Scheduled

Blockdaemon will update all Westend, Kusama and Polkadot nodes to v1.17.2 as well as Sidecar API to v20.1.0 on 03/05/25. We are updating our nodes due to a release from the Parity foundation. This update applies to all Blockdaemon Westend, Kusama and Polkadot nodes. There will be planned downtime of up to 5 minutes per node.

Please be aware of the breaking change in the staking-info endpoint that Sidecar API v20.0.0 introduces;

fix: claimed in staking info endpoint (#1445) (e11955a)
- The field claimed in the endpoint's response has changed structure and now we have a separate status for each era returned.
- The status values are different for validator and nominator account.
- The logic that calculates the era status was completely refactored.

Please refer to this document for more details;

We have tested the release and do not anticipate any unexpected downtime other than mentioned above as a result of the update. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
