Adoption Instruction

Node Runners need to update their configurations to enable some of the new featuers

Configurations - Mempool for Block Size

In order to enable larger block sizes, the mempool also needs to double to account for that capacity. Therefore, node runners are asked to double their mempool configs.

For example, if it was previously

"Mempool": {
    "RootDir": "/home/app/.pocket",
    "Recheck": true,
    "Broadcast": true,
    "WalPath": "",
    "Size": 9000,
    "MaxTxsBytes": 1073741824,
    "CacheSize": 9000,
    "MaxTxBytes": 1048576
},

The new suggested configurations are:

"Mempool": {
    "RootDir": "/home/app/.pocket",
    "Recheck": true,
    "Broadcast": true,
    "WalPath": "",
    "Size": 18000,
    "MaxTxsBytes": 2147483648,
    "CacheSize": 18000,
    "MaxTxBytes": 2097152
},

Configurations - Session Rollover

client_session_sync_allowance was added with the following description:

- **"client_session_sync_allowance"**: The +/- allowance in amount of sessions for a relay request \(mechanism to allow for servicing stale sessions for whenever session height changes.)

It is an optional configuration, defaulting to 1, that can be set in the pocket_config section of the config.json file.

"pocket_config": {
    ...
    "client_session_sync_allowance": 0
  }
