👉 Remember that v19.0 is the minimal version of Octez compatible with Oxford 2 🧑‍🍳 Tezos bakers, please make sure both v19.x Nairobi and Oxford 2 bakers are up and running around activation time. Discover more:

TezBake (a.k.a. BakeBuddy), with Octez 19.1 support has been released! ⚠️ The Octez 19.X update is mandatory to support Oxford, which activates on February 9th. ✅ The latest Octez 19.1 update specifically is recommended for public RPC node and rollup node operators. While all Octez updates are highly recommended, this one is not mandatory for baker setups that don't expose their RPC to the internet and that don't dabble in rollups. To update your baker using TezBake run: tezbake upgrade -a (if you don't have the latest tezbake OR if you still use bb-cli, it's recommended to use the "C" upgrade method. Otherwise, use the "A" method as shown above.) 📕For full update instructions see
