# MAJOR UPGRADE ON MAINNET 9 AM US EASTERN 1400 UTC DECEMBER 10TH
MainNet will go through a protocol-changing major upgrade on Wednesday, December 10th, starting at 9 am US Eastern (1400 UTC). Here are the most important things you need to know, and some recommendations on how to prepare.
MainNet will pause and go offline at the start of the major upgrade, 9 am US Eastern (1400 UTC)
MainNet will remain down between 3 and 6 hours
This major upgrade with downtime was approved by a vote of the Super Validators to adopt CIP-0089
The proven upgrade path is 0.4.23 -> 0.5.1. You must upgrade your Validator to 0.4.23 or 0.4.25 before the major upgrade.
Validators will stop processing transactions as soon as MainNet begins this pause.
To rejoin the network and resume processing transactions, Validators must complete the migration steps outlined in the technical documentation for Major Upgrades, here:
https://docs.sync.global/validator_operator/validator_major_upgrades.html
MainNet’s Migration ID will change as part of this upgrade. The Super Validators will announce the new Migration ID once MainNet comes back online. The default Migration_ID value will be 4, unless announced otherwise by the Super Validators.
Every node should take a full backup of its node and identities before the upgrade. Details here:
https://docs.sync.global/validator_operator/validator_backups.html#backups
**Important Points:**
Before initiating the upgrade procedure, Validators should confirm that their nodes do not have any Ledger API users without party-level permissions
See the example provided here:
https://github.com/global-synchronizer-foundation/docs/discussions/19#discussioncomment-15013845
Exchanges and other Application Providers should read closely through the additional guidance provided here:
https://docs.digitalasset.com/integrate/devnet/exchange-integration/node-operations.html#rolling-out-major-splice-upgrades
The proven upgrade path for this upgrade is Splice 0.4.23 -> Splice 0.5.1. All Validators must upgrade to Splice 0.4.23 before the upgrade.
Upgrading to Splice 0.4.25 is optional; the 0.4.25 -> 0.5.1 upgrade path will also succeed.
*Note that, as outlined in the long-term schedule, this major upgrade will be followed immediately by a minor (non-forking) upgrade to Splice 0.5.4.*
@Canton Builder @Dev Announcements
Remember that the MainNet Major upgrade on December 10th will not preserve history for private transactions: that means all transactions involving anything other than Canton Coin will no longer be available on your Validator node or anywhere else onchain.
All Validator node operators, application providers and wallet providers should make plans to back up and retain any transaction history you may require for financial reporting or other purposes.
As of now, future major upgrades are expected to retain transaction history, so this will not be an ongoing issue.
