Cross chain functionality on mainnet is currently disabled, and will be reenabled, allowing for PBaaS chain launches along with the full set of all PBaaS and DeFi capabilities either at the mainnet target time above, or earlier, if our community believes we have a majority of nodes, validators, and notaries upgraded. Beyond those changes mentioned, v1.1.1-1 has no new features over and above v1.1.1. As said before, we all want the Verus<->Ethereum bridge live on mainnet ASAP. We will shoot for just after the deadline above to deploy to mainnet.

Due to a great deal of preparation for the Ethereum bridge, as well as testing of extreme use of sub-ID namespaces along with cross-chain use cases, we discovered a potential cross-chain transaction that could be constructed and fail in a way that could block transaction flow for that cross-chain connection. In v1.1.1, Verus VIP will smoothly handle all discovered and known similar cases. What’s new: Verus v1.1.1 includes a new, cross-chain security enhancement that supports witness node monitoring and automatic, multi-chain revocation by a secondary, merge mining node that is started with a new parameter -autonotaryrevoke=notaryid@.

While we always recommend conscientious witness selection and deliberate best practices in revoke/recovery authorities and key management, Auto Notary Revoke provides a real time monitoring capability that can mitigate risks from network attacks that might even involve a majority of witness keys being compromised. We certainly recommend never enabling that to occur based on key management practices, but every level of defense against any threat model is a win for the network, especially when automatic if simply running nodes. v1.1.1 also includes support for mapping to existing ERC1155s with the Verus<->Ethereum bridge, along with its current ERC20 and ERC721 support. Since ERC1155s can serve as either “metadata-enhanced ERC20s”, like Verus currencies, or super-NFTs, like Verus IDs and currencies, Ethereum ERC1155s can now be mapped as either normal Verus currencies or Verus Tokenized ID control tokens. The distinction is important, both in definition fees (ID control tokens are less expensive than currencies to define), and since the definition enables mapping as either one type or the other, mapping as a normal token currency makes sense for ERC1155s that have more than 1 unit of supply, and otherwise, we recommend mapping to ID control tokens for the additional power over the ID.

All of us want the Verus<->Ethereum bridge live on mainnet as soon as is possible, and though this update means we will shoot for just after the deadline above to deploy the Verus<->Ethereum bridge to mainnet, v1.1.1 enables us to do so with the confidence of having truly prepared for the permissionless, sustainable connection we are about to unleash! In addition, this release fixes the following issues: A fix to API revokeidentity, which was failing to revoke properly - no protocol change Rare segfault when mining or staking due to tx rate limiting and a network race condition

Congratulations everyone! As of now, v1.0.* has been looking great on testnet and mainnet. Based on our learning and in-depth bridge analysis, we are making a few small changes, before taking PBaaS to the next level on mainnet. We have been working on final code reviews, testing, and adding minor improvements to the Ethereum bridge contracts and daemon interface for weeks now, and after one more round of live testing on the public testnet, we’d consider their status ready for mainnet deployment.

All that remains is for us all to upgrade to version 1.1, upgrade testnet to the new contracts, finish the final tests, and if all goes as planned, deploy the Ethereum bridge on mainnet. Because no one has yet launched a PBaaS chain from mainnet, we have also added a couple improvements to PBaaS launches that are active in v1.1.

For that reason, v1.1 is mandatory for launching mainnet PBaaS chains as well. What’s new: v1.1 does not add new features, but it does have minor protocol changes, specifically for improving the Ethereum bridge and PBaaS launches.

Announcing v1.0.12-6 - CRITICAL, SOFT-FORK UPGRADE FOR MAINNET AND TESTNET - PLEASE SUPPORT THIS CHANGE BY UPGRADING BEFORE TUE JUL 25 2023 17:00:00 UTC

TESTNET SPECIFIC GUI: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.0.12-6-testnet

This release addresses an issue with authorities on IDs exported/imported between chains. As a result of the issue that this version resolves, a self-sovereign ID can be permanently impacted in a manner that cannot be undone by the permanent owner, when sent cross-chain by a temporary signer under certain conditions.

There are no PBaaS chains on Verus mainnet yet, and this fix warrants a mandatory release to ensure that when people start launching PBaaS chains, as it is critical that a cross-chain ID export should not have any capability to infringe on anyone’s self-sovereign ownership of their ID.

This release also includes a fix for a segfault condition that can occur during a reorganization that reorganizes a recent cross-chain notarization.

What’s new:
v1.0.12-6 does not add new features, but it is critical for miners, stakers, exchanges, notaries and infrastructure providers.

