# kava-8 Upgrade Instructions
## Software Version and Key Dates
- We will be upgrading from chain-id "kava-7" to chain-id "kava-8".
- The version of Kava for kava-8 is [TODO: version]
- The kava-7 chain will be shutdown with a `SoftwareUpgradeProposal` that activates at approximately 13:00 UTC on August, 30 2021.
- kava-8 genesis time is set to August 30th, 2021 at 15:00 UTC
- The version of cosmos-sdk for kava-8 is v0.39.3
- The version of tendermint for kava-8 v0.33.9
- The minimum version of golang for kava-8 is 1.13+, 1.15+ has been tested and is recommended.
### Risks
As a validator, performing the upgrade procedure on your consensus nodes carries a heightened risk of double-signing and being slashed. The most important piece of this procedure is verifying your software version and genesis file hash before starting your validator and signing.
The riskiest thing a validator can do is discover that they made a mistake and repeat the upgrade procedure again during the network startup. If you discover a mistake in the process, the best thing to do is wait for the network to start before correcting it. If the network is halted and you have started with a different genesis file than the expected one, seek advice from a Kava developer before resetting your validator.
### Recovery
Prior to exporting kava-7 state, validators are encouraged to take a full data snapshot at the export height before proceeding. Snap-shotting depends heavily on infrastructure, but generally this can be done by backing up the .kvd and .kvcli directories.
It is critically important to back-up the .kvd/data/priv_validator_state.json file after stopping your kvd process. This file is updated every block as your validator participates in consensus rounds. It is a critical file needed to prevent double-signing, in case the upgrade fails and the previous chain needs to be restarted.
In the event that the upgrade does not succeed, validators and operators must downgrade back to v0.14.2 of the Kava software and restore to their latest snapshot before restarting their nodes.
## Upgrade Procedure
### Before the upgrade
Kava Labs will submit a `SoftwareUpgradeProposal` that specifies the exact block _height_ at which the chain should shut down. This height will correspond to approximately 13:00 UTG on August 30th. Once the proposal passes, the chain will shutdown automatically at the specified height and does not require manual intervention by validators.
### On the day of the upgrade
**The kava chain is expected to halt at 13:00 UTC, and restart with new software at 15:00 UTC August 30th. Do not stop your node and begin the upgrade before 13:00UTC on August 30th, or you may go offline and be unable to recover until after the upgrade!**
Kava developers will update this PR with the final block number when it is reached. **Make sure the kvd process is stopped before proceeding and that you have backed up your validator**. Failure to backup your validator could make it impossible to restart your node if the upgrade fails.
1. Export State (this **MUST** be done using **v0.14.3**, previous v0.14.x versions will not produce the same genesis hash!)
```sh
kvd export --for-zero-height --height PLACEHOLDER > export-genesis.json
```
**Note:** This can take a while!
2. Update to kava-8
```sh
# in the `kava` folder
git pull
git checkout [TODO: version]
make install
# verify versions
kvd version --long
# name: kava
# server_name: kvd
# client_name: kvcli
# version: [TODO: version]
# commit: PLACEHOLDER
# build_tags: netgo,ledger
# go: go version go1.15.8 linux/amd64
# Migrate genesis state
kvd migrate export-genesis.json > genesis.json
# Verify output of genesis migration
kvd validate-genesis genesis.json # should say it's valid
jq -S -c -M '' genesis.json | shasum -a 256
# PLACEHOLDER
# Restart node with migrated genesis state
cp genesis.json ~/.kvd/config/genesis.json
kvd unsafe-reset-all
# Restart node -
# ! Be sure to remove --halt-time flag if it is set in systemd/docker
kvd start
```
### Coordination
If the kava-8 chain does not launch by August 30, 2021 at 19:00 UTC, the launch should be considered a failure and validators should refer to the [rollback](./rollback.md) instructions to restart the previous kava-7 chain. In the event of launch failure, coordination will occur in the [Kava discord](https://discord.com/invite/kQzh3Uv).

# Kava-8 Rollback Instructions
In the event that the kava-8 relaunch is unsuccessful, we will restart the kava-7 chain using the last known state.
In order to restore the previous chain, the following data must be recovered by validators:
- The database that contains the state of the previous chain (in ~/.kvd/data by default)
- The priv_validator_state.json file of the validator (in ~/.kvd/data by default)
If you don't have the database data, the Kava developer team or another validator will share a copy of the database via Amazon s3 or a similar service. You will be able to download a copy of the data and verify it before starting your node.
If you don't have the backup priv_validator_state.json file, you will not have double sign protection on the first block. If this is the case, it's best to consult in the validator discord before starting your node.
## Restoring state procedure
1. Copy the contents of your backup data directory back to the $KVD_HOME/data directory. By default this is ~/.kvd/data.
```
# Assumes backup is stored in "backup" directory
rm -rf ~/.kvd/data
mv backup/.kvd/data ~/.kvd/data
```
2. Install the previous version of kava
```
# from kava directory
git checkout v0.14.2
make install
## verify version
kvd version --long
```
3. Restart kvd process
```
### be sure to remove --halt-time flag if it is set
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart kvd
```
