Just as I was writing this, the Boundless official block height shows that there are only 23 hours and 42 minutes left until the v2.0 hard fork. As an old miner who has experienced three hard fork upgrades, I have never seen such a thrilling scene—over 45% of the validator nodes worldwide are still in urgent adaptation, and the staking income of 100 million ZKC is hanging in the balance.
Last night I just completed the upgrade test of the node cluster in Seoul, the whole process reminded me of that v1.0 patch disaster in 2023 that caused a 20% drop in TVL. But this time is different, the v2.0 "Computing Power Reflow Engine" will completely change the game rules. My test data this morning shows that the income of the upgraded nodes has increased by 2.8 times, and the newly added "DDoS Protection Shield" successfully resisted all simulated attacks.
The current situation makes me restless: the DefiLlama dashboard shows Boundless's TVL has reached $1.4 billion, with a 30-day growth of 33%. More critically, its ZK proof service supports 90% of Solana Rollup and 78% of Arbitrum AVS. This ecological dependency means that any disruption in computing power will trigger a chain reaction.
I just checked my node status, and one of the three main wallets has not completed adaptation. This forced me to take immediate action: push the update through upgrade.boundless.network and use dedicated RPC nodes to avoid congestion on public channels. I chose to operate at 2 AM because the Gas fee can be reduced by 32% at that time, a lesson learned from last year's Arbitrum Nova upgrade.
What concerns me most now is that institutions like Pantera Capital have quietly acquired 19 million ZKC in the past 6 days. They clearly know what the "ZK Inspiration Module" to be launched after the v2.0 upgrade means—nodes can customize proof tasks, which will fundamentally change the valuation logic of the computing power market.
My urgent suggestion is: immediately check your node status and complete the staking configuration at staking.boundless.network. Remember, only nodes that complete adaptation before the upgrade can receive a 20% computing power bonus. I just adjusted the staking amount of the main wallet to 600 ZKC, a figure calculated precisely to achieve the best balance between risk and reward.
Looking back at the upgrade in early 2024, over 8000 nodes missed the opportunity due to last-minute network congestion. This time, I deployed an AWS Seoul node in advance as a backup channel, while setting the Gas fee cap at 0.000006 SOL. These preparations may seem overly cautious, but in this industry, it is often these details that determine success or failure.
There are less than 24 hours left until the countdown ends, and every decision is crucial. I suggest you take action immediately, as those who layout in advance when the blocks of the upgrade are confirmed will reap unimaginable rewards. Remember, in the world of cryptocurrency, risk and opportunity are always proportional, but only those who are well prepared can laugh last.
