Release Date: 5th June

TL;DR Release Highlights:

  • The hard fork will take place at block 1280000. To continue accessing your funds please upgrade your wallets prior to reaching the height!

Improvements:

  • Send and Receive screens became simple to use, thanks to every community member who pushed us to rework the address-related logic
  • Selecting a node looks nicer now and so too the blockchain sync process

Points to mention:

  • Fees for general (Mimblewimble) transactions will increase to 100k Groth. This increase is in order to protect against the threat of spam attacks, whilst keeping the fee minimal for users.

Known limitations:

  • Once generated, do not offer the same offline address to multiple senders of payments.
  • When restoring your funds in automatic mode, verify that your most recent transaction (from any device) was completed at least 1 hour ago. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required.
  • When restoring your funds with your specific node, verify that the node is fully synchronized with the blockchain before starting the restore procedure. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required.
