GateChain Mainnet Upgrade v1.1.7 (2025-08-11)​

Overview​

  1. GateChain consensus version will be upgraded to v1.1.7. All nodes participating in the consensus need to upgrade their node binary.

  2. Scheduled Upgrade Date: 2025-08-18

  3. For detailed information, please refer to the GateChain Documentation

Upgrade Mechanism​

The GateChain consensus upgrade process works as follows:

  • When a consensus node uses the new binary version for block assembly, it triggers a network-wide upgrade vote
  • Once the vote count exceeds the threshold after a round of block creation, the new protocol consensus takes effect network-wide
  • At this point, any consensus nodes that haven't upgraded to the latest version will be unable to participate in consensus

Changelog​

  1. GateChain consensus version upgrade
    • Update blockchain version number to V17

2.Adds transaction gas fee checkpoints：

  • STD transaction gas fee must be greater than basefee

  • Adds GasRemaining to GasMeter for querying remaining gas

    3.For EVM transactions：

  • Set initial nounce of the EVM account to zero

  • Apply a flat 21000 gas for EVM transfer by default

    4.For block production mechanism：

  • Introduces gasFeeThreshold mechanism to avoid staking rewards cheating using insignificant staking transactions

    5.RPC interface improvements：

  • Introduces LRU cache mechanism at the API layer to provide improved access efficiency

  • Adds new RPC interfaces

    6.Other fixes and improvements：

  • Fixes indefinite node waiting issue caused by gas exhaustion

  • Fixes concurrent map read panic

  • Fixes precision issues for values returned by RPC interfaces
