# Kava-5.1 Upgrade Instructions
## Software Version and Key Dates
* We will be upgrading from chain-id "kava-6" to chain-id "kava-5.1". This is to keep the features in our roadmap aligned with the features on mainnet going forward.
* The version of Kava for kava-5.1 is v0.14.0
* Kava-6 validators should prepare to shutdown their nodes March 24th, 2021 at 13:00 UTC by setting `--halt-time` to `1616590800`
* Kava-5.1 genesis time is set to March 24th, 2021 at 15:00 UTC
* The version of cosmos-sdk for kava-5.1 is v0.39.2
* The version of tendermint for kava-5.1 v0.33.9
* The minimum version of golang for kava-5.1 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-6 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 v0.12.4 of the Kava software and restore to their latest snapshot before restarting their nodes.
## Upgrade Procedure
### Before the upgrade
Set your node to produce the final block of kava-6 at __13:00__ UTC March 24th, 2021. To restart your node with that stop time,
```sh
kvd start --halt-time 1616590800
```
You can safely set the halt-time flag at any time.
### 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 March 24th. Do not stop your node and begin the upgrade before 13:00UTC on March 24th, 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 __v0.12.4__, previous v0.12.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-5.1
```sh
# in the `kava` folder
git pull
git checkout v0.14.0
make install
# verify versions
kvd version --long
# name: kava
# server_name: kvd
# client_name: kvcli
# version: 0.14.0
# 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-5.1 chain does not launch by March 24, 2021 at 17:00 UTC, the launch should be considered a failure and validators should refer to the [rollback]("./rollback.md") instructions to restart the previous kava-6 chain. In the event of launch failure, coordination will occur in the [Kava discord](https://discord.com/invite/kQzh3Uv).
