Download
The new version of the node program can be downloaded in github.com/Conflux-Chain/conflux-rust/releases .
I am a node operator/miner, what do I need to do?
If you have started the node, you need to suspend the operation of the node first, and then replace the executable file named “conflux” in the run directory of the original node program with the Conflux executable file of the Conflux v1.1.6 node program. It can be restarted later.
If you start a new node, you can download the latest version of Conflux v1.1.6 and run it.
What will happen if I do not upgrade the nodes or refuse to upgrade?
It is strongly recommended to upgrade your node. Although this upgrade does not change the consensus layer, if you continue to use the previous version of the program, there may be insufficient CPU performance of the node under high TPS.
What impact will it have on ordinary users?
During the upgrade process of nodes running on the chain, some services may be affected and delayed. After the node upgrade is completed, it will return to normal.
