Hey everyone  
I’m upgrading to 1.29.0 right now. Posted some details on how to do it but the spam filter seemed to dislike I added links. Will re-post shortly 🙂

Alright, everything working as expected.

To upgrade to 1.29.0 you can follow these steps:

1. Compile or download 1.29.0
2. Add the following two lines to `mainnet-config.json`:

```json
      "AlonzoGenesisFile": "mainnet-alonzo-genesis.json",
      "AlonzoGenesisHash": "7e94a15f55d1e82d10f09203fa1d40f8eede58fd8066542cf6566008068ed874",

```

1. Create `mainnet-alonzo-genesis.json` with the content here [https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7370192/download/1/mainnet-alonzo-genesis.json](https://hydra.iohk.io/build/7370192/download/1/mainnet-alonzo-genesis.json). Ensure there is no newline at the end of the file. The file MUST end with a `}` in the last line so the hash matches.
2. Stop the currently running `cardano-node`
3. Replace the current binaries with the 1.29.0 ones
4. Start `cardano-node` once again
5. Monitor to ensure everything is up and running without issues.

Cheers!

I’m guessing this upgrade must be done by Sep 12?

Are there any instructions for testnet? I don’t want to test this on production. Where can we get genesis file for testnet and the hash?

Thanks for the warm welcome @Napoles!  
Yeah I figured it was probably due to being a new user.  
I’ll stop by the Stake Pool Introduction section to say hi.

This 1.29.0 release is an important update to the node that provides the functionality that is needed following the Alonzo hard fork.
