Dear Tezos bakers and all! The Quebec protocol proposal is almost ready. Before formally announcing it, we’d like your feedback on one optimization to Adaptive Issuance: an adaptive maximum issuance bound. More details in this Agora post:

forum.tezosagora.org

This new bound ties maximum issuance to the staked ratio, preventing future scenarios where a stagnation of global staked tez near the target ratio could result in undesirably high issuance rates. We welcome your feedback on this feature and its implementation!

Introducing Protocol-Rewards by Tez Capital Tez Capital (https://tez.capital) is proud to unveil Protocol-Rewards, a tool designed to enhance the reward distribution system on the Tezos blockchain. This new baker utility addresses the complexities of Adaptive Issuance, where the reward amounts can vary based on the new delegation mechanics, that are no longer based on random snapshots. 📕Learn more about how Protocol-Rewards works to closely align delegation reward payments with the new Adaptive Issuance protocol rules

Tez Capital: TezPay URGENT UPDATE BEFORE CYCLE 751 ℹ️ When using the 0.15.x-beta version of TezPay to pay Cycles 748-750, it resulted in a ~10% (per cycle) underpayment to delegators. ⚠️ Going forward bakers must use TezPay 0.16.1-beta or newer for pay cycles 751+! This version contains a fix to delegator underpayment issue for cycles 748-750. 📖 How to update TezPay:

🚫 Do not pay cycles older than 748 using TezPay 0.16.1-beta. If you must pay older cycles, use the latest 0.15.*-beta version of TezPay, which you can keep in your tezpay folder alongside the latest version for payments going forward (cycle 751+). 🚫 ❓ How do I make up the ~10% missed in cycle 748-750 payments to my delegators? ✅ We have released a TezPay extension to address this issue here:

Tez Capital: TezPay Paris & Adaptive Issuance announcements ⚠️ If you are running TezPay in continual mode, the activation of Paris protocol stopped your payments. You'll have to (update* and) relaunch TezPay in continual mode again. Note that continual payments will be stopped again, as a TezPay safety feature, when Adaptive Issuance activates on ~June 19th. ⚠️ All TezPay users have until ~June 21st to update* to at least 0.14.1-beta in order to properly support delegation payments with Adaptive Issuance activated. If you do not update, your delegators who are also stakers may be paid more than they're supposed to. *How to update TezPay:

TezCapital TezGov Update Dear bakers, we have just updated our

gov.tez.capital

portal to allow you to set your #AdaptiveIssuance baker options: edge_of_baking_over_staking & limit_of_staking_over_baking Pulling from the Nomadic Labs blog post (https://research-development.nomadic-labs.com/adaptive-issuance.html), here are the descriptions of the new baker options: edge_of_baking_over_staking: a ratio between 0 and 1, whose default value is 1. This parameter determines the fraction of the rewards that accrue to the delegate’s liquid spendable balance — the remainder accrues to frozen stakes. limit_of_staking_over_baking: a non-negative number, denoting the maximum portion of external stake by stakers over the delegate’s own staked funds. It defaults to 0 — which entails that delegates do not accept external stakes by default. It is moreover capped by a global constant, set to 5 in Oxford, which ensures the baker controls a significant part of the stake. Non-baker staking will be added soon!

TezBake (a.k.a. BakeBuddy), with Octez 20.0 support has been released! ** ⚠️ The Octez 20.0 update is mandatory to support the Paris protocol, which activates on June 4th. To update your baker using TezBake run: tezbake upgrade -a To ensure you're running the right version after the upgrade: tezbake version --all (if you don't have the latest tezbake [v0.15.1-beta] OR if you still use bb-cli, it's HIGHLY recommended to use the "C" upgrade method. Otherwise, use the "A" method as shown above.) 📕 For full update instructions see

docs.tez.capital

☑️ After updating, always check your node's operation using TezBake and using TzKT's schedule view

docs.tez.capital

🔎 You can also monitor the realtime performance of your baker using TezWatch on Discord htt ** PLEASE NOTE: If you've updated your TezBake node in the last 24 hours, please run the update command again and ensure your xtz.node version is 0.28.3

📣 We discovered and fixed 3 potentially critical issues in ParisB. They don't threaten network security nor liveness, but are serious enough to be addressed ASAP. We highly recommend upgrading to Octez v20.0, which fixes ParisB. 🧑‍💻 Learn more here:

research-development.nomadic-labs.com

The first issue concerns the computation of rewards when a baker is overstaked. We thank Inference for raising the first issue, and for their collaboration throughout the process. The second issue is triggered when staking after having changed bakers. This scenario provokes the failure of ensuing unstake requests. The third issue affects Smart Rollups' WASM PVM and significantly increases the computational cost of refutation games (Layer 2 fraud proofs), although they remain feasible. ParisB 2 is included in Octez v20.0 as a user-activated protocol-override. This means that nodes running v20.0 (and higher) will automatically activate the ParisB 2 patch instead of ParisB on June 4th, before block #5,726,209. Dear bakers and node operators, to ensure a smooth activation please upgrade to Octez v20.0. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need help upgrading. Read here 👉
