We are planning to upgrade the smart contract for chunk upload pricing. The new contract will adjust upload prices dynamically based on the network’s utilization, resulting in dramatically higher upload prices and rewards. This marks a major improvement for everyone participating in the network!
However, this change will significantly impact the rewards. Due to the much higher upload rewards after the upgrade, current leaderboard earnings will become relatively insignificant in comparison.
No sorry. What will happen is, we will setup the current contract to be a proxy for the new one. It doesn’t require a new build of either antnode or ant, or even restarting any nodes. It hasn’t been done yet, but we will announce when it has.
