🛠 Update on the Cere Explorer: 🪛
The initial UI problem is solved, but some of you reported one last bug that regarding how validator rewards are displayed.

Summary of the issue:
- A validator’s rewards for a specific era were manually triggered using the staking.payoutStakers call.
- The rewards were correctly credited to the validator’s account, as verified by the free balance before and after the payout.
- Despite the payout being processed successfully on-chain, the validator does not appear under the "recently claimed" section in the PolkadotJS Apps’ targets tab.

TLDR:
On-chain payout mechanics are functioning as expected & the block explorer UI (or related API interactions) is not accurately reflecting the updated state.

If you have encountered a similar issue or have insights into this, please reach out to Bren.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work to ensure an accurate and transparent user experience 🤝

🛠 Cere Blockchain Explorer Issue: fixing 🪛
Quick update on a recent issue in our blockchain explorer that some of you reported over the weekend. The problem stems from non-synchronized primitives with the latest polkadot-js, which has caused inconsistencies within the explorer’s UI system. This was triggered by the deployment of runtime 1.4 to mainnet.

I would like to reassure everyone that this issue is limited to the explorer interface. There is no impact on any core blockchain operations, including staking, rewards, or other critical functionalities 👍

A fix is being rolled out and the procedures have been updated to prevent this from happening in future updates. 🕐 ETA for fix: tomorrow 👷🏻‍♂️

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused and we appreciate your patience as we implement the necessary updates 🤝

🚀Upgrade Cere chain to use Polkadot-v1.4.0 🚀
Cere Network operates its own blockchain environment built on the Substrate framework and is currently using Polkadot v1.2.0. As part of our new release, we have upgraded the Cere chain to use Polkadot v1.4.0

What does this mean for you? Version 1.3 will allow us to handle more transactions concurrently, reduce latency, and increase throughput. And Version 1.4 makes the network more scalable and secure.

Please note that there are no changes included from the Cere end in this release. For more details, kindly refer to the Polkadot v1.4.0 release notes.
