2021-09-01 08:01:09 Important announcement on Columbus-5 upgrade!!

The Columbus-5 mainnet deployment will be delayed ~3 weeks until a new block height of 4,724,000, roughly equivalent to the following times:

9/29 at clock 20:30 PST
9/30 at 03:30 UTC
9/30 at 12:30 KST


Why the delay

A new version of Mantle that is highly scalable and capable of withstanding significantly more traffic by scaling Wasm queries will accompany Col-5

Provide more breathing room for third-party projects building on Terra with dependencies on existing apps like Mirror, Anchor, TerraSwap, and Shuttle migrating to Col-5.

Provide more thorough and expansive documentation for the community and third-party developers on the specifics of the Col-5 upgrade and how to use it properly.

In a nutshell
Columbus-5 mainnet upgrade is massive. Terra is not the same as it was in January of this year. TVL has swelled to $7.3 billion, and tens of thousands of new stakeholders, community members, and builders have entered the ecosystem.

No need to fret about the delay, as the goal is to implement some extra precautionary measures for the rollout of Terra’s most significant mainnet upgrade yet to ensure the smoothest launch possible.

The original timeline produced a hurried window for some projects to properly prep for Col-5.

Giving projects more time to acquaint themselves with the Col-5 testing environment and migration plans for major apps ensures a smoother runway for projects launching post-Col-5.

2021-08-31 07:02:51 Hey Lunatics,

A quick note: We just pushed an update on Terra Station Desktop.

Going forward, users will have to add all the tokens (excluding LUNA and Terra stablecoins) in the Station Wallet using the dropdown menu or using custom contracts.

This is being done to make the process of token addition open and available for everyone.

In case you want to use Station Swap for any token, you need to first add the token in the wallet and it should then be visible on the Station Swap.

Also note:
 There are no CW20 token balances on initial state

 User can add custom CW20 token by address, if they want to fetch balance

Please note that these updates are still being pushed on Station extension and Station mobile app, so please don’t worry in case you don’t see some tokens. These updates should be live on Extension and Mobile app in next few days. Open / Comment

2021-08-24 07:46:41 We have been hard at work updating our frontend interfaces, rigorously testing smart contract migrations, and making sure everything is perfectly set and ready for takeoff for Columbus-5!!

We are recommending a temporary increase in gas prices to deter potential spam attacks that may cause problems during the crucial Col-5 upgrade!!

The new gas prices are about 2.5x for stablecoins, and 1.2x for LUNA.

Validators -- Please update your gas prices for your validator node settings using the announced guidelines posted to the Validator Discord channel!

Users — Understandably, this will create a slight inconvenience for users who are used to making frequent, small transactions. Rest assured, we will provide a new set of gas prices to return the fees to normal once the network upgrade is complete.

You can check the recommended gas prices using FCD here: https://fcd.terra.dev/v1/txs/gas_prices
