Zilliqa Announcement

2021-07-14 09:51:42 Dear everyone,

Thank you for your patience while transactions processing is disabled on Zilliqa mainnet.

As part of the fix to resolve the large memory consumption on the mining nodes for DS Committee, we will be conducting a network upgrade to version tag v8.0.5 at block number 1283088. This upgrade is likely to take place around 14 July 6.45 AM UTC. For more information on this urgent upgrade, please refer to the release note at Zilliqa v8.0.5 release notes (https://github.com/Zilliqa/Zilliqa/releases/tag/v8.0.5)

Do note that during the upgrade period no transactions will be processed by the network and blockchain API may not be accessible.

Thank you for your continued support! Open / Comment

2021-07-14 02:55:53 Dear community members,

We have noticed memory management with regards to processing very large smart contracts. We are temporarily disabling transaction processing within the mainnet. Blocks will be produced with 0 transaction.

We will implement the fix and upgrade the mainnet in the next 24 hours to resolve the issue.

For the more technical folks, this issue is a result of memory fragmentation, which in turn unable to return memory to the kernel. If you are interested, here is a good blog article we found to explain the issue.

2021-07-02 09:44:01 Curious about what’s the optimal restaking period for you to maximise your returns on staked $ZIL?

Check out this article by our community member Kamran on our LearnBlockchain.org educational portal!

Here are some key takeaways from the article
- If you stake less than 3,662 $ZIL claiming more than once a year results in a loss (due to fees)

- Claiming in random intervals (i.e. 7 or 30days) vs optimised periods (i.e. daily) results in a huge difference w large amounts(16mil in the example)

- For around 1M $ZIL the optimum claim and restake cycle is at 7 days giving you the max returns

- Optimise your claiming schedules if your goal is to accumulate more $gZIL
This is just the condensed version of what the article states, to get a better understanding of how these calculations come about and the assumptions made, we suggest you read the article. The article is definitely insightful and will help you in deciding on when to compound for you to optimise your $ZIL and $gZIL gains!
