BSC mainnet activates the Pasteur hardfork (BEP-673) on 2026-08-25 02:30 UTC; all mainnet nodes must run v1.7.7 by then. The version is taken from the config filename, so this renames the config plus its package.json/sample references.

No blueprint CLI-flag changes are required: the flags removed or deprecated in the Pasteur line (--multidatabase, --fake-beacon*) and the load-breaking [Eth] EnableBAL config.toml field are not used by the blueprint, and config.toml is fetched fresh from the release. Upgrade replaces the instance per the blueprint's upgrade model.

Smoke-tested on BSC mainnet (dev account): v1.7.7 binary downloads and SHA-verifies, release config.toml/genesis apply, --db.engine=pebble is accepted, the node service starts, peers connect, and snap-sync targets the chain head. Build (tsc) and jest (473 tests) pass.

Motivation

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • New blueprint (adding a new protocol — see checklist below)
  • Documentation update
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)

Testing

  • I have run npm run build successfully
  • I have run npm run test and all tests pass
  • I have run npx cdk synth with a sample .env (e.g. from blueprints/dummy/samples/) and it succeeds
  • I have run pre-commit hooks: npm run run-pre-commit

New Blueprint Checklist (if adding a protocol)

  • Blueprint follows the structure of blueprints/dummy/ (reference implementation)
  • Blueprint README follows the standard template (matches Dummy section titles and ordering)
  • Setup section points to Getting Started (not inline instructions)
  • Deployment section leads with AI-driven deployment (Option 1) and manual as Option 2
  • Sample .env files are provided for at least one network (mainnet or testnet)
  • Configuration scripts follow the install/run dispatch pattern (see blueprints/dummy/)
  • Blueprint page added to website/docs/blueprints/ (.mdx mirror importing README)
  • Client Release Channels table added to README under Additional Resources

Documentation

  • I have updated relevant documentation (if applicable)
  • I have run cd website && npm run build with no broken links (if docs changed)
