How to Update Your Plugin Node for the Latest XDC Gas Fee

Note:- XDC's recent upgrade to version 2.0 impacts the gas fees required per transaction in its network, making it necessary to update Plugin nodes to reflect the new fees. The steps for this upgrade are outlined below.

This documentation guides plugin node operators in updating their node configurations to avoid transactions being stuck in a pending state due to insufficient gas fees. It is recommended to modify the config.toml file by setting the minimum gas price to 12.5 gwei, as the default value of 1 gwei may result in job failures. By implementing this change, node operators can ensure smooth transaction processing and prevent operational disruptions.

Follow these steps to update the Plugin node on your server to reflect the latest gas fee:

Step 1: Login to the Server

• Open your terminal and log in to the server hosting the Plugin node:

  • ssh [your-username]@[server-ip-address]

Step 2: Navigate to the Configuration File

• Navigate to the directory containing the configuration file:

  • cd /path/to/pluginV2/

Step 3: Edit the config.toml File

• Open the config.toml file using your preferred text editor (e.g., nano or vim):

  • nano config.toml

Step 4: Modify the File

• In the config.toml file, add the following section under the existing content

  • [EVM.GasEstimator]

  • PriceMin = '12.5 gwei'

Step 5: Save the Changes in the file

• For nano, press CTRL + X, then Y to confirm, and Enter to save.

• For vim, press Esc, type :wq, and press Enter.

Step 6: Restart the Plugin Node

• Restart the Plugin node to apply the changes:

• pm2 restart [process ID] (Replace [process ID] with the actual process ID of the Plugin node.)

Step 7: Verify the Changes

• Ensure the node is running properly by checking the status and node logs:

  • pm2 status

  • pm2 log [process ID]
