The proposals to update Config 8 and Config 30 have passed.

The network is now using both the new Plumtree broadcast mechanism and the legacy broadcast mechanism simultaneously.

In approximately one week, we will ask operators to update their validators and nodes. After the update, the network will use only Plumtree broadcasts.

Based on our estimates, this should reduce inbound node traffic by approximately 4× and outbound traffic by 2×. It should also significantly improve synchronization and connectivity for nodes and validators.
