Filecoin(FIL) v17 Shark Network Upgrade

The next Filecoin mandatory network upgrade is v17, and codenamed Shark is expectedat epoch 2383680, on Nov 30th on 2022-11-30T14:00:00 Z. All node operators, including storage providers, must upgrade to this release before that time. Storage providers must update their daemons, miners, market and worker(s)/boost.

The Filecoin Virtual Machine is being introduced incrementally. This minimizes the risk of disruption to the network, and gives developers plenty of opportunities to engage early on. Hence, this upgrade delivers a wave of protocol refinements that will allow for useful smart contracts to be written using the FVM (eg. programmable markets, lending contracts, etc.). It includes consensus-breaking changes and a couple of necessary improvements for the Network.
