v3.4.2

Low Priority Release

This release consists of cleanups and minor improvements to the staking pallet, versioning, as well as testing and CI that didn't make it in time for v3.4.1 due to that release's urgent nature.

Thank you for your time and votes!

What we need you to do

No action needed from anyone ( besides voting on the runtime upgrade ).
This release affects the on-chain runtime only.

What's Changed

• Run live benchmarks as test in CI by @ghzlatarev in #833
• Followups to Staking by @Garandor in #834
• align block number type in tests by @zqhxuyuan in #835
• Improve mock xcm by @ghzlatarev in #840
• Release v3.4.2 by @Garandor in #841

New Contributors

• @zqhxuyuan made their first contribution in #835

v3.4.1

⚠️ High Priority Hotfix Release ⚠️

This addresses two issues reported with the previous v3.4.0 release, specifically:

1. Round-Robin block producer assignment is now active, block producers no longer need to compete with others in a hardware race to get their block included, evening out staking rewards distribution.
2. Sending KMA from Moonriver via XCM ( using Moonriver apps ) is fixed and will be re-enabled by the Moonriver team shortly following the runtime upgrade. A separate announcement will follow.

What we need you to do

No action needed from anyone ( besides voting on the runtime upgrade ).
This release is a hotfix to the on-chain runtime only.

What's Changed

• Disable v3.40 migration code by @Garandor in #819
• Hardcode weight for instructions with MultiAssetFilter params by @ghzlatarev in #822
• Fix Block Producer Selection by @Garandor in #818
• Release v3.4.1 by @Garandor in #826

Full Changelog: v3.4.0...v3.4.1

v3.4.0

⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY RELEASE ⚠️

We're delighted to present to the community a permissionless Delegated Proof-of-Stake enabled Calamari Network.

The new tokenomics including transaction fee burn and staking rewards described in the docs become active when this runtime upgrade goes live on chain.

Also, this upgrade concludes our collator program as from now on, anyone who wants to run a collator will permissionlessly be able to do so.
We will release staking guides for collators and delegators in the docs before the upgrade goes live.

What to expect

Users: No action needed, but you will be able to delegate your KMA to and share in other’s collator rewards
Full Node Runners: No action needed
Collator Runners: ⚠️ Once this upgrade is live, your node will no longer produce blocks. See below for info

What we need you to do

If you are running an active collator node as part of the collator program before v3.4.0:

• You do not need to upgrade your manta executable though there is no harm in doing so anytime you wish
• Calamari network will use pallet_parachain_staking for collator selection from this upgrade on. Your nodes are currently registered with the old manta_collator_selection pallet which will become inactive once the upgrade vote passes.
• Your current slot with manta_collator_selection entitles you (for a limited time) as a member of our collator program to a collator slot with a reduced bond of 400_000 KMA as a thank-you for your early support of the network
• You need to manually onboard your collator to the new system by calling the joinCandidates extrinsic from polkadot.js on your collator’s account after v3.4.0 is live on-chain. It will take part in staking rewards after you have done so.
  ⚠️ Do NOT leave the old candidate set manually as this will lead to you forfeiting your entitlement and resulting in you having to bond 4M KMA if you wish to rejoin. Just run the below extrinsic and your currently reserved 400_000 KMA for the collator will be migrated over without requiring additional funds ( besides gas fees ).
  The bond is 400_000_000_000_000_000 KMA and 64 is just a hint for transaction weight that must be larger than the current number of registered collators ( or the transaction will fail )
  The bond is 400_000_000_000_000_000 KMA ( 400k plus 12 decimals ) and the 64 is just a hint for transaction weight that must be larger than the current number of registered collators ( or the transaction will fail )
  
• You will find more detailed instructions in the staking guide in the docs soon

Full Changelog: v3.3.0...v3.4.0

v3.3.0

⚠️High priority release with a breaking client change that will upgrade the network's consensus mechanism⚠️

The upgrade sequence for this release is:

• Users: No action needed
• Full Node Runners: Upgrade manta binary at your earliest convenience
  ⚠️If your node is not on the v3.3.0 binary by the time the runtime upgrade is enacted, it will fall out of sync with the network
• Collator Runners: Upgrade manta binary after the on-chain runtime upgrade to v3.3.0 is enacted
  ⚠️If you upgrade the binary before the runtime is live, it will not be able to produce blocks. This will cost you missed rewards, slow down the chain and delay the runtime upgrade)
  ⚠️ You have one week to upgrade after the v330 runtime is live on-chain. After one week, we will submit a governance motion to remove every collator that has not upgraded by then. If your node gets removed because of this, you will have to go through the collator onboarding process again ⚠️

Troubleshooting

I upgraded the binary and my node is stuck :(

1. Verify that Calamari Network has had its runtime upgraded to v3.3.0 (top left corner)
2. Verify that you're running the correct binary. manta --version should output manta 3.3.0-6718bf10797

The v3.3.0 runtime is live, I have just upgraded my node's binary but it is still stuck on the runtime upgrade block

It is possible your node got banned from networking by the upgraded peers, please

1. stop your node
2. delete your base-path/chains/chain/network folder (only the network folder, not db or keystore)
   NOTE: If you installed from our Debian package, base-path is /var/lib/substrate
3. restart your node

The v3.3.0 runtime is live, my node stays stuck after upgrading the binary and the log says

Idle (X peers), best: #<RUNTIME_UPGRADE_BLOCK+1> (0xca66…99bb), finalized #<RUNTIME_UPGRADE_BLOCK> (0xa572…70d8)

1. Stop your node
2. Run manta revert --chain=calamari -- 1
3. Restart your node

If it still does not resume syncing, please let us know in the #collator-maintainer channel on Discord!
