Big week for Week 36
- The validator set has now increased from 64 to 80. During the hard fork, we encountered several issues that need to be addressed, as the process did not run as smoothly as expected.
- For future reference, we will send out bi-weekly reminder notices. This time, the reminder was left in draft mode, and I forgot to send it out, partially my fault.
- Going forward, we will ensure that everyone is notified to set the upgrade height at least 100 blocks before the actual upgrade block height in all future announcements.
Data for Week 36
- High Overall Uptime: The 91.25% of validators in the dataset maintained very high average uptime during Week 36. The most common uptime range was between 99.8% and 100%. Enigma and Lavender. Seven have fallen below 99% uptime, due to hardfork upgrade. During the initial upgrade, with support from NodeGuru, 20 validators did not manage to upgrade on time, 14 from the active set and 6 from the inactive set. We were able to contact them and bring 18 nodes back online before September 6th. Unfortunately, 3 nodes were jailed due to the failed upgrade.
