Additionally, follow the official SPO announcements and upgrade on mainnet when they say it’s safe to do so:

> [@SPO Announcements](https://forum.cardano.org/t/spo-announcements/70827):
>
> There is an IOHK telegram channel about SPO announcements. Posting this for those who do not know about it: Posting as many of us upgraded to 1.29.0 while it seems it was never officially approved for mainnet.

Also subscribe to the SPO newsletter if you haven’t already done so:
