The block producers are making the push for all Telos BPs to be running EOSIO 2.0.4 as soon as possible to allow the new EOS-VM features to bring 10x speeds to the network!

As you are aware, BlockOne has released the latest version of EOSIO software (v2.0+) and there are many new features available in the latest release. One of these key features is the EOS-VM functionality that allows nodes to process transactions 10X+ times faster than the 1.8 software did.

As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and just as true, it’s important that all Telos nodes upgrade to the latest version of EOSIO (2.0.4 at this time) and configure their nodes with the recommended settings provided below (or determine your own if you desire). We highly encourage all Telos node operators to upgrade to the EOSIO 2.0.4+ version on their nodes to avoid any issues once the newer features/speed is being utilized.
