TestNet and MainNet Update: 3.5.1

MainNet and TestNet will be updated to 3.5.1 Wed Mar 23, 2022 10:30AM EDT (2:30PM UTC).

IMPORTANT
This release requires a protocol upgrade.
This release contains a consensus protocol upgrade, which implements the following spec: GitHub - algorandfoundation/specs at d5ac876d7ede07367dbaa26e149aa42589aac1f7

Important Notes

  • This release contains a database migration. As a result, expect node upgrades to take longer than usual - 15 minutes for participating nodes and 1 hr for archival nodes. The node software and hardware profile will ultimately determine the length of the upgrade.
  • Catchpoint files will be temporarily unavailable. New catchpoint files will not be generated until the protocol upgrade is completed.
  • Unlimited Assets and Applications will only be available after the protocol upgrade is complete.
  • Some API Endpoints change. Please see below for further details.

Highlights

Unlimited Assets & Applications
Accounts can now create and opt into an unlimited number of assets and applications. The REST API endpoints have changed to make it easier to work with more data:
