New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet
### Nine Realms Endpoints
There are still a significant number of clients leveraging 9R public endpoints. We will be placing temporary redirects in front of our endpoints starting tomorrow to point at alternate locations on Liquify and others. The redirects will help to smooth the transition, but they will only be in place for a few weeks and clients may not automatically handle redirects.
All clients are recommended to migrate ASAP to avoid disruption. More details in announcement: https://discord.com/channels/838986635756044328/1161364032306028635/1483521870346191003

**Nine Realms Transition Announcement**
After several years contributing to THORChain's development and operations, over the next six weeks, Nine Realms will be gradually stepping back from our active roles in the ecosystem. There is a thread on this topic, please follow here for more info/discussion.

New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet
## THORNODE ❗️MAINNET❗️UPDATE 3.16.1❗️VALIDATORS ONLY
https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/releases/v3.16.1
NETWORK: MAINNET
TYPE: Non-coordinated
URGENCY: ASAP
This is a Bifrost patch release containing a fix for EVM chain scanners preventing aggregator swap-ins.
```
make update
```
Then verify your node version is properly set to `3.16.1` and `make set-version` if the automatic version set did not apply. Once a quorum of the network has updated it is safe to resume EVM chain trading.

## THORNODE ❗️MAINNET❗️UPDATE 3.15.3 (Bifrost Only)❗️ENABLE SOLANA
https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/releases/v3.15.3
NETWORK: MAINNET
TYPE: Non-coordianted
URGENCY: 24h
This is a Bifrost-only patch release containing a final Solana fix and enabling the scanner by default. Please `make pull`, set the Bifrost environment variable `BIFROST_CHAINS_SOL_RPC_HOST` to your RPC provider, then `make install` to apply.
We will wait 24 hours from the time of this message. Then once a quorum of all vaults are scanning Solana at tip, we will unhalt churning and proceed to keygen Solana vaults.

## THORNODE ❗️MAINNET❗️UPDATE 3.15.2 (Bifrost Only)
https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/releases/v3.15.2
NETWORK: MAINNET
TYPE: Non-coordianted
URGENCY: ASAP
This is a Bifrost-only patch release containing a few fixes for races in the TRON client signing that are causing stuck outbounds. Please `make pull` and `make install` to apply. We are hopeful these fixes will clear the TRON outbound queue once adopted by a quorum of all vaults. Once all stuck outbounds have cleared, it should be safe to resume TRON trading.

New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet
### Solana Launch Preparation
Solana has been live on `stagenet` for 6 weeks without issue. The team plans to proceed with `mainnet` enabling on February 4 around midday US time. If there are no operational issues or fixes that take priority, the plan will be as follows:
1. Nodes should prepare a Solana RPC, whether self hosted (nothing is provided in `node-launcher` due to hardware requirements) or with a provider of choice.
2. Churning will be halted on Sunday February 1 to ensure the churn adding Solana to vaults occurs midweek.
3. Nodes will be instructed to enable Solana scanners approximately 24h before the intended churn on February 4.
Since the majority of nodes will find it cost prohibitive to run their own Solana nodes, the network will be leveraging external providers for the chain. In order to prevent a single provider from being able to eclipse attack or cause outage, nodes should distribute across a variety of providers. Please `make mimir` and set `SOL-RPC-PROVIDER` to one of the following values, indicating which provider you plan to use. If your provider already has a 20% share of nodes, please choose a different provider. If you are using a provider not in this list, please `make relay` it and we will add a corresponding voting key.
```
1 => Self Hosted
2 => Liquify (reach out to Andy or Isaac)
3 => QuickNode
4 => Alchemy
5 => Chainstack
6 => Ankr
7 => Blockdaemon
8 => Helius
```
It is a prerequisite for launch that 80% of nodes have designated an RPC provider via the mimir vote, and no single provider is above 20% dominance. If that condition is unmet by February 1, the timeline will be delayed.

## XRP Config
There is an update required to the XRP config to continue syncing blocks. If you have not already done so, please `make pull` and `make install` to apply. Once the XRP daemon is in ready state, it is likely you will need to force the scanner height forward past the pruned heights by setting `BIFROST_CHAINS_XRP_BLOCK_SCANNER_START_BLOCK_HEIGHT=101672000` (or a later block depending on when you apply) in your Bifrost environment. Once 80% of the network is back to tip it should be safe to resume XRP.

