GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.9-1-testnet

This release fixes an issue discovered yesterday that had blocked the Kaiju conversion basket due to an error, leading to a decision to issue an oracle notification, which has disabled DeFi and cross-chain operations on the network out of caution until the fix is deployed. AS PER TODAY’S COMMUNITY MEETING, YOUR NODES WILL STAY ON THE NETWORK ONLY IF THEY ARE UPDATED BEFORE THE ORACLE NOTIFICATION IS LIFTED, WHICH WILL BE NOT EARLIER THAN 24 HOURS FROM THIS RELEASE BUT MAY BE UP TO 48 HOURS. IF YOU ARE NOT UPDATED BY THE TIME THE NOTIFICATION IS LIFTED, MOST LIKELY YOU WILL JUST NEED TO UPGRADE AND RESTART TO GET BACK ON ANY PBAAS CHAIN. V1.2.9 includes the following fixes and improvements: Fix for the error that caused Kaiju to be blocked. We anticipate after the notification is lifted, all operations will complete and then resume as expected. Fix for refunds to not get blocked in an edge case of a non-functional parameter being used for a PBaaS blockchain launch, followed by failed funding conditions on its launch. A new API, z_getencryptionaddress, which gives access to HD wallet derivation, combined with identity relationships to generate z-addresses specific to a sender and receiver, which are intended to be used by applications for P2P encryption. Please be sure to update as soon as possible.

Please be sure to update as soon as possible.

From verus discord: Just a few hours ago, a set of conversions on the Kaiju basket, which together represented a substantial portion of the Kaiju currency supply, combined with other transactions using Kaiju, exposed an error in the daemon that caused the Kaiju basket to stop processing conversions until it is fixed in an update. Out of an abundance of caution, an oracle notification to pause DeFi was issued as soon as this was noticed, which has paused all conversions and cross-chain transactions until the community decides that the notification should be lifted. We believe that to avoid similar errors on any baskets that might find a way to process, potentially making things worse, it is important that we leave DeFi paused until this error is fixed. We are testing a fix that when released, will fix the issue as soon as the DeFi notification is lifted. We will have to decide as a community how soon we are willing and able to upgrade and do that. We will have a community meeting to decide that timing at 18:00 UTC tomorrow. After activation of the update, Kaiju and all baskets should resume and continue to process normally with unfinished transactions completing as expected.

Announcing Verus v1.2.5-3 - MANDATORY UPDATE (2 WEEK NOTICE) WITH PROTOCOL UPGRADE SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 24TH, 6PM UTC ON ALL MAINNET PBaaS CHAINS AND NOVEMBER 12TH, 1:00 AM UTC FOR TESTNET UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.5-3 OR GREATER FOR VERUS AND ALL PBaaS CHAINS BEFORE NOVEMBER 24TH, 6PM UTC TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN v1.2.5-3

CLI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/VerusCoin/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3
GUI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3

GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3-testnet

Addresses an issue discovered by community member @F0rked that prevents some currencies that are in a blockchain definition from being sent off of PBaaS chains, although they can be sent to them from VRSC. For example, although vETH is part of the vARRR chain definition and can be sent to vARRR, if you do send vETH to vARRR right now, you will need to wait until this update activates to send it back to VRSC.

Needless to say, we do not recommend that you do send vETH to vARRR, and we do not see this happening to any significant degree, but to avoid any unreasonable delay in people being able to move their own funds across chains, we have opted to schedule this update for 2 weeks from now, which is a time when core people will be available, rather than wait until January of next year. v1.2.5-3 Verus Desktop in native mode also includes new support for the updated application login protocol with VerusID on desktop using deep links. We expect this will be useful for developers as well as those who prefer to login to Verus apps with their native desktop rather than mobile phones. Please be sure to update as soon as possible.

Announcing Verus v1.2.5-2 - CRITICAL UPDATE FOR MINERS AND STAKERS THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE PENDING PROTOCOL CHANGE, SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC ON MAINNET UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.5-1 OR GREATER FOR VERUS AND ALL PBaaS CHAINS BEFORE NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN v1.2.5-2

includes a number of minor fixes of data functionality, some improvements with the TLS connection support that has been ported from Pirate, and hardening against a minor vulnerability discovered during a code review, which has never occurred on any part of the network, would require very specific, likely non-existent conditions, and which will be protected against on the network when the majority of miners and stakers upgrade to v1.2.5-2. Please update as soon as possible, especially if you are mining or staking on Verus or any PBaaS chains.

Announcing Verus v1.2.5-1 - MANDATORY UPDATE INCLUDING PROTOCOL CHANGE, SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC ON MAINNET AND IMMEDIATELY ON TESTNET UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.5-1 OR GREATER FOR VERUS AND ALL PBaaS CHAINS BEFORE NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN

GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-1-testnet
v1.2.5-1 includes a fix to address minor basket disruptions caused by an attacker, who has been attempting to game conversions by creating small conversions at rounding boundaries, resulting in them losing fees and having no success. Until v1.2.5-1 activates, we can use auto-arbitrage, as we did this time, to clear any disruptions, should there be any. After November 7th at 6PM UTC when the protocol changes activate, including the basket disruption fix and the identity referral change that was previously scheduled for January 15th, all protocol changes will be active in the protocol. Please update as soon as possible.

