Changelog

• Mainnet is now running updated validator and RPC builds.
• May 2026 inflation and Soul Master rewards have been applied on mainnet.
• This release brings a broad round of security hardening and adds another layer of defense-in-depth across the validator and RPC.
• The VM enforces robust execution guardrails, with firm limits on call depth, nesting, structure size, and large intermediate values, so contract execution stays predictable and safe.
• Input validation was reinforced across the serialization and decoding paths, so nodes confidently handle even malformed or oversized data.
• Network-layer protections were strengthened with tighter connection and message-size limits, keeping nodes stable under heavy network load.
• Block and transaction size limits were tightened to keep block production lean and predictable.
• Consensus failover and leader recovery are faster and more reliable.
• The validator status endpoint is faster and more resilient, served from a cached snapshot, protected against slow connections, and with more headroom for operators.
• VM opcode handling was refined and now ships with broader test coverage.
• RPC added connection limits and request rate limiting to keep public mainnet endpoints fast and responsive under load, and event reconstruction no longer emits a duplicated NFT mint event.
• These same validator and RPC builds are now also running on testnet, without the inflation resolution.
