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Why it matters: The upgrade affects Ronin developers and infrastructure: outdated nodes will stop following the chain once the new rules activate.
