Blockdaemon will update all Canton Devnet nodes to Splice v0.8.1 on 09/16/2026 at 14:00 UTC. We are updating our nodes due to a release from the Canton foundation. This update applies to all Canton Devnet nodes; there will be planned downtime of up to 15 minutes per node.

Additional note: As part of this update, we will also update DA Utilities on the nodes to version 0.14.4.

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.
