Hello ICONists!

Yesterday, we participated in TestNet Phase 3.0, and it allowed us to find a critical issue in our ICON mainnet node setup. To fix this issue moving forward, we set up a fresh ICON mainnet node with additional safety measures in place. We have put together this guide to help our supporters with transferring their votes from the previous node towards the new node, and to reduce the headache of this process as much as possible.

The process is simple. There is no need to unstake as there is a delay in doing so, simply remove votes from the previous Gilga Capital node and redirect them to the new node named Gilga Capital (Upgraded-LETS GROW ICON).

DETAILED GUIDE

Access your ICONex wallet, go into the Voting tab, and hit My Status. Next, select and log into your primary wallet. For the sake of simplicity, we will be using a wallet with 30 ICX. On the right, you should see this:

Next, hit the Vote button. You will be redirected to this interface:

Change your votes towards Gilga Capital to 0, and hit Vote. You should now see your delegated ICX free up, like so:

Next, scroll down to find the Gilga Capital (Upgraded-LETS GROW ICON) node. Click the + button on the left, like so:

Scrolling up, you’ll now see Gilga Capital (Upgraded-LETS GROW ICON), and you will be able to finish transferring votes to the new node:

After hitting vote, sign the transaction by hitting vote once again:

You’re all set! Checking the Vote tab once again should show your delegation towards our new node:

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our supporters. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to @xlcaliburn or @One221 on telegram; we are here for you.

We are thankful that we discovered this issue now, and not post-decentralization. While we will lose our top 22 and 1.6m vote support through this transition, this upgrade process was critical in order to allow us to increase security, and to protect our voters.

Our campaign promises have not changed. We WILL grow ICON.

Thank you for your support.
