The Async Backing upgrade for Shiden Network is now complete! Here’s what you need to know:

Developers take note ⤵️

🔹 Block time has shifted from 12s to 6s—adjust your logic for the 6-second block time intervals.

🔹 Shiden node operators: Make sure you're using at least the v5.43.0 client. However, for the best compatibility, we recommend upgrading to the latest version, v5.44.0.

🔹 Vesting and dApp staking have adjusted automatically. No action is needed on your part.

Thanks for staying up to speed, and enjoy the upgraded network!
