According to PANews, Fetch.ai's mainnet is set to undergo a planned upgrade on April 1, 2025, at 21:00 UTC+8, contingent upon the approval of governance proposal #35. This maintenance-focused release prioritizes security and operational efficiency, aiming to minimize disruption for network participants. The upgrade integrates the existing governance module of the cosmos-sdk, allowing only users who have delegated FET on the Fetch.ai mainnet to vote. Holders on Ethereum, BSC, or Cardano will not be affected.

The network will automatically halt at block height 21,267,067, with an expected downtime of one hour. Validators are required to follow the provided upgrade instructions meticulously to ensure a smooth process. Prompt participation from all active validators will significantly aid in the swift restoration of services. Post-upgrade, the network will resume normal operations without changes to the API or chain state.
