We’re excited to announce the upcoming **Morph Viridian update** — a major network upgrade introducing new features and improvements for both **Morph Hoodi Testnet** and **Morph Mainnet**.   
  
This release enhances developer flexibility and performance, while keeping the network stable and aligned with the latest Ethereum standards.  
  
**What’s New?** 
  
**EIP-7702 Support**  
 Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) can now temporarily act like smart contract accounts — opening new possibilities for flexible wallet interactions and on-chain automation.  
  
**Core Upgrades**

- **Go-Ethereum updated to v2.0.7**  
[Release: Viridian (morph-v2.0.7)](https://github.com/morph-l2/go-ethereum/releases/tag/morph-v2.0.7?ref=blog.morph.network)
- **Morph Node binary upgraded to v0.4.5**  
[Release: v0.4.5](https://github.com/morph-l2/morph/releases/tag/v0.4.5?ref=blog.morph.network)

### 🗓 Upgrade Schedule

| Environment     | Date & Time (UTC)   | Expected Duration |
| --------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- |
| Testnet (Hoodi) | Oct 27, 6:00 AM UTC | \~1 hour          |
| Mainnet         | Nov 3, 6:00 AM UTC  | \~1 hour          |

### ⚙️ Important Notice for Node Operators

Please ensure you **update your nodes to the latest version** before the scheduled upgrade time.  
  
Failure to upgrade in time may cause your node to **fall out of sync with the network** (blockchain state fork), leading to **inconsistent data or temporary downtime** until it’s updated.
