First, thank you for making the time and effort to help upgrade the RChain test net following the release of RNode v0.7. Since RNode v0.7 includes breaking changes, the plan is to take down the current test nest and relaunch a test net using RNode v0.7 the week of Oct. 15.
RNode v0.7.1 is released! Please see https://developer.rchain.coop for installation information.
Here is an overview of what we'll be doing Oct. 12-23 to relaunch the RChain test net. More details are below and will be added as we near the time for the next genesis ceremony.
...
- Shut down your validating node(s) running on the RChain test net
- Remove the RNode software and wipe your relevant data directories.
- Install the RNode v0.7 software. Please see https://developer.rchain.coop for installation information.
- Note - There may be additional preparation steps added here. Kelly will post announcements to the #testnet_validators channel in discord when this page updates. You may also opt to "watch" this page to receive updates when content changes.

23 Genesis ceremony protocol
When?
This work will begin as part of the community node testing session scheduled for Oct. 23 at 14:00 UTC. If you do not plan to attend the session, you can still participate as a genesis validator. We will set the timer to 24 hours to allow as many of you as can to validate the genesis block. If you will not be at the test session, look for a notice in the #testnet-validators discord channel for a notice for when this page is updated with the bootstrap address so you can start the validation process.
