April 14, 2024
Pactus 1.1.0 (Hanoi) Released

Overview

Pactus Blockchain Version 1.1.0 (Hanoi) is now available for download. This release includes the following applications:

  • Pactus GUI: The graphical user interface (GUI) for the Pactus node that is suitable for both beginners and experienced users.

  • Pactus Daemon: The command-line interface (CLI) for the Pactus node that is suitable for experienced users.

  • Pactus Shell: The command-line tool that allows users to interact with a Pactus node.

  • Pactus Wallet: The wallet software that allows users to manage their wallet and send transactions without the need to sync the entire blockchain.

This release is named after the city of Hanoi, and it was unanimously selected by the Pactus community.

Highlights

This update brings some changes that are not compatible with the earlier version. Here are the key points:

  1. Fee calculations are now rounded, and fees can be accepted within a range of one NanaoPAC (see #1174).
  2. Small bonds for existing validators are now accepted (see #1152).

Validators must update their nodes to this version as soon as possible.

Other major changes in this version include:

  • The addition of a JSON-RPC endpoint required by third parties like exchanges to connect to Pactus nodes.
  • The implementation of Pactus Shell tools, allowing users to query the node.

Additionally, this version improves the syncing process for new nodes, enhances the GUI, and addresses several issues.
