The Fermi Hard Fork upgrade is coming to the BSC mainnet on January 14, 2026 at 02:30 AM UTC. All validators and builders need to pay attention—upgrading before the fork goes live is not optional but mandatory.

Make sure you're running either version 1.6.4 or 1.6.5 when the activation happens. Missing this deadline could mean your node falls out of sync with the network, so check your current release and plan the upgrade accordingly. This is a critical step to keep the BSC ecosystem running smoothly.

Hey, another upgrade? This time we really can't delay... Mark January 14th --- Is it 1.6.4 or 1.6.5? Need to quickly confirm which version I'm running --- Not upgrading will cause disconnection. Feels like this happens every time, a bit annoying haha --- Two thirty in the early morning? That timing is really harsh --- Forced upgrade process. Luckily I knew in advance, or it would have blown up

Damn, another forced upgrade, gotta stay alert on January 14th? So annoying... --- I really don't want to experience node chain drops, better check the version number quickly --- Why do we always have to do mandatory upgrades? Can't it be more gentle? --- 1.6.4 or 1.6.5, remember that, don't mess it up --- Do I have to stay up in the middle of the night again? BSC's schedule is really surreal --- If no one reminds you before upgrading, you'll really be out of sync, and it'll be too late to cry --- The 2:30 UTC time is really perfect, which time zone's users are actually convenient? --- Forced upgrades are one thing, but the key is to choose one of two versions. Why not unify them directly?

Fuck, Fermi hard fork is coming on January 14th? This time, we really need to take it seriously. Don't mess up 1.6.4 or 1.6.5, or else the nodes will just drop off the chain haha

Haha, another upgrade is coming. This time, I really can't slack off. It must be done before January 14th, or just prepare to go offline.

Yet again, another upgrade... Alright, note down 1.6.4 or 1.6.5, don't fall behind later.

Another hard fork? Quickly check the version numbers, everyone, so you don't get disconnected later.

Will we really go offline if we don't upgrade the hard fork on January 14th... Feeling a bit anxious --- Is it 1.6.4 or 1.6.5? I can't tell which version it is. Can someone help confirm? --- Mandatory upgrade, this time you can't skip it, everyone --- Activate at 2:30 AM, be sure to check the node version again in the evening --- Upgrading and timing are both tight this time. Is the Fermi fork this tense? --- Before the hard fork, you must get the version right; falling behind means disaster --- Which one to install, 1.6.4 or 1.6.5? Please, experts, help answer --- Node upgrades are always rushed. Can't you tell us a week in advance? --- BSC is serious this time, mandatory upgrade. Everyone, hurry up and follow along

The hard fork on January 14th, I have to stay up late again to upgrade... This time I really believe the mandatory upgrade statement. --- Is version 1.6.4 or 1.6.5 more stable? Has anyone experienced issues? --- BSC is really serious this time. If you miss it, you'll be disconnected. Oh my, I need to check the node status a few days in advance. --- Another hard fork... I bet five dollars that someone will forget to upgrade and come to Discord to complain. --- So, upgrading is mandatory, no room for negotiation? I just want to ask if it's possible to be lazy and skip it. --- What time is 02:30 UTC in Beijing time? Anyway, it's midnight again, and I won't get any sleep. --- The prerequisite for the ecosystem to operate smoothly is that our validator group doesn't drop the chain. The pressure is immense.
