BNB Smart Chain will activate Fermi tomorrow, January 14th at 02:30 UTC. This is a significant network upgrade requiring immediate attention from validators and node operators.

Here's what you need to do:

• Upgrade your nodes to version 1.6.4 before the hard fork goes live
• Be prepared for snapshot regeneration when you restart for the first time
• Allocate resources for log indexing during the restart phase

Timing is critical here. Get your infrastructure ready now to ensure smooth operation during the transition. Missing this window could cause disruptions to your node operations and put you out of sync with the network.

Another hard fork, this time Fermi needs to upgrade to 1.6.4 quickly. Hurry up and adjust resource allocation, or else the logs will crash during restart and it will be over. At 2:30 AM UTC, sleep quality will decline again. Snapshot reconstruction is a bit troublesome, but I still have to keep up. Missing this wave tomorrow will really cause disconnection, so it must be taken seriously. Nodes need to be tinkered with again, a bunch of troublesome issues.

Another hard fork is coming again. I haven't fully recovered from the last upgrade... Install 1.6.4 quickly, don't fall behind later.

Another hard fork, daily upgrades. Can my node just take a break already? No, upgrading at 2:30 AM. Who came up with this schedule? I'm exhausted. Quickly upgrade to 1.6.4, and now I have to redo the snapshot rebuild. This mess is giving me a headache. By the way, will this Fermi upgrade really improve anything, or is it just another false alarm? Luckily, I was notified in advance, or I would have been caught off guard again. This on-chain system just has to be dealt with this way.

Another hard fork is coming. This time, can Fermi avoid dropping the ball?

Another hard fork, upgrading and tinkering every day. I have to stay up late again on this crappy server.

Another hard fork, brothers, upgrade quickly or you'll get beaten up.
