, amongst other things, as part of the Balanced inflation changes.

Hello, the proposal to add minimum wage and enshrine Balanced is up. Please vote for it https://tracker.icon.community/proposal/0xdffa30e47ebf4b3744c456fdf39fe2b3269de0b6e1bd2d2264b6577b56ff86ba

Hello, the proposal to connect ICON to HAVAH BTP mainnet is live. Please vote for it. https://tracker.icon.community/proposal/0x8e8f84d7ec86a2a6a4f64d05703f2894f074ba4c234aa2e5248b8d9b273d3ab7
