Migration Timeline
info
⚡️ TL;DR: The Powerloom network migration was successful and the old chain has been shut!
🚀 Overview
Powerloom is migrating to a new chain powered by Arbitrum Nitro at epoch 55,000. This document outlines the migration process.
⏳ State Transition Timeline
1. 🔒 Major Operational Freeze (~24 hours before Epoch 55,000) - Done ✅
- Node minting, burning, and vested token claims paused
- Reward claims paused
- Staking and unstaking paused (existing stakers continue earning rewards)
2. 🛑 Network State Freeze (Epoch 55,000) - Done ✅
- All submissions on the old chain stop
- Node operators should see freeze confirmation in logs (see verification logs for more details)
- Existing protocol state is captured for migration
- No new transactions on the old chain
- $POWER holders can still bridge until the old chain is decommissioned
3. 🔄 State Transition Window (~6 hours) - Done ✅
- Complete protocol state migration to the new chain
- Balances, stakes, and rewards transferred
- No submissions processed during this period
- Track progress on the status page
4. 🚀 V2 Chain Switchover - Done ✅
- New chain launches with verified state
- Snapshotter nodes auto-switch to the new chain
- First V2 epoch starts with migrated state (Epoch 55001)
- Normal operations resume with Arbitrum Nitro's enhanced performance
5. 🔒 Protocol State Preservation - Done ✅
- All historical data retained
- Existing stakes and rewards intact
- Uninterrupted protocol operations
- No action required from stakers during the transition
