This morning at 9:26 AM EST we mined the FIRST EVER block of Sia v2 #526,001

Welcome to the new era of Sia 😎💚

🎉🥳 IT'S OFFICIAL: 10 years since Sia's mainnet and we're excited to keep building for decades to come. To celebrate we're giving away 10 Sia swag boxes 🎁

👉Follow us
👉Sia is building a future where people control their data by default. Tell us what that looks like!

👉If you're using Ledger, update the Ledger app to v2.0.0. Should be released shortly after activation.

👉If you are using Sia-UI or siad, you must switch to one of the above apps. If you do not switch before activation, the apps will stop working. However, your funds are safe even after the fork

👉If you are holding offline, you do not need to do anything.

👉If your funds are on a CEX, we recommend transferring them to self custody with walletd for the transition.

👉If you are using the lite wallet, you do not need to do anything.

⚠️Final Reminder for v2 Hardfork⚠️
🕕When: June 6, 2025 at 6:34 AM

👉If you are running hostd, renterd, or walletd update to the latest version: hostd v2.2.0, renterd v2.2.1, walletd v2.9.0
👉Hosts must open TCP and UDP port 9984 to support RHP4.

Tomorrow is the day! Less than 24 hours until Sia v2 ;)