Announcing Verus v1.2.5 - CRITICAL UPDATE FOR BRIDGEKEEPER OPERATORS AND FIRST UPDATE INCLUDING PROTOCOL CHANGE, SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 15TH, 8PM UTC, (OCTOBER 29TH, 7PM UTC FOR TESTNET) ADDRESSING ONE KNOWN PROTOCOL ERRATA UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.5 OR GREATER FOR VERUS AND ALL PBaaS CHAINS BEFORE JANUARY 15TH, 8PM UTC TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN OR DELAYS ON CROSS-CHAIN NOTARIZATION FOR PBaaS CHAINS AFTER A REORG IF YOU RUN BRIDGEKEEPER, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU UPGRADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS v1.2.5 INCLUDES RESILIENCE TO A CHANGE EXPECTED BY ETHEREUM RPC PROVIDERS. UPGRADING NOW WILL HELP ENSURE ROBUST OPERATION OF THE ETHEREUM BRIDGE IF / WHEN SUCH A CHANGE HAPPENS

Announcing Verus v1.2.4-2 - CRITICAL UPDATE TO PREVENT POTENTIAL PBaaS, CROSS-CHAIN OR FORK ISSUES UPDATE TO v1.2.4-2 OR GREATER IS RECOMMENDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN OR DELAYS ON CROSS-CHAIN NOTARIZATION FOR PBaaS CHAINS AFTER A REORG

CLI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/VerusCoin/releases/tag/v1.2.4-2
GUI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.4-2

GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.4-2-testnet

v1.2.4-2 Addresses an issue that occurred on the vARRR chain with overly aggressive memory caching of blockchain information that has the potential to cause a PBaaS chain node to fall out of sync in the case of a reorg. It also fixes another issue that can sometimes delay the resolution of cross-chain notarizations if a fork on a PBaaS chain forces a cross-chain challenge competition. The vARRR fork has been resolved.

The oracle notification to disable cross-chain functionality has been removed, resuming cross-chain transactions. Thanks to those that helped provide information and that took timely action to update. If you wound up on the vARRR fork, a resync is the most straightforward and reliable way to fix your node. In addition, v1.2.4-2 adds checking and will throw errors if the cli command sendrawtransaction is used and the transaction being sent is recognized as having an absurdly high fee payment.

As there are transactions you could make where this check might still allow an excessively high fee to be sent, this is intended to help prevent simple errors on typical send types of transactions, such as forgetting a change output. Even after this update, please always double check that your transactions have appropriate change outputs before using sendrawtransaction. v1.2.4-2 HAS NO PROTOCOL CHANGES

On September 19, 2024, NATI🦉 was launched, a liquidity pool currency with reserves including NATI, tBTC, ETH, and VRSC. The preconversion period, lasting until September 22, 23:55 UTC, allowed users to deposit but not withdraw these reserve currencies.
Initial Valuation & Price Dynamics

At launch, NATI🦉’s reserves were immediately filled with 150 tBTC and 3,999 vETH (TBTC & Ethereum bridged over from Ethereum), giving the basket currency a total valuation of $36 million. The preconversion cap for VRSC was set at 3.3 million coins, effectively pegging its minimum value to around $2.80 (~4523 sats) per coin.

As the preconversion period neared its end, VRSC’s participation in the reserves remained low, driving its implied value within NATI🦉 to approximately $9 per coin. This discrepancy led to strategic movements of VRSC from other basket currencies like Bridge.vETH and Pure, further amplifying the VRSC value in those pools.
Post-Launch Market Activity

The moment the preconversion period ended, the protocol entered a phase of intense activity. Arbitrage opportunities emerged across various basket currencies, resulting in a staggering MEV-free 24-hour on-chain volume exceeding $60 million. This frenzy of trading activity pushed VRSC to a new all-time high of $4.17.

The high on-chain volume also resulted in miners and stakers being handsomely rewarded by block rewards of up to 27 VRSC (regular block rewards being 6 VRSC). Half of the conversion fees go to the block producers, the other half to the reserves of liquidity pool currencies.

The NATI🦉 launch and subsequent market dynamics have highlighted the interconnectedness of decentralized finance ecosystems and the potential for rapid value realignment in cryptocurrency markets. The TVL on the Verus Protocol is now more than $75 million.

For correct price and volume information on VRSC go to Coinpaprika.com. They are the only coin aggregator so far that show data from on-chain DeFi activity. It is worth noting that all on-chain trading activity on the Verus Protocol is MEV-resistant. Read more here.
Real Fair DeFi

Whatever market participant you are, you are best served with the Verus Protocol. Verus DeFi is fully functional on mainnet for everyone to use.

    No MEV (no front-running, back-running or sandwich attacks)
    Truly decentralized (it’s a credibly neutral protocol — not a business, company or otherwise rent-seeking)
    The same fair price for all market participants within 1–10 block(s)
    Secured at the protocol level
    Low conversion fees of max. 0.05%
    Permissionless launching of liquidity pools
    Bridged to Ethereum (all ERC-20s can be bridged to the Verus Protocol, in a non-custodial and trustless manner, and vice versa)
    Decentralized crowdfund mechanisms for your currency (e.g. token, liquidity pool, native PBaaS coin), such as pre-launch discounts, pre-launch carveouts and pre-allocations
