THORChain Protocol Upgrade v3.19.0
THORChain v3.19.0 is the update that brings the network back after the pause. It carries the security fixes needed to reopen safely, and it adds some great new features on top, with Monero support and revenue sharing as the headlines.
New Chains and Features
🔹 Monero (XMR) Support !4696
Enables Monero chain support. The next few weeks will be focused on testing and fine tuning the remaining details before node operators vote to activate the chain.
🔹 DASH InstantSend Support !4778
DASH swaps now confirm much faster. A feature called InstantSend locks the transaction so THORChain doesn't have to wait around for block confirmations.
🔹 Affiliate Revenue Share (REVSHARE) !4779
Wallets and apps that send swaps to THORChain can now earn a share of the revenue they bring in. A nice incentive for the builders.
🔹 TCY Data Endpoint !4817
A new tool that lets developers see how much TCY the protocol holds. More transparency, easier tracking for dashboards and apps.
Recovery and Security
🔹 TSS Patches !4846
The core security fixes behind the pause. The full technical detail comes out once the network's fully back, which is the safest way to share it. The complete breakdown will follow then.
🔹 Disclosed v3.18.0 Security Fixes !4820
Two earlier security fixes are now being made public as the disclosure process moves along. Both tightened how the network checks and validates transactions.
🔹 Compromised Vault Exclusion !4843
The affected vault's been walled off. Wallets and apps won't send any new funds to it while the recovery's underway, keeping user money well clear of it.
🔹 Temporary Key Check (Keyverify) !4860
A temporary check that confirms every validator's security keys are intact before trading resumes. There's also a status page so operators can watch it happen.
🔹 Key Check Timing Tweak !4865
Gives that key check a bit more time to finish properly across all the validators, so it runs smoothly during recovery.
🔹 Pause Safety Rule !4839
Stops certain vault transactions from firing while signing's deliberately paused, keeping everything in line with the careful recovery steps.
Swaps, Quotes and Tools
🔹 Faster Price Quotes !4828
Price quotes are now quicker to generate, so the apps you swap through feel more responsive.
🔹 Swap Queue Pagination !4819
Makes it easier for explorers and tools to read the list of pending swaps, even when there are loads of them.
🔹 More Reliable Refunds !4803
Refunds are now routed more dependably, so they're less likely to get stuck.
🔹 Accounting Tidy Up !4829
A behind the scenes fix that keeps the network's internal maths consistent and predictable.
Validators and Reliability
🔹 Easier Bond Provider Cleanup !4795
A small quality of life fix that lets node operators tidy up their setup without waiting for a churn cycle.
🔹 Better Validator Tracking !4787
Improves how the network keeps track of validators that miss a key step, making reporting more reliable.
🔹 Stronger TRON Testing !4790
Strengthens TRON testing behind the scenes, so TRON swaps are more dependable before anything goes live.
🔹 Bundle of Smaller Fixes !4794 !4793 !4777
A batch of minor fixes that clear out known issues and keep the code healthy.
Behind the Scenes
🔹 Build Maintenance !4853
Routine housekeeping that keeps the node software building correctly.
🔹 Testing Reliability Fix !4809
A testing fix that makes the network's automated checks more dependable for developers.
