LikeCoin chain has been successfully upgraded to LaiChiKok version on May 4th, let's take a look at the process behind the scenes - Oursky, validators and Liker Land team work together.

🔎Focus story: LikeCoin chain LaiChiKok upgrade

LikeCoin chain has been successfully upgraded to LaiChiKok version on May 4th. After the upgrade, the LikeCoin wallet address has been changed to a new address prefix of "like" and is backward compatible with the old "cosmos" prefix. New features have been added including upgrading Cosmos-SDK to 0.44.8 and ibc-go 2.1.0. Let's take a look at the process behind the scenes - Oursky, validators, and the Liker Land team.

Upgrade preparation

Since the work policy was set at the beginning of the year, the Liker Land team began to study the feasibility of wallet address prefix compatibility, and tested related application services, including wallets, exchanges, and Dapps upgrade compatibility and corresponding development work.

Origin of LaiChiKok

The upgrade software was prepared by Oursky , and since Motion 33 was passed by the community agreeing to hire Oursky at the end of January, they have worked side by side with #tech-subdao to help accelerate the technological development of LikeCoin chain. Oursky is also one of the LikeCoin validators .

The location of Oursky's Hong Kong office, LaiChiKok, became the codename for the upgrade. They have their own cat mascots: peanut, sesame, coffee, milk tea, and have a cat's Facebook page . CEO Sesame has moved to the Taipei office earlier to be responsible for "governing" local employees. The smooth upgrade this time is due to the leadership of a few more cats.

Cosmovisor auto-upgrades

Last year, LikeCon FoTan upgraded verifiers from all over the world to gather together to input commands that night, which is really inconvenient for verifiers in different time zones. In this upgrade, the Cosmovisor automatic upgrade tool is used, and the validator can complete the upgrade settings in advance, which not only greatly saves time but also improves flexibility.

The Liker Land team is responsible for coordinating the community during the upgrade process, especially validators participating in the upgrade. Although the validator can raise the bed and soft pillow to let the system automatically complete the work after completing the upgrade settings, there are still many validators who will witness the upgrade process and help partners in need together at 10:00pm GMT+8 on May 4th. , I really appreciate their tireless efforts to protect LikeCoin. LikeCoin chain LaiChiKok was officially upgraded successfully at 23:39pm GMT+8 after each node restarted and reached 67% of the online voting rights!

After the upgrade, Oursky will continue to program NFT modules and is developing a new version of dao.like.co. For more details, please refer to the May report of #tech-subdao .

Liker Notes

After the upgrade is complete, Liker Land app users will be automatically converted to the new "like" prefix wallet address, as for Keplr users, they need to set manually to use the new format. For details, please refer to FAQs and tutorials . The Liker Land team is following up on the progress of the exchange, Desmos Profile, depub.SPACE and various blockchain browsers to convert prefixes. If users have any questions, please report an error in the LikeCoin Discord #bug-report channel, or click " help" query.

Round 11 has been delegated to 12 validators.
Creation Fund Committee: Although the commissions appreciated by Citizen Nodes continue to rise, they still have not reached the same level as previously planned, and the number of matching funds in May will remain unchanged.
