🚨 Fusaka Fork Countdown
**Rocket Pool node operators have less than 48 hours** to prepare for Ethereum's Fusaka hard fork. **Critical upgrade required:** - Smart Node updated to v1.18.6 - All operators must upgrade before mainnet fork - Review details on [GitHub](https://github.com/rocket-pool/smart) before installing This follows the protocol's pattern of mandatory pre-fork updates, similar to the Pectra preparation earlier this year. Node operators who fail to upgrade risk compatibility issues when the hard fork activates.
🗳️ Rocket Pool Governance Votes
Rocket Pool node operators can vote on three governance proposals: **RPIP-74**: Temporarily close minipool queue six weeks before Saturn 1 launch to redirect resources toward megapools **RPIP-75**: Adjust express ticket allocation by removing unconditionally provisioned tickets to speed up the express queue **RPIP-76**: Reduce Grants and Bounties Management Committee from nine to seven members All proposals are live on [Rocket Pool's governance platform](https://vote.rocketpool.net) with detailed specifications available in their respective RPIPs.
