2 hours remain until the Qtum v29.1 hard fork takes place. Highlights from this update include: • Stronger privacy options • BLS12‑381 precompile for ZK rollups • Bitcoin Core 27–29 upgrades • Faster tx propagation & fewer orphans • Ephemeral dust support • CMake build system • Faster & more reliable transaction handling • More consistent node behavior • UPnP (finally) removed and replaced with PCP / NAT-PMP • Wallets benefit indirectly because a stronger node network = faster, more reliable transaction propagation • Better Tor binding behavior This upgrade will allow for more efficient ZK-Rollups on Qtum, while strengthening the underlying encryption that keeps everything secure. This has a lot more impact than it sounds, as ZK-Rollups allow for some powerful layer 2 scaling solutions that can significantly improve throughput for all kinds of applications. Most notably trading, gaming, gambling, file hosting, and even cross-chain bridges, etc. To read the blog post on our website: qtum.org/blog/whats-included-i...… To upgrade your node to v29.1 github.com/qtumproject/qtum/re...…
