🚨 Mandatory Update: Lilypad v2.9.0 Required by Tomorrow!

gm Resource Providers! 🐸

Reminder that the previous Lilypad version (2.8.0) will be deprecated tomorrow. RPs must update to v2.9.0 - Einstein to remain active in the network!

Upon every release, RPs will have 2 weeks to update to the latest Lilypad version, mentioned in the v2.9.0 release - https://discord.com/channels/1212897693450641498/1256179769356189707. Please note: The next Lilypad release will be tomorrow and RPs will have a 2 week grace period to update and then v2.9.0 will be deprecated.

Resource providers that are running older versions will no longer remain active on the network, have PoWs tracked or earn rewards. Make sure your node is updated to v2.9.0 before tomorrow to avoid interruptions!
