Development
- The PoC Consortium released BRS 2.2.4 “Propagator” core wallet version. BRS 2.2.4 contains a security fix, UI enhancements, a 4-fold increase of UTStore, and more. This version allows the Burst network to absorb a surge of 80 000 tps for at least 30 seconds.

- Qbundle one-click upgrade is not yet available at the time of publication, but should be implemented very soon.
- MacOS brew formula has been updated as well to 2.2.4 by nixops.
- Great news for miners! The PoC Consortium released the brand new 2.0.0 version of Engraver, the reference Burst cross-platform plotting software. PoCC developer JohnnyFFM explains: “It will replace all previous CPU-Plotting tools, i.e. Engraver 1.0.0 and Xplotter. Engraver 2.0 was done from scratch and offers a solid basis for all future features that are planned. All hashing routines have been massively optimised. Engraver 2.0 is hashing ~20% faster than any other CPU-Plotter. It is also the first CPU plotter supporting the AVX512f instuction set of latest CPUs.”