TESTNET SPECIFIC
GUI: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.0.12-5-testnet

We have moved the prior activation target out to ensure that we give the KMD notaries and the majority of miners and stakers time to upgrade before activation and also because we want to make sure that core community members are available to monitor when PBaaS reactivates and all goes live. While this upgrade is labeled critical and not mandatory, we believe everyone would be better off upgrading as soon as possible. What’s new: v1.0.12-5 does not add new features, but this version does include currency supply limits and overflow protection in areas where it was previously possible to exceed with currency definitions. In this version, we have implemented the following limits, which have been selected for the following reasons:

1) 10 billion (-1 SATOSHI) with 8 decimal places (9999999999.99999999) is now the recommended absolute limit for all currency supplies, including over time with conversions and extended tail emissions for blockchains. If you need to use currencies from Ethereum with extremely large supplies, you can map one ERC20 to multiple currencies that can add up to any size supply. You could also aggregate them into an arbitrage basket that would be maintained in balance for profit as it earned fees and could accommodate much larger aggregate supplies. If you absolutely need to support larger currency supplies in your applications and can’t use baskets or move the decimal place to extend your accounting, we can discuss options, all of which we believe come with some compatibility risk. For interoperability across all of crypto and FIAT systems, avoidance of network/JSON communication problems or replumbing (which may be worth doing over time), while still being able to accomodate extremely large supplies via aggregation or by using fewer decimal points, we believe this is the best available option, and these limits provide a solid mathematical security buffer. To understand why 10 billion specifically, most libraries for Bitcoin derived blockchains, including Komodo, Zcash, Verus, and others that are used for parsing and dealing with JSON currency values in APIs or commands will reject parsing single currency values greater than or equal to 10 billion in any context. Exceeding supply limits may make your currency issue unwanted conversion refunds, be unable to be exported across chains, or fail to interoperate properly with some apps over time.

2) This release includes significant work to ensure that boundary conditions are well handled by the network, but be advised – If you exceed these stated limits in your transactions or currency definitions, helping you to resolve any issues you might encounter may not be an urgent priority for project contributors or the growing global network of node operators participating in consensus.

v1.0.12-5 is critical for miners, stakers, exchanges, notaries or infrastructure providers and enforces currency limits that will prevent risk of overflow when PBaaS reactivates on mainnet.

Please upgrade as soon as you are able. We hope to get some rest soon and allow everyone to have a break from new versions.

Thanks!

What’s new: v1.0.12-4 does not add any new features, and the prior version will follow the chain after DeFi reactivation on mainnet, but this version is critical for miners, stakers, exchanges, notaries or infrastructure providers and fixes the following issues: CLI & GUI:

* Fix for a seg fault that may occur on some nodes if a blockchain reorganizes while mining. If this occurs while mining, it could require a resync or bootstrap to continue
* Fix for a suspected potential stall that may (unconfirmed) stop a node that is not mining from continuing to sync under the same conditions
* Fix for API funding of transactions
* Fix for failure to update identity when revocation authority is locked
* Fix for the potential that some attempts to create blocks will fail when merge mining a PBaaS chain
GUI:
* Fix incorrect txid labeling in lite mode on ElectrumX
* Bridgekeeper mining fix
* Fixes KMD interest calculation in transaction sends
* Fixes BTC fee calculation when sending transactions
All miners, stakers, exchanges, and infrastructure providers, we recommend that you upgrade to v1.0.12-4 or later as soon as you are able. Thanks!

"Just wanted to share. Due to google play policy, VerusMiner got suspended from the playstore and will not be available anymore for download. For the meantime, current and future releases can still be downloaded from the official GitHub repo.
I'll try to find an alternative app stores( like apk pure or taptap) if needed. For now,  official releases will be on GitHub.

https://github.com/pangz-lab/verus_miner-release

In addition, although VerusBox is still available from playstore, mining feature will be totally removed in the next release to avoid the same fate. Other features will still be available."

Version 1.0.11 is a candidate for the final, mandatory release, and is being released now both for public testing and also to enable the KMD notaries to have an upgrade version before DeFi re-enablement that is likely to also be the final mandatory version for full PBaaS and ETH bridge support on mainnet. We will announce if this version is ready for that re-enablement as soon as we’ve finished tests on the public testnet. In any case, we do highly recommend v1.0.11, and it has a high chance of being our final PBaaS version. Testnet users, please upgrade as soon as possible. Thanks!

In addition to everything in v1.0.9, v1.0.10 includes a change which after activation, will upgrade the data for fractional currencies to cleanup data remnants that do not affect conversions, prices, fees, reserves, or supply, but are exceptions to a form of doubly redundant accounting on chain that we will restore in alignment across all currencies. To do that, we’ve reinstated the DeFi oracle, so although normal non-PBaaS functions continue to operate fine on mainnet, DeFi will once again be disabled until the time above to ensure an easy and smooth network transition that allows more complete consensus on the network when the change happens. It also enables us to deal with known currency states that have been tested for the transition, vs. unknown currencies launching and in various states of launch and import/export. We have also instated the DeFi oracle on testnet and will remove it at the activation time above, providing a final dry run of the same process that will occur on mainnet at the indicated time.

What’s New Fixes: This version fixes all known issues with DeFi and cross-chain, as well as fixes the API command “estimateconversion”, which provides the ability to specify a liquidity basket conversion and get an estimate on its result that takes into account all pending transactions and solves in the same simultaneous way as it will be done on chain when calculating the estimate. It is still an estimate, but it also takes potential slippage into account and the most likely actual price you should receive in many common scenarios. As I said before, we all want full DeFi, multichain and the ETH bridge live and operational on mainnet. Thanks everyone for upgrading quickly and for all the support you’ve shown as we have gotten to v1.0.10. I especially appreciate the support of those who have been only helpful and many who even jumped on the last release before we knew it would be replaced. You still know what to do!
