According to PANews, the lightweight blockchain protocol Mina Protocol stated on the X platform that the Mina Protocol network will be upgraded to Berkeley from 09:00 UTC to midnight on June 4 (i.e. starting from 17:00 Beijing time on June 4), during which the network will be down. Users who do not run nodes do not need to perform any operations during the 15-hour upgrade process. From 17:00 Beijing time on June 4 until the upgrade process is completed, no transactions will be included in the blockchain. After the upgrade, when the network recovers, users can resend transactions.

Previous news showed that the Berkeley upgrade will bring performance enhancements, leveraging Mina’s design without affecting scalability or decentralization. The Berkeley upgrade also includes performance improvements such as slot time reduction and validator optimization.
