Aztec V6 upgrade requires a fresh rollup and new operator setup

  • —V6 starts from genesis; the V5 database cannot seed the new rollup
  • —Earliest canonical switch is October 26 at 08:00 UTC, pending governance
  • —Fast Inbox cuts Ethereum message latency from 24–108 seconds to 12–30 seconds
  • —Contracts must be recompiled as class identifiers and addresses change
Why it matters: Every Aztec operator and developer must migrate: without a new rollup and recompiled contracts the network will not run.
