Ronin Schedules Karst Upgrade for October 7, Node Updates Required

  • —Karst upgrade is scheduled for October 7 at 16:00:01 UTC
  • —Operators must update op-node and migrate to op-reth v2.2.3
  • —A ~16.8M gas cap per transaction is introduced; ETH deposits are exempt
  • —Saigon has been running Karst since September 2; no downtime expected
Why it matters: The upgrade affects Ronin developers and infrastructure: outdated nodes will stop following the chain once the new rules activate.
