| 27 | +| Monday, June 29, 2026 at 15:00 UTC | Arbitrum Sepolia upgrade to ArbOS 61 | Node operators running Arbitrum Sepolia | |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Context |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +ArbOS 61 "Elara" builds upon [ArbOS 51 "Dia"](docs/run-arbitrum-node/arbos-releases/arbos51.mdx). It introduces a set of protocol upgrades to Arbitrum One and Nova, including support for Dynamic Pricing (multidimensional gas pricing), increased Stylus contract size limits, and new mechanisms for managing minimum base fees. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +<VanillaAdmonition>While Dynamic Pricing is included in this release, it will remain disabled at the time of activation. This is because ongoing analyses - led by Offchain Labs in collaboration with Entropy Advisors- have not yet finalized the appropriate gas target parameters required for safe and effective enablement.</VanillaAdmonition> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +The ArbOS 61 governance temperature check has already passed successfully. Upstream governance for ArbOS 61 follows the standard process, including Snapshot temperature checks and an on-chain vote prior to activation on Arbitrum One and Nova. |
