v0.3.0

Priority: Medium

The purpose of this upgrade is to adjust the strategy of the gas price oracle, and change the the minimal priority fee to 0.005 gwei.

• For wallets, Dapps, and other service providers, always use eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas to get the pritority fee.
• For RPC node and Validator maintainers, this upgrade introduces breaking changes to the database. Once upgraded, downgrading to a lower version is not possible. You may encounter higher cpu and disk I/O during the database migration.

This upgrade applies only to GOAT Geth, with version to v0.3.0 for mainnet and v0.1.7 for testnet. Download the docker compose file from Gist (opens in a new tab).

Upgrade Steps:

1. Upgrade all the RPC nodes.
2. Wait for confirmation from the GOAT Team.
3. Upgrade all the validators.
