In Brief
Following the activation of Soneium Minato, operators are strongly encouraged to update their node setups with the latest versions of op-geth and op-node, to rectify a significant bug affecting Layer 1 blob base fees.

Ethereum Layer 2 network, Soneium The latest announcement confirmed that all Soneium Minato node operators are required to implement updates by March 20 to ensure they stay in sync with the network, though this won’t immediately affect developers or end users.
As Ethereum prepares for its Pectra hardfork, which incorporates both the Prague and Electra upgrades, the OP stack will embark on a two-phase upgrade procedure to leverage Pectra’s advancements fully. As a part of the Superchain, Soneium will execute these updates in two stages: the first will secure compatibility post-Pectra upgrade on Ethereum Layer 1, while the second phase will enable OP stack chains to adapt to new features meant for Layer 2 networks.
🚨 Important Update Regarding the Soneium Minato Pectra Activation 🚨
It was announced that Soneium Minato node operators are required to upgrade to the current op-geth and op-node versions before the Pectra activation date for Ethereum Sepolia. Additionally, to resolve the op-node bug, modifications to the rollup.json file are necessary to explicitly define the Soneium Minato EIP-1559 parameters.
Soneium The process for upgrading differs based on the type of node being operated. Those running Soneium Minato full nodes (utilizing op-geth with the gcmode=full flag) must first complete an intermediate step before transitioning to the latest versions, while operators of archive nodes (using op-geth with the gcmode=archive flag) can skip directly to the latest releases.
Soneium emphasizes the need for all Soneium Minato nodes to update to the most recent versions, specifically op-node v1.12.0 and op-geth v1.101503.0, alongside modifications to the rollup.json file as indicated in their documentation.
