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.