New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet
**BCH Trading Paused**
Nodes have paused BCH trading after observing an issue which caused BCH outbounds to P2SH to be sent to an incorrect outbound address. The BCH chain trading was paused out of an abundance of caution to protect any users who may be swapping to a Bitcoin Cash P2SH address. This will also be addressed in the 3.15 upgrade scheduled for next week.

## Daemon Updates
There are upcoming forks for Gaia (next Monday) and BSC (next Wednesday). Please `make pull` and `make install` to prepare for these upgrades. Note that there may be a couple hours of slight degradation on BSC performance due to reindexing when this upgrade is applied - it did not cause issues for 9R when we applied to our instances.

New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🛡interface-alerts
## Router V6
The new router version alleviates issues with out-of-gas outbounds to smart contract wallets, and paves the path for future work to batch outbounds and support direct token transfers to vaults. The new router is live on all chains in `stagenet` and all integrators that are able are requested to test their flows there and flag any concerns.
We plan to upgrade the routers at the first churn of the week Tuesday or later, every 2 weeks, in order of increasing TVL:
- BASE (~$100k): week of March 30
- AVAX (~$500k): week of April 13
- BSC (~$1m): week of April 27
- ETH (~$12m): week of May 11
The router upgrade runbook for a given chain is as follows:
1. Set `MimirUpgradeContract<chain>=1`
2. Set `Halt<chain>Trading=1` 1h in advance of churn
3. Set `StopSolvencyCheck<chain>=1` 10 minutes before churn
4. Wait for churn to complete
5. Set `EVMAllowanceCheck-<chain>=1` to unblock token outbounds
6. Set `StopSolvencyCheck<chain>=0` to re-enable solvency check
7. Wait 1h to ensure no observed issues
8. Set `Halt<chain>Trading=0`
### ‼️Loss of Funds‼️
All integrators must ensure they are using the vault and router from `/thorchain/inbound_addresses` or the `/thorchain/quote` endpoints. Do not hardcode the router or cache the router and vault address independently. Every vault maps to exactly one router, and if sent to the wrong router for a vault funds will be lost. If funds are sent to a new vault with the old router, funds are lost. If funds are sent to an old vault with the new router, the inactive vault refund will fail and funds are lost.
Please reach out to devs in thread with any questions.

**Vote ADR-23: Reserve Restructuring**
[ADR-23 Proposal Full Text](https://gitlab.com/boonew/thornode/-/blob/develop/docs/architecture/adr-023-rune-supply-restructure.md)
Summary of proposal:
1) Burn ~87% of the Reserve (~65m RUNE): https://runescan.io/address/thor1dheycdevq39qlkxs2a6wuuzyn4aqxhve4qxtxt
2) Reduce the Maximum Supply to 360M to protect the FDV supply reduction
Other Considerations:
- This change is a change in tokenomics, which usually requires broad community consensus and further outreach (eg Binance)

## THORNODE ❗️MAINNET❗️UPDATE 3.16.0
https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/releases/v3.16.0
NETWORK: MAINNET
TYPE: Non-coordinated
URGENCY: 24h
The upgrade proposal has passed. Please install to schedule the upgrade at the proposed height. Nodes will automatically update to the new image at the scheduled height, and the node version for active validators will be automatically set at that time. All non-active validators must run `make set-version` after the upgrade height to be eligible for the subsequent churn. Solana will be safe to resume after the upgrade.
```
make pull
make install
```
Please note that this build contains private security patches, but they are not consensus breaking so the tagged release on Gitlab is valid for consensus.

## THORNODE ❗️MAINNET❗️UPDATE 3.15.1 (Bifrost Only)
https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/releases/v3.15.1
NETWORK: MAINNET
TYPE: Non-coordianted
URGENCY: ASAP
This is a Bifrost-only patch release containing a fix for a bug preventing observations of outbounds in the same block of a cancelled stuck transaction. Please `make pull` and `make install` to apply.
There are also a number of dropped mempool outbounds that require a quorum of the culprit vault to perform manual steps to clear the outbounds and complete churn. This has been historically infrequent, but has occurred a few times in the past months - the team is still discussing the safest path to handle this automatically in a future release.

## Stuck BTC Outbounds
There are 2 BTC outbounds currently stuck due to a race fixed by https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/merge_requests/4392. There will likely be a Bifrost patch release later this week to prevent this moving forward, but rectifying the current stuck outbounds (and unblocking the next churn) will require a quorum of nodes in the culprit vault to clear their signer cache and allow the outbounds to be re-attempted.
