In this series, TCU aims to give regular condensed “state of THORChain” updates. Enjoy!
1. Churn Issue
On 31-Oct, with one node yet to adopt v2.137, the network faced a churn issue due to a new keygen verification step. v2.137.2 and v2.137.3 were released in quick succession to resolve this.
2. Halt Signing BTC
On 4-Nov, a potentially suspicious transaction was noted, and out of an abundance of caution, a few alert nodes elected to halt outbound BTC while investigations were carried out. After the suspicions were cleared, the BTC outbounds were unhalted. Reference: https://x.com/therunetard/status/1853561894126412003
3. RUNE Burn from System Income Increased to 5%
On 18-Nov, node voting reached consensus to increase the RUNE burn from 0.01% to 5% of system income.
4. Short-term Roadmap
Devs are focused on THORChain v3.0.0 hardfork, updating to Cosmos SDK v50 and establishing the AppLayer. Expected mainnet release on week of 9-Dec.
