Algorand Indexer 2.9.0-rc1 adds V31 consensus support, StateProof keys, and contract-to-contract calls
The Algorand Indexer has entered a pre-production phase with the release of version 2.9.0-rc1, a build designed for running on betanet networks. This update introduces support for the V31 go-algorand consensus upgrade and adds support for StateProof keys and contract-to-contract calls. The release also includes improvements to the block-generator payment algorithm and updates to the go-algorand submodule.
Algorand Indexer versions 2.6 and 2.7 deprecated in favor of 2.8.x
Users running Algorand Indexer versions older than 2.8.x should upgrade to the 2.8.x series to ensure compatibility with an upcoming consensus protocol upgrade. The upgrade requires a full rebuild of the indexer database, which is expected to take more than a week for the mainnet on most hardware. While version 2.8.0 and subsequent releases will maintain database compatibility, there will be no new releases compatible with databases built on versions older than 2.8.0.
