Migrating from Plugin Node V2 to V2.4 Without Changing the Node Address

This guide outlines the process of upgrading Plugin Node from version 2.0 to 2.4 while transitioning from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04, all while preserving the existing node address. A hard reset and fresh installation normally result in a new node address. However, maintaining the current address provides key advantages:

• No need to withdraw or transfer funds

• Seamless access to deposited XDC and PLI

• Easier adoption of Plugin 2.4’s new features

Upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 is essential for long-term security and support. By following this approach, node operators can streamline the upgrade process while minimizing operational disruptions.
