Upgrade to v1.13.0

Thursday August 1 2024

Following proposal 420 This indicates that the upgrade procedure should be performed on block number 80319200

Summary​

The Injective Canonical Chain will undergo a scheduled enhancement upgrade on Jan 11th 14:00 UTC.

The following is a short summary of the upgrade steps:

  1. Vote and wait till the node panics at block height 80319200.
  2. Backing up configs, data, and keys used for running the Injective Canonical Chain.
  3. Install the v1.13.0-1722157491
  4. Start your node with the new injectived binary to fulfill the upgrade.

Upgrade coordination and support for validators will be available on the #validators private channel of the Injective Discord.

The network upgrade can take the following potential pathways:

  1. Happy path
    Validators successfully upgrade chain without purging the blockchain history and all validators are up within 5-10 minutes of the upgrade.

  2. Not-so-happy path
    Validators have trouble upgrading to latest Canonical chain.

  3. Abort path
    In the rare event that the team becomes aware of unnoticed critical issues, the Injective team will attempt to patch all the breaking states and provide another official binary within 36 hours.
    If the chain is not successfully resumed within 36 hours, the upgrade will be announced as aborted on the #mainnet-validators channel of Discord, and validators will need to resume running the chain without any updates or changes.

Recovery​

Prior to exporting chain state, validators are encouraged to take a full data snapshot at the export height before proceeding. Snapshotting depends heavily on infrastructure, but generally this can be done by backing up the .injectived directory.

It is critically important to backup the .injectived/data/priv_validator_state.json file after stopping your injectived process. This file is updated every block as your validator participates in a consensus rounds. It is a critical file needed to prevent double-signing, in case the upgrade fails and the previous chain needs to be restarted.

In the event that the upgrade does not succeed, validators and operators must restore the snapshot and downgrade back to Injective Chain v1.12.1 release and continue the chain until next upgrade announcement.

Upgrade Procedure​

Notes for Validators​

You must remove the wasm cache before upgrading to the new version (rm -rf .injectived/wasm/wasm/cache/).

  1. Verify you are currently running the correct version (c1a64b7ed) of injectived:

       injectived version
       Version dev (c1a64b7ed)
       Compiled at 20240122-0743 using Go go1.19.3 (amd64)

  2. Make a backup of your .injectived directory

    cp ~/.injectived ./injectived-backup
    1. Download and install the injective-chain v1.13.0 release
    wget https://github.com/InjectiveLabs/injective-chain-releases/releases/download/v1.13.0-1722157491/linux-amd64.zip
    unzip linux-amd64.zip
    sudo mv injectived peggo /usr/bin
    sudo mv libwasmvm.x86_64.so /usr/lib

  3. Verify you are currently running the correct version (c1a64b7ed) of injectived after downloading the v1.13.0 release:

    injectived version
    Version dev (af924ca9)
    Compiled at 20240728-0905 using Go go1.22.5 (amd64)

  4. Start injectived

    injectived start

  5. Verify you are currently running the correct version (ead1119) of peggo after downloading the v1.13.0 release:

     peggo version
     Version dev (ead1119)
     Compiled at 20240728-0905 using Go go1.22.5 (amd64)

  6. Start peggo
