Cancel Software Upgrade

What is a Cancel Software Upgrade Proposal?

The Cancel Software Upgrade Proposal is a governance mechanism that enables the community to revoke a previously scheduled software upgrade before it takes effect. This ensures the network can adapt quickly if problems are identified or circumstances change.

Use Cases

• Technical Challenges: Issues like incompatibilities or deployment risks found during testing.

• Community Concerns: Major opposition or feedback requiring upgrade reconsideration.

• Identified Bugs: Critical software issues were discovered post-approval of the upgrade proposal.

Proposal Structure

Title: A concise title summarizing the purpose (e.g., “Proposal to Cancel v2.0 Upgrade”).

Summary: Summarize the reason for canceling the scheduled upgrade in 2-3 sentences.
