Pactus Version 1.1.0 (Hanoi)

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.
