The last major Housefire testnet upgrade was on September 9. Core maintainers have been prepared to upgrade for over two months, and the Namada community and key partners have been eagerly awaiting the Namada mainnet upgrade. **Timing is everything,** and Knowable is proposing that we wait no longer.

## Proposing v201.0.7 upgrade at Block 4514500

This is a proposal to upgrade Namada mainnet to v201.0.7 at Block Height 4514500.

We selected 4514500 to target 17:15 UTC Tue Dec 2, but since block times may vary, this is just an estimate. Valopers offers a countdown: [Block #4 514 500 Details - Namada (NAM) Mainnet Explorer](https://namada.valopers.com/blocks/4514500)

## What’s New ✨

Namada’s last major upgrade being [v101.0.0](https://forum.namada.net/t/coordinating-the-pre-phase-4-hard-fork-upgrade-to-namada-v101/1670) in late May. A lot has happened since then. [v201.0.7](https://github.com/namada-net/namada/releases/tag/v201.0.7) is ready to deliver some big unlocks, particularly:

- permissionless IBC assets needed by Osmosis and Polaris
- transaction-level fee capture needed by Borderless Private USDC
- support for Ethereum assets via Cosmos Hub and IBC Eureka needed by Namadillo for shielded swaps
- shielded sync & proof generation optimizations
- general bug fixes for overall reliability

This upgrade will pave the path for the next major upgrade, which will give us a few more big unlocks.

## Onward 🚀

There has been unprecedented excitement around the privacy narrative, and Namada has some [clear paths to PMF](https://forum.namada.net/t/a-new-phase-for-namada-product-market-fit-pmf/1884). There’s a growing interest from new stakeholders who are prepared to rally behind Namada alongside a dedicated community of long-time supporters. This upgrade will give Polaris what they need to use Namada to deliver their privacy-centric roadmap, the means for Namada to capture meaningful shielded pool revenue, and so much more.

Let’s continue pursuing the [mission and vision](https://forum.namada.net/t/the-namada-mission/275) we created together 🔥
