The AtomOne v2 release is a major release that will initially target the testnet. The on-chain voting period typically lasts 3 days.

On governance vote approval, validators will be required to update the AtomOne chain binary at the halt-height specified in the on-chain proposal

Release Binary & Upgrade Resources

IMPORTANT: Note that AtomOne v2.0.0-rc1 binary MUST be used.

The release can be found here.

The upgrade guide can be found here.

Proposed Release Contents

This release introduces the following major new feature:

• Add the x/photon module

Although this feature will make the photon token the sole fee token, the v2 upgrade will implement this change gradually. Rather than immediately rejecting transactions using atone tokens for fees, we'll provide a transition period for users to switch to photon. During this time, both photon and atone will be accepted as fee tokens. A subsequent parameter change proposal will then establish photon as the exclusive fee token.

The other changes can be found in the changelog here.

Testing

The v2 release has gone through rigorous testing, including e2e tests and integration tests.

Potential risk factors

Although very extensive testing and simulation will have taken place there always exists a risk that the AtomOne experience problems due to potential bugs or errors from the new features. In the case of serious problems, validators should stop operating the network immediately. Coordination with validators will happen in the #testnet-private channel of the AtomOne Community Discord to create and execute a contingency plan. Likely this will be an emergency release with fixes or the recommendation to consider the upgrade aborted and revert back to the previous release of AtomOne (v1.1.2)
