# Network Upgrades

Chronological list of cheqd Network upgrades from v0.1x onwards.

## Context

Throughout 2022 we released a breaking upgrade roughly once every quarter. Throughout 2023 we continued with this frequency, however releasing non-breaking point releases consistently. In 2024, 2025 and beyond, we intend to release one major network upgrade per quarter.

## Release Timelines

To ensure we upgrade all nodes on the network in the most efficient way whilst maintaining due care to the upgrade process, we run the process in the following steps:

* Testnet proposal
* Testnet upgrade
* Mainnet Upgrade Proposal
* Mainnet On Chain Upgrade

## Get started

Take a look at our network upgrades across the years, including Root Cause Analysis of any Network outage.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cheqd.io/product/network/upgrades.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
