On June, 4th the mina Blockchain has undergone its biggest upgrade ao far.
This impacted the payout timeline for several reasons.
The first one is that we were asked by the Mina foundation to delay the payouts for epoch 78 until the Hardfork happened.

Epoch 78 ended around 4AM on June, 4th a few hours before the upgrade process begun.
Right after the Epoch 78 ended, the epoch 79 started on the old chain.
This epoch 79 lasted only a few slots/blocks until we reached the transaction stop slot at June 4th, 9AM UTC that started the upgrade process.

We are now on the new chain.
This new chain started again from Epoch 0 !! This is a bit like a reborn of the Mina Blockchain !!

Time for everyone to ugrade and ensure everything is ok was the main reason to delay the payouts.
I was also asked personnaly by the Mina Foundation to delay my payouts a bit in order to perform some validation tests.

At this time (June 07th), I am still waiting the Go from the mina fundation to trigger my payouts for both epoch 78 and 79.
Once I get the go, I will immediately trigger the payout for both epochs.

In conclusion, no need to worry about the payouts !! They are coming !!

In order for you to know what you can expect for these two epochs, you'll find the details of the due payouts below for each 78, 79 epoch.

On June, 4th the mina Blockchain will undergo its biggest upgrade ao far.

This update will bring the ZK programmability layer to the blockchain and ending the supercharged rewards.

In the same time several potential impacts should be expected.

D-Day Timeline

The progress of the upgrade and the timeline are documented here:

https://minaprotocol.com/blog/minas-berkeley-upgrade-what-to-expect

and here

https://minaprotocol.com/mainnet-upgrade-status

The Block producer timeline

Every block producer will have to update their nodes in order to ensure the resume of the upgraded Blockchain.

Here is a simplified overview of the tasks that every block producer will have to achieve on June, 4th.

Before June, 4th

The only action required by block producer is to update their nodes to version 2.0.0. (All my nodes are upgraded already obviously !)

On June, 4th

  • STEP 1

No specific action is required until the stop network slot is reached (14:00 UTC). At least one node must still be active and connected to the network until the stop slot is reached (ideally, all nodes of an operator can remain online). The calculation of uptime will be taken into account until the stop slot is reached (14:00 UTC).

  • STEP 2

Until the upgrade package is released (20:00 UTC): No action required.

  • STEP 3

Once the upgrade package is available: All operators update and restart their nodes (20:00 UTC - 00:00 UTC). Uptime calculation will resume at 00:01 UTC with a tolerance until 01:01 UTC.

note

During this period, no block will be produced.

  • STEP 4

From 00:00 UTC, the blockchain will restart on Berkeley fully operational: block production, snarks production, uptime, ...

What's next ?

After the Hard Fork (if all goes well):

  • The end of supercharged blocks will result in a decrease in profitability but will also level the playing field for all serious validators. It will also reduce the number of new tokens created, which will limit the inflationary nature of the token (and that's a good thing).

  • As a delegator, it will be important to ensure that your validator is up-to-date with their nodes from now on (version 2.0.0) until the update is triggered and their validation nodes are updated, otherwise, they will operate a zombie chain that will no longer produce valid rewards (for you). I encourage everyone to contact their validator to ensure they are up-to-date and that everything is in order for the update on 06/04.

Finally, there will certainly be impacts on tools, explorers, and websites concerning Mina. Some blockchain explorers may experience disruptions or become non-functional or display inconsistent information. Other services will be completely stopped (e.g., Mina Explorer's GraphQL APIs), which may also cause interruptions to some services that use them (my site, for example, uses the Mina Explorer GraphQL API, which I will have to replace eventually to display produced blocks, delegations, and payouts).

In summary, be patient, do not hesitate to contact your validator if you have any questions or problems, and do not panic if the rewards for the epoch post-hard fork take a little time to arrive 馃槈

This update is going to be epic. It is important to realize the amount of work and investment that goes into not only updating but also synchronizing all the actors, which are ultimately the key to the success of updating a fully decentralized application.

Epoch 78 payouts may be a little late this Time.

As you surely know already, the Mina Hard-Fork (dedicated blog post to come) will occur on June, 4th in only 4 days !!

Epoch 78 ends the same day (around 3AM) few hours before the network stops for 15 hours (starting at 9AM until 12AM on June, 5th).

For this reason, payouts may be a little bit delayed this epoch.

Until now 7 blocks have been won (on 11 assigned block production slots). That's better than last epoch 馃槈

As a reminder, you can find all payouts in realtime on this page :

Epoch 75 payouts have been sent on April, 21th. Only 5 slots were assigned this epoch but hopefully all of the 5 blocks have been successfully included into the canonical chain.

As an active participant in the Mina Protocol community, I take great pride in operating a validation node.
My involvement extends beyond just maintaining the node; I am an enthusiastic member of the community Discord, always eager to offer my assistance to anyone in need.
By sharing my knowledge and providing support, I strive to contribute to the growth and success of the Mina Protocol ecosystem.

What is Mina Protocol?

Mina Protocol is a revolutionary blockchain platform designed to offer scalability and security through its unique succinct blockchain technology.
Unlike traditional blockchains, which grow in size as more transactions are added, Mina maintains a constant size of only a few kilobytes, thanks to its innovative use of zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge).
This ensures that Mina remains lightweight and accessible, making it possible for anyone to operate a full node without requiring extensive computational resources.

ZK Programmability and o1js SDK

One of Mina Protocol's standout features is its zero-knowledge (ZK) programmability.
This allows developers to create and deploy smart contracts that preserve privacy and security while remaining efficient and scalable.
The o1js SDK (Software Development Kit) is a powerful tool that enables developers to easily build ZK-powered applications on Mina.
With this SDK, creating secure, private, and performant decentralized applications becomes straightforward, empowering developers to innovate without the typical limitations of traditional blockchain platforms.

About This Website

This website is a comprehensive resource for everything related to Mina Protocol. Here, you'll find:

General Information:
An overview of Mina Protocol, its unique features, and the benefits it offers.

Technical Details:
In-depth guides and documentation for individuals interested in running their own Mina validation node, covering everything from setup to maintenance.

Blog:
Regular updates on the latest news about Mina Protocol, as well as insights and progress reports about my validation node.
Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer to blockchain technology, this site aims to provide valuable information to help you navigate the Mina Protocol ecosystem.

Delegation Terms

I offer a highly competitive delegation service with a fee of just 1%, one of the lowest rates available.

By delegating to my node, you can maximize your rewards while supporting a dedicated and community-focused validator.
My commitment to maintaining high uptime and providing ongoing support ensures that your delegation is in good hands.
