maticnetwork/heimdall - v1.6.0-beta

Published: Jun 19, 2025
TESTNET Deadline: Jun 24, 2025

Release Summary

An important new Heimdall release is now available, specifically for the Amoy network. This version is crucial preparation for the upcoming Heimdall v1 to v2 migration.

Please note that this release is intended solely for Amoy and should only be installed on Amoy nodes. The `-beta` suffix in the version clearly indicates it will not be deployed on mainnet.

The migration is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th, 2025, between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM UTC. The Amoy chain will halt at block height 8788500 to begin the process.

Key changes in this release include critical updates like setting the specific 'apocalypse' or halt height for Amoy (8788500), preventing checkpoint submissions just before this height, and updates related to the Amoy genesis file, all necessary for the migration.
