Upcoming Astar zkEVM Upgrade & Maintenance

Hello Builders

As part of our ongoing commitment to security and performance excellence, we are issuing an immediate call to action for all projects utilizing Astar zkEVM mainnet permission-less RPC nodes!

It is critical that you update your nodes to the latest version at the earliest opportunity. This update is necessary to ensure optimal functionality, security, and compatibility with upcoming enhancements.

Update Details for Astar zkEVM mainnet:
Please update your Node and Prover/Executor versions to the following:

Action Required:

  1. Stop all nodes
  2. Delete all data of the state_db (all content of /var/lib/zkevm/statedb if you installed following the documentation)
  3. Download and apply the latest versions of the zk node and prover (=executor) as specified above.
  4. Restart the nodes
  5. For those utilizing indexers/subgraphs or maintaining local Astar zkEVM on-chain databases, we recommend re-synchronization via Startale/Gelato RPC from Transaction batch #17883 to ensure accurate data representation and prevent user-facing errors.

We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your cooperation in keeping our network secure and efficient!

Let us know if you have any further questions!
